LCT-U
ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC LOAD
CELL TESTER

The advanced Load Cell Tester Model LCT-U is a stand-alone hand-held device specially designed for fast,
comprehensive troubleshooting of strain gauge load cells. The LCT-U can quickly diagnose problems with all
common types of load cell available today, including 6-wire load cells (with sense wires).
The LCT-U provides the operator with all the essential data about the load-cell being tested, including the bridge
resistance and integrity, physical distortion (possibly caused by overload, shock load or metal fatigue) and
insulation resistance (which can highlight moisture or chemical ingress).
■t Fast, accurate testing of load cells and scales –
full test complete within 5 seconds

■t Continuous signal reading allows for checking of
linearity and repeatability

■t Very user friendly – pin assignment is printed on
front of tester

■t Can check for physical distortion of a load cell

■t Coloured LEDs highlight suspicious readings
■t Can check alignment of multiple load cell scales
■t Operated by standard batteries for portability

■t Works with 4-wire or 6-wire load cells
■t Rugged ABS enclosure and rubber cover
■t Lightweight
■t Ideal tool for installation/commissioning engineers
