3.5 Removing/Replacing the Load Cell
A Load Cell that is even slightly bent or corroded should be replaced. The Load Cell may also need
to be replaced because of instability, or because the scale does not calibrate or repeat.
Note:
The
Load Cell is supplied as an assembled unit. (See Chapter 5.)
1. Carefully cut off the hot melt glue. Unsolder the cable leads connecting the Load Cell to the
PCB. (See Figure 3-3 or Figure3-4.)
2. Remove the bolts that hold the Load Cell Frame to the Load Cell. Use a high-leverage socket
wrench (10mm). (The bolts are tightened to about 10 Nm torque.)

to the Load Cell.
Note:
There are one or several shim between the Load Cell Frame and the Load Cell. Be
careful not to lose it.
3. Turn the scale over and remove the bolts and washers that hold the Load Cell to the Bottom
Housing.
