We get lots of questions on how to set up weight measurement systems with multiple load cells. To simulate a common weight measurement system, watch David explain and set up a system comprising of 2 single point load cells, a junction box, and a load cell meter.

Firstly we’ll take you through the wiring of the load cells, summing box and meter, followed by load cell/ junction boxset up and adjustment, and finally configuration and scaling the load cell meter.

David from Omega walks you through how to connect a load cell to Omega’s Platinum Meter.

Here’s what you need to know to choose the right load cell:

A load cell is a transducer which converts force into measurable electrical output. Although there are many varieties of load cells, strain gage based load cells are the most commonly used type.

Except for certain laboratories where precision mechanical balances are still used, strain gage load cells dominate the weighing industry. Pneumatic load cells are sometimes used where intrinsic safety and hygiene are desired, and hydraulic load cells are considered in remote locations, as they do not require a power supply. Strain gage load cells offer accuracies from within 0.03% to 0.25% full scale and are suitable for almost all industrial applications.
