5 Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Dry Cleaning
Use a damp cloth to clean the counterforce of the load cell.
•
Keep the area between the weighing platform and the upper part of the counterforce clean to ensure
•
perfect operation of the load cell.
High Pressure Water Jets
Due to the hermetic sealing (IP68/69K) of the load cell, cleaning can be done with high pressure water
•
jets.
Chemical Cleaning Agents
Due to the stainless steel counterforce (17-4 PH), the load cells are resistant against the chemicals in
•
the most widely used chemical cleaning agents.
The chemical resistance of the counterforce material has to be checked against the used chemical agent
•
before starting with the cleaning process.
Important Steps after Cleaning
Wait until the load cell cools down back to the operating temperature range.
•
After this phase is over, dry clean the surface.
•
Before starting with the weight measurements, perform an adjustment with an external weight and check
•
the weighing function of the load cell.

5.2 Calibration and Adjustment

As your load cell is a precision measuring instrument, periodic maintenance is a prerequisite for perfect
operation. The maintenance intervals depend on usage, ambient and environmental conditions.
Maintenance work may only be performed by a METTLER TOLEDO service technician.
Checking the weighing performance
The precision of the load cell is normally monitored by the test function. It is recommended, that the
linearity, repeatability and other key figures of the load cell are checked by a METTLER TOLEDO service
technician.
