When replacing a load cell the correct type and capacity load cell should be
selected, once fitted it will need to be calibrated and checked, there is an
overload stop that should be adjusted to protect the load cell.
The overload stop should be adjusted to allow the minimum downward
movement of the load cell once full load is on the weighing platform, set the
overload stop by placing full load evenly onto the platform then adjust the stop
screw before locking it into position using the nut provided.
To replace a load cell on an MCW firstly unscrew the 4 x fixing screws that
secure the foot rest to the chair assembly and remove, then unscrew the 4 x
fixing screws that secure the chair assembly to the main frame.
This then exposes the weighing platform for both the MCW L and MDW L.
Unscrew the 4 x load cell fixing bolts that secure the load cell to the weighing
platform and remove.
Turn the platform over and unscrew the 4 x load cell fixing bolts that secure
the load cell to the main base.
The load cell can then be removed and disconnected from the cable
connector.
Fit the new load cell to the main base ensuring that the arrow for direction of
movement points downwards and the 4 x fixing bolts are tightened well, then
solder the wires to the Indicator connector.
Refit the weighing platform and tighten the 4 x fixing bolts, check that the
overload stop is correctly set before testing.
Follow the steps below to remove and replace a load cell.
