Corner load balancing
With weighing machines, mechanical imbalance may lead to corner load
errors. According to the EN 45501 3.6.2 standard for non-automatic weighing
machines, specific values are to be maintained for eccentric loading. The
terminal boxes provide an easy way to compensate for these errors
electrically. A binary-stepped network of 4 resistors is available for each load
cell, that is shorted at the factory via 0 Ω resistors (see Fig. 5.1). Opening the
vertical 0 Ω resistors activates the relevant resistances and thus reduces the
load cell signal.
