2. Key Features

• High Weighing Precision: OIML III accuracy class and ≤±0.02% non-linearity ensure reliable weight data for critical applications (e.g., food ingredient batching, chemical dosing)—avoids product waste or quality issues from measurement errors.
• Shear Beam Design: Single-ended shear beam construction minimizes sensitivity to lateral forces (≤0.05% RC error from side loads) and angular misalignment—ideal for installations where load centering is challenging (e.g., conveyor belts, asymmetrical tanks).
• Temperature Stability: Low zero/sensitivity drift (≤±0.002% RC/℃) reduces temperature-induced errors, ensuring consistent accuracy in environments with variable temperatures (e.g., bakery ovens, cold storage facilities).
• Industrial-Grade Durability: IP67 protection and 304 stainless steel construction withstand dust, moisture, and mild chemical exposure—suitable for harsh industrial settings (e.g., wastewater treatment, chemical blending).
• Standardized Output: 2.0 mV/V sensitivity and 350Ω impedance ensure compatibility with ABB weighing indicators (CI854) and third-party PLCs—eliminates the need for signal converters, simplifying system integration.
• Overload Protection: 150% sustained/300% peak overload capacity prevents damage from accidental material surges (e.g., overfilling tanks, conveyor jams)—extends service life in high-demand applications.
• Hygienic Option: 316L stainless steel variant meets FDA 21 CFR Part 177 standards, making it suitable for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing—resists corrosion from cleaning agents (e.g., caustic soda).

3. Application Fields

• Industrial Batching & Dosing: Primary application—precision weight control in ingredient mixing:
  • Food Processing: Measures flour, sugar, or additives (0~200 kg) in bakery or confectionery batching systems; 316L option withstands daily washdowns with food-safe cleaners, ensuring compliance with hygiene standards (e.g., HACCP).
  • Chemical Manufacturing: Doses powdered or granular chemicals (0~500 kg) in fertilizer or detergent production; temperature stability (-20℃~+80℃) maintains accuracy in heated/cooled mixing vessels.
• Tank & Silo Weighing: Monitors inventory in storage systems:
  • Plastic Pellet Storage: Weighs plastic pellets (0~500 kg) in small silos for injection molding lines; IP67 protection resists dust ingress, while shear beam design tolerates minor silo vibration.
  • Water Treatment Tanks: Measures sludge or chemical solution weight (0~100 kg) in treatment tanks; waterproof construction withstands splashes and damp conditions, ensuring reliable inventory tracking.
• Conveyor & Dynamic Weighing: Tracks weight in motion:
  • Packaging Lines: Performs low-speed dynamic weighing (≤0.5 m/s) of packaged goods (0~50 kg) on conveyors; shear beam design minimizes errors from belt vibration, ensuring accurate product labeling (e.g., weight-based pricing).
  • Recycling Facilities: Weighs recyclable materials (0~200 kg) on small conveyors; robust construction withstands impact from rigid materials (e.g., plastic bottles, metal cans).
• Quality Control & Testing: Ensures product weight compliance:
  • Pharmaceutical Packaging: Verifies the weight of pill bottles or blister packs (0~5 kg) during quality checks; high precision (≤±0.02% RC) meets strict pharmaceutical standards for dose accuracy.
  • Automotive Component Testing: Measures the weight of small automotive parts (0~100 kg) to ensure manufacturing consistency; temperature stability avoids errors in climate-controlled test labs.

4. Precautions

• Weight Range Compatibility: Select the correct measurement range (e.g., 0~100 kg for small tanks, 0~500 kg for batching) to avoid overloading or reduced accuracy—using a 500 kg load cell for 10 kg measurements wastes precision (±0.02% of 500 kg = ±0.1 kg error vs. ±0.002 kg for 10 kg).
• Mounting Requirements (Critical):
  • Flat & Rigid Surface: Mount on a perfectly flat, rigid surface (e.g., steel plate) to avoid shear beam bending or lateral forces—uneven surfaces cause up to ±0.5% RC measurement error.
  • Torque Specifications: Tighten mounting screws to 12 N·m (M8); under-tightening causes movement, while over-tightening damages the load cell body—use a torque wrench for accuracy.
  • Avoid Lateral Loads: Use guide rods or centering devices to prevent side loads (e.g., from tank sway); lateral forces exceeding 10% RC permanently damage the shear beam, voiding the warranty.
• Electrical Wiring:
  • Shielded Cable: Use the integrated shielded cable (or compatible 4-core shielded cable) to prevent EMI interference from nearby motors/VFDs—unshielded cables cause signal noise, leading to weight fluctuations (±0.1% RC).
  • Polarity & Connections: Connect cables correctly (red=excitation+, black=excitation-, green=signal+, white=signal-); reverse excitation polarity does not damage the load cell but stops output, while reversed signal wires invert weight readings.
  • Cable Length: Do not extend the cable beyond 10m (optional 10m cable) without a signal conditioner—longer cables increase resistance, reducing excitation voltage and output signal strength.
• Calibration & Maintenance:
  • Initial Calibration: Calibrate with certified weights (traceable to national standards) after installation; use ABB Weighing Software or CI854 indicator for calibration—uncalibrated load cells have ±0.1% RC default error.
  • Periodic Recalibration: Recalibrate every 6~12 months (or after overload events); frequency depends on usage (e.g., monthly for high-cycle batching, annually for static tank weighing).
  • Cleaning: Clean the load plate with a soft, damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners (e.g., steel wool) that scratch stainless steel—scratches trap debris, leading to false weight readings.
• Environmental Protection:
  • Temperature Limits: Do not operate below -20℃ or above +80℃—low temperatures increase cable resistance, while high temperatures degrade the strain gauge adhesive, causing permanent zero drift.
  • Moisture & Chemicals: For IP67 models, avoid prolonged submersion (>1m depth, 30min); use IP68 models for submersible applications (e.g., underwater weighing). For chemical exposure, select 316L stainless steel to resist corrosion from acids/alkalis.
• Overload Prevention:
  • Install Load Limits: Use mechanical stops or software limits (via PLC) to prevent exceeding 150% RC—sustained overload (>150% RC) damages the strain gauge, requiring full load cell replacement.
  • Shock Avoidance: Use rubber buffers for dynamic applications (e.g., conveyor weighing) to absorb impact from falling materials—shock loads (>300% RC) crack the shear beam, rendering the load cell inoperable
