How can I determine the capacity of a load cell?

I am replacing a load cell on an existing scale and unable to read the label. Is there another way to figure out what the capacity of the load cell is?

How do I perform a C2® calibration on a HI 200DNWM?

What is the proper procedure for doing a C2® calibration to set the Cal Low and the Span (Cal High) on my HI 200DNWM? Do I need to use test weights for a C2® calibration? Also, can you provide a node address list to set the dip switches for the balance of address not shown in the small handouts?

How do you do a C2® calibration with live weight in the vessel?

I need to use the weight in my tank as a reference point and do a C2® calibration. How do I know that value is accurate if I suspect that my system is out of calibration in the first place?

Do you have programming examples from PLC-5 to HI 200DNWM?

Do you have any programming examples from PLC-5 to HI 200DNWM? Getting the weight into the PLC? Calibration from the PLC-5?

Which calibration method should I use?

There are four types of calibration, which include: 1. Hard Calibration Using Certified Weights 2. Hard Calibration Using Material Substitution 3. Hard Calibration Using Test Weights with Material Build 4. C2® Second Generation Calibration (Hardy Process Solutions instruments only) When should I use which method?

What are IP & NEMA ratings?

There are ratings associated with enclosures, such as IP and NEMA. What are these ratings and what do they mean?

How do I get an accurate reading on my conveyor scale?

How do I get an accurate reading on my conveyor scale? The approach I´m using right now is a photocell mounted on the small conveyor. When a box is detected by the photocell I capture the weight data from the PLC, but the data captured varies too much. If I stop the conveyor and I put a box on top of it I get the right weight. What should my WAVERSAVER and Averages settings be?

How can I verify proper grounding on my weighing system?

How important is a good grounding system on my scale? How can I verify I have a good ground?

How do I prevent shock loading on my scale?

One of our customers doesn't understand why their scale needs the load cell replaced on a regular basis. During a visit we noticed the customer dropping a 200 lb gas cylinder on the scale from a height of 4 to 6 inches. We informed the customer that this impact was damaging the load cells. Can you provide additional information about shock loading?
