Balancing the load cells

 

Cubiscan 325 Service Manual   

   

  2 5

12. When all four corners read approximately the same 

weight, the load cells are balanced.

13. Replace the load cell summing box lid and screw it 

into place. 

14. Slide the center cover back into place and tighten 

the thumb screws.

15. When everything has been replaced and the load 

cells have been balanced, you need to recalibrate 
the scale. For instructions on calibrating the scale, 
see 

“Scale Calibration” on page 13
