Load Cell Battery Replacement
The display panel will indicate a low battery for approximately three (3) weeks before the battery fails.
Starting for systems sold during and after February 2008,
Cranesmart™ Systems will supply replacement power cells for
our transmitters for the cost of freight shipping (customers are responsible for any incurred taxes/duties).
Before replacing the batteries call the service department at (888) 562-3222 or (780) 437-2986. Once you have verified
that it is a dead battery follow the steps below.
Please have the serial number of your system handy before calling for replacement batteries or to ask for
technical assistance. You can find the serial number on either the display panel or the load cell itself.
