Troubleshooting B-Tek Digital Load Cells

TROUBLESHOOTING B-TEK DIGITAL LOAD CELLS

1) if there is a error code present on display Press Left arrow key (user menu key) bring up user menu and there will be a #10 present (DIAGNOSTIC) (if there is a error code)

Select that – That screen shows – serial numbers of load cells present

(in cell) in terminal address 1 “ “ “ 1-32 addressed load cells 2 “ “ “ 33-127 factory defaulted 3 “ “ “ load cell 4 “ “ “ 128 no connection 5 “ “ “ 6 “ “ “ 7 “ “ “ 8 “ “ “

2) if the first column doesn’t show serial # and reads “no connection” (check wiring or connections in J-Box)

3) readout talks to cells on RS485 loop, if loop is broken from bad cable or cell it will not talk to anything past the first one its not talking too.

Example : If screen shows no connection from cell #6, #7, #8 (#6 is first cell its not talking to). Omit #6 from system in J-Box install #8 in #6 hole and install current loop terminator in #8 hole in J-Box and see if it reads #7/#8 serial #, if it does check cell #6 cable and/or cell- if it doesn’t read 7 & 8 may have more than 1 cell/cable bad.
