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 junction 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. 6.1). Opening the
vertical 0 Ω resistors activates the relevant resistances and thus reduces the
load cell signal.

Opening the equipment while in operation is only permissible in the case of
the "intrinsic safety" type of protection. In the case of other types of protection,
a Hot Work Permit from the operator's side is required for work on the
equipment.
