Wiring Connections
Connect the load cell cable to an indicator using the wiring codes in Table 1 below. Refer to the indicator manual for information

TABLE 1. SIX WIRE LOAD CELL CONNECTION.
Selecting the Location
To ensure accuracy, proper performance and safety, locate and operate the base on a stable, level surface. Avoid locations with
rapid temperature changes or excessive dust, air currents, vibrations, electromagnetic fields or heat.
Level the base by adjusting the four leveling feet until the bubble in the level indicator (located at the rear of the base) is centered.
A wrench may be needed to loosen the locking nut above each leveling foot. When the base is level, retighten the locking nuts
up against the base to lock each foot into place.

Damp cloth with water and a mild detergent may be used to wipe clean the external surfaces—do not use acids,
alkalis, strong solvents or abrasive materials and chemicals

Unstable environments
Incorrect calibration or setup of the indicator
