A load indicator bar alerts the operator to how much load
has been applied to the transducer. As the load approaches
the maximum rating of the transducer, the indicator bar
changes appearance when above approx. 80% of the rated
capacity. This warns the operator that steps should be taken
to prevent excessive load being applied.
For tensile forces the indicator bar is solid then dotted. For
compressive forces the indicator bar is dotted then solid – see
Figure 2b.

If the AFG has suffered a serious
overload condition, the load
indicator bar will be partially
displayed even when no load is
present. This is a warning that
the load cell is damaged and
you should immediately contact
your supplier to arrange repair.
