F. Verify Individual Load Sensor Millivolt Output readings
Testing an individual load sensor output requires an IT summing card or Millivolt meter
with two decimal place resolution.To determine the sensitivity and parameters for your load
sensor, use the load sensor certificate or read the C2 chip with the utility found under the
Diagnostic menu.
Example: A 3mV/V Load sensor produces approximately 3.0000 mV/V at rated load. If
the scale capacity is 1,000 lbs with 100 lbs of deadload, when empty the load point mV/V
reading should measure 0.3000 mV/V. This number can be converted to mV by multiplying
the mV/V results by 5. (5V excitation)
