5 Maintenance
To ensure that your weighing module remains reliable, accurate, and functional for many years to
come, the individual components must be cleaned and maintained periodically as appropriate for the
intensity of use and the risk of contamination with debris.
5.1 Cleaning the weigh module
Clean the weighing pan and the load cell housing regularly with a damp cloth. The electronic unit
and terminal can also be cleaned in this fashion as needed. For tougher dirt, a mild household
cleaner may be used. Make sure that no liquid penetrates inside the components!
Please observe the following notes:
You can also clean the load cell using a low-pressure hand
sprayer. Before using a sprayer:
1 Remove the weighing pan and the wind ring and seal off the
weighing pan retainer with the white plastic cover (1).
2 Make sure that the cover locks on properly!
3 Screw the connector cable to the electronic unit on.
4 Ensure that the jack (2) is sealed.
ð Under these conditions, the load cell meets IP45
requirements.
5 Dry the load cell it off with a soft cloth.
Note
The sealing function of the plastic cover may deteriorate over time
with frequent use. Check the condition of the cover before you use it.
If necessary, a new cover can be ordered as a replacement part see
Spare Parts in the separate Installation Manual.
5.2 Cleaning the wind shield (WXTS3DU)
1 Open the left and the right wind shield door and remove the base plate protection from the wind
shield.
2 Remove the top glass.
3 Use a soft cloth to clean the parts of the wind shield housing.
