The setup steps on the following pages involve placing a known load on
each sensor and adjusting the output down so each sensor has the same
output under the same load
The result of the setup will be a summed signal of all connected sensors
with the electrical output at the lowest sensor adjusted down to and will
reach its full electrical output change when all sensors are fully loaded
For example, four 100lbs sensors are adjusted to have the same 1 98mV/V
when100 lb is applied The final summed output will be 1 98mV/V at
400lbs, (100lbs on each sensor)
For amplified versions, voltage, or current, an extra step will be needed
to set up the amplifier using the final summed signal that will go into the
amplifier In the above example, it would mean setting up an amplifier to a
sensor with 1 98mV/V output at its fully loaded 400lb capacity
