Certificate  information  includes  tabulated  measurement 
variable  data  zero  balance,  bridge  input/output  resistance, 
computer  nonlinearity  and  hysteresis,  static  error  band  (SEB) 
calculations and entries abilities and traceability statements. 

If an initial evaluation shows that a transducer requires repair, 
PCB will provide the customer with an estimate prior to taking 
any corrective action. 
 

12.1 RMA / Purchase Order 

Please  request  a  return  material  authorization  (RMA)  before 
sending  a  load  cell  back  to  the  factory  for  any  reason.  For 
calibration  services,  if  possible,  a  copy  of  the  purchase  order 
covering  the  requested  services  should  be  included  with  the 
returned load cell. 

 

13.0 WARRANTY 

 
Standard  warranty  on  dual  bridge  load  cells  covers  parts  and 
workmanship.    For  full  details,  refer  to  the  Warranty 
Statement supplied with each load cell. 
  
If  the  load  cell  is  defective  for  reasons  other  than  overloads, 
return  it  to  the  factory  for  detailed  evaluation.  Factory 
evaluation  may  show  that  the  load  cell  is  repairable  or  non-
repairable and if repair or replacement will be under warranty. 
If not under warranty, the customer will be contacted with the 
cost  of  repairs  and  recalibration.  Once  authorization  to 
proceed is received, a delivery date will be provided.
