FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. LSB200 MANUAL PREFACE For specifications, dimension, and capacities, please refer to the LSB200 spec sheet: http://www.futek.com/files/pdf/Product%20Drawings/lsb200.pdf PRECAUTIONS Remove the shunt before applying any load. Make sure the cover is not touching the measuring end of the load cell. Install the LSB200 in a dry, clean environment for optimum performance and to prevent short circuiting the sensor.
FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. LSB200 MANUAL INSTALLATION GUIDE When handling the sensor, do not pinch the ends where the load is applied. When installing the sensor, connect it to an instrument and monitor the output to prevent possible overload. OK Do not apply excessive torque or create a torque through the sensor when attaching the fixtures. In an environment with a high amount of moisture or humidity, create a drip loop on the cable to prevent any water from flowing into the sensor.
FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. LSB200 MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE NO OUTPUT If there is no output or the output isn’t changing when applying a load, check the following points to troubleshoot the sensor. WC1: Standard 4-Wire Is the sensor wired properly? Make sure the power is applied between red and black, and the signal is measured between green and white.
FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. LSB200 MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE INCORRECT OUTPUT If the output of the sensor is incorrect when applying a known load, check the following points to troubleshoot the sensor. Is there any sign of damage to the load cell? Any damage to the load cell can lead to an incorrect output or even no output at all. Carefully check the load cell to make sure no damage has been done.
FUTEK ADVANCED SENSOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. LSB200 MANUAL TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE INCORRECT OUTPUT If the output of the sensor is incorrect when applying a known load, check the following points to troubleshoot the sensor. Has the wiring and power to the sensor been confirmed? Check to ensure the sensor wiring pattern from page 4 has been observed and that power is on to the sensor. It can be helpful to confirm the power supply to the sensor with an instrument such as a multi-meter.
