Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting CHAPTER 6 - TROUBLESHOOTING A Brief Description of Chapter 6 Chapter 6 provides instructions on how to use Hardy Instruments INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN™ to perform various tests for fault isolation troubleshooting of the load cells in your weighing system. INTEGRATED TECHNICIAN used in conjunction with the HI 2215IT Junction Box can tell you which load cell is not functioning properly, thereby eliminating the necessity of having to physically go to the load cell for testing.
HI WS100 CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE the instrument, HI WS100 automatically loads the number of C2 load cells that are incorporated in your weight system. The number will automatically display in the Number of Sensors field. Having the HI 215IT Junction Box enables the configuration software to list the test results for each individual load cell in your weighing system.
Chapter 6 - Troubleshooting give a combined fail result but not for the specific load cell that failed. You will still have to determine which Load Cell failed. 2. Return to Zero Test (RTZ) - This test returns a pass/fail result on whether there is a zero load. • • 3. Digital Volt Meter (DVM) - This test returns the voltage outputs from the load cells. • • 4. If you have an HI 215IT Junction Box, individual load cells can be tested.
