If you suspect that your ALC loadcell or ‘Smart’ sensor has
sustained an overload it is possible to check the status of the
sensor immediately.
Symptoms of overload may be (a) OL in display (b) buzzer
sound (c) probe not aligned perpendicularly to gauge (d)
load indicator bar present even under zero load.
See CALIBRATION section of Advanced Menu Options on
