ARE YOUR LOAD CELLS EXPOSED TO WATER?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells provide many layers of protection against damage from water and debris. The SmartCell\u2019s construction, placement, and ingress-blocking technology keep water and grime from damaging the load cells.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 As part of the axis\u00ae frictionless centering system that is provided, SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells are moved from an exposed area near the ground or beneath the deck to a<br \/> placement above the bottom of the deck. Generally, most failures that are associated with debris and sediment build-up happen at the base of the truck scale near ground level, which greatly contributes to corrosion. SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells are given<br \/> an extra layer of protection against the filth that typically accumulates under truck scales by being situated much higher in the scale weighbridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022 The orientation of the SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells in their load cell stand also provides the added bonus of selfcleaning. SmartCell\u00ae load cells rest on top of a cup-and-ball system that grinds up sediment and pollutants that might settle in the receiver<br \/> cup from day-to-day operations. Normally this accumulation of pollutants would be left<br \/> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcarolinascale.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/23\/common-issues-found-on-tanks-with-load-cells-for-weighing\/\">build up and cause issues with load cell<\/a> integrity or might cause inaccurate readings, but this self-cleaning feature can help protect the load cell modules from incorrect weighing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 If, by chance, water levels rise high enough to expose SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells to moisture, their rating provides the highest level of protection afforded: IP69K. Their stainless steel casing and potting-filled cell body prevents water from entering the load<br \/> cell and damaging valuable digital components that transmit weighing information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> \u2022 SmartCell\u00ae load cell cables are also placed above the load cell housing to keep wiring clear of exposure to sediment and water. Load cell cables include rat-proofing protection from nibbling rodents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SmartCell\u00ae digital load cells provide many layers of protection against damage from water and debris.
