Combined Error

The sum of  linearity, repeteability and hysteresis.

Creep

The variation in load cell output with time after loading from zero to a constant load.

Eccentric Load

Load applied to a load cell displaced from the normal axis.

Excitation

The voltage used to excite the load cell.

Hysteresis

The difference in load cell output at the same load value, between increasing and decreasing load.

Insulation Resistance

Insulation Resistance is the resistance between each cable core (including screen) and local structural earth.

Linearity

The output deviation at intermediate loads from a straight line drawn between zero load and full load outputs.

Overload Limit

Load cells are specified to resists loads beyond rated capacity without permanent zero shift typically up to 150% of rated capacity.

Senses, Six Wire Circuit

An additional pair of wires which are use to mantain a constant supply to the load cells, to remove the errors from long cable lenghts or varying cable temperatures.

Repeatibility

The difference in load cell output with successive load cycling to the same load.

Sensitivity mV/V

The output of load cell in milivolts (mV) per volt (V) of excitation at the rated load.

Span Drift

Variation in weight measurement with temperature or time at maximum live load.

Zero Drift

Variation in weight measurement with temperature or time, at zero live load.
