10.4. Checking the Load Cell Connection Using the Digital Multimeter
Using the digital multimeter, load cell connection can be checked easily.
The figure below indicates the measurement points to check the connection.
When a summing box is used, the same measurements are required inside the box.

cell cable
Normally less than 100mV.
Can exceed 1V when the load cell cable is
extremely long.
Should be 0V for 4-wire connection.
