LCT100 Load Cell Tester
ANYLOAD LCT100 Load Cell Tester is a stand-alone hand-held device that was specially designed for full troubleshooting of strain-gage based load cells. The LCT100 is equipped with the following features and functions:
- Can check all common types of standard load cells that are available in the market ( 4 or 6 wires at all rated gain output )
- Provides the user with all essential data needed about the tested load cell: Bridge resistance and integrity, physical distortion and can check insulation resistance
- Can be used to check multi load-cell scale alignment
- Continuous signal reading allows checking linearity and repeatability
- Very user friendly, full test within seconds
- Enclosure material: ABS
- Battery supply: 4 AA batteries
In order to properly check a load cell or a scale, the following tests and equipment are required:
| Required Test | Needed Equipment |
| Bridge resistance and cable integrity | DVM (Digital Voltmeter) |
| Insulation to detect moisture ingress | Megger tester to check up to 5000 Mega Ohms resistance |
| Zero balance to point on physical distortion or metal fatigue | 5.5 Digits DVM + Power Supply + Calculator |
| Linearity | 5.5 Digits DVM + Power Supply + Calculator |
And, a skilled technician to do all required calculations.
All required tests can now be easily conducted and finished in less than a minute with the Load Cell Tester-LCT100.
