1.11 LOAD CELL DIAGNOSTICS
There are several things that can be checked to diagnose load cell issues.
1.11.1 INSTRUMENT DIAGNOSTICS
1.11.1.1 In “Diagnostics – Loadcell Interfaces” is there a voltage and weight reading?
YES & Wrong – It could be the angle sensor or loadcells – 1.11.1.2
NO – It could be an issue with the loadcells or the CAN communication - 1.11.1.2
1.11.1.2 Is there an angle reading in “Diagnostics – Angle Sensor”?
YES & Correct – It is likely to be a problem with the load cells – 1.11.3

NO – It is likely there is a problem with the general CAN communication – 1.11.2
1.11.2 CAN DIAGNOSTICS
1.11.2.1 Open the Loadcell Interface and check if there is a constant green power light.
YES – Power supply is correct – 1.11.2.2
NO – No Power – 1.11.2.3
1.11.2.2 Check if the red CAN communication light is flashing (just above green power light)
