mV/V  

DC voltage signals are between 0-15 millivolts. Overloads and negative millivolt 
readings are not shown as actual readings but 15.3 for over voltage and 0.0 for negative 
voltage. You will need to use a multimeter with a 200 or 300 mVDC range to view the 
out-of-range voltages.  Millivolt/volt equals the output from a load cell per each volt of 
excitation. The HI 1756-FC reads the load cell output in mV/V, which provides higher 
resolution (4 decimal places) than an mV reading. This provides more sensitivity to help 
you troubleshoot the condition of the load cell under certain conditions. Load cells are 
rated in millivolts/volts.  To convert to mV, multiply the mV/V times the sense voltage. 

IT Test 

If your system has an Integrated Technician Summing Junction box, the IT test can help 
identify individual load cell problems up to a maximum of four load cell selections. 

Sensor Number 

Indicates which sensor is under test. Select the target sensor to be tested. 

Warning 

Do not install your HI 215IT summing board in areas susceptible to high vibrations. The 
relays on the board can chatter and affect your weight readings and the vibration can 
crystallize the solder joints.
