Commissioning
4.1
General
The actual procedure for commissioning a load cell is simple, provided that the load cells and
cables have been properly installed. Commissioning of the control unit is described in the relevant
chapter of the control unit manual.
Check the following:
•
that the load cells have been correctly installed and aligned
•
that all screws have been tightened to the correct torque
•
that all cables are correctly installed and connected
•
that all connectors are plugged in
4.2
Preparatory Calculations
To be able to set the correct measuring range, the measurement force per load cell F
R
/2 at maxi-
mum tension T must be calculated. Each load cell is subjected to half the total measurement force
F
R
. This calculation must be done before commissioning can begin. Calculation of F
R
is described
in
