9 Faster, Simplified,
Installation and Service
Pre-calibrated, Linearised and Temperature Compensated ZT Digital Load Cells Saves Installation Time On-Site.
Using the ZT Digital Load Cell makes the installation, cornering and calibration a lot faster and a simpler process because each ZT Digital Load Cell comes as standard pre-calibrated from our factory, resulting in quick & simple load cell replacement with minimum downtime.
All these factors combine to make the ZT Digital Load Cell an ideal choice for hard to reach locations like isolated quarry pits or tropical plantations.
ZT Digital Load Cell is Provided with Factory Assembled Rubber Gaiter Bellows and Pre-Greased Buttons Designed to Reduce Rotation.
The sealed rubber gaiter protects the load cell from harsh wet & dusty environments while the factory pre-greased load buttons ensure the correct type and amount of grease is applied and keep it free of any contamination.
The top and bottom rocker-column suspension load buttons are designed to improve point loading contact and accuracy and greatly reduce the cell rotation that can cause damage.
The Amphenol® Push Lock Connector System Simplifies the Cabling and Allows Each Load Cell to be Easily Isolated for Inspection.
The Amphenol LTW® X-LOK connectors make the connection of the ZT Digital Load Cells to the bus network a faster and error-free (no hand wiring required) operation, without the use of a junction box or termination plug.
This network topology allows the whole weighing system to be continuously monitored to prevent misuse or fraud attempts and makes each cell always accessible without having to interrupt the network.

10 The Platform Balancing Check Feature Maximises the Weighing Performance of Your Weighing System.
When installed to the manufacturer’s specifications, the ZT Digital Load Cells are fitted on level decks. To make sure that the decks are also standing on their static balance point correctly, this feature displays the dead load percentage on each cell before performing the calibration and ensures that the weighbridge has been installed level to maximise the weighing performance and accuracy.
The Ghosting Feature Helps to Keep Your Weighing System Functioning if a Load Cell is Faulty – Preventing Expensive Downtime.
The Ghosting feature detects a faulty weight sensor output, isolates the weight sensor, and replaces the faulty sensor output with a simulated replacement. It will allow the system to keep functioning in a limited capacity (non-trade mode only) until repairs can be made.
Multi-Platform Scale
The multi-platform scale feature allows each of the 32 ZT Digital Load Cells to be grouped on the network into independent platforms for a faster axle-vehicle weighing application.
Each scale can be easily configured and monitored via an Avery Weigh-Tronix ZM510/605/615 Series Indicator, making it the trusted choice for axle-weighing applications.
The Avery Weigh-Tronix ZM510 Indicator can support four scales and the ZM605/615 Indicator can support up to eight scales.

11. What is the “Weighbridge Balancing Check” feature?
To make sure that the decks are not only level but also standing on their static balance point, this feature displays the dead weight on each cell before performing the calibration.
If required, the ZT Digital Load Cell alignment can then be adjusted to evenly balance the platform dead weight and prevent any problems with repeatability and calibration errors.
12. What is the “Ghosting” feature?
Ghosting detects one faulty weight sensor output, isolates the weight sensor, and replaces the faulty sensor output with a simulated replacement. It can allow a scale to keep functioning in a limited capacity (not trade mode) until repairs can be made. The “Ghost” alert will pop up on the ZM510/605/615 screen and the “Non-Legal Weight” message will be printed on any tickets.
13. How accurate is the weighbridge in Ghosting mode?
The accuracy of a weighbridge working in Ghosting mode
depends on:
› The current mechanical conditions of the platform and last calibration date.
› The module design and number of active sensors.
› The load distribution of each truck axle (shaft) across the deck sections.
The specific accuracy achieved at a location can be confirmed on installation. For reference only, the tests conducted by Avery Weigh-Tronix demonstrate that, for a weighbridge of 1 or 4 sections (6 x 3 m and 3500 kg weight each), the accuracy of a uniformly distributed load may vary from ±4% to ±1% respectively.
14. What diagnostics specific to the ZT Digital Load Cells are available in the indicator diagnostics menus?
The parameters monitored are:
› Communication status
› Temperature
› Overloads counter and peak weight

15. What are the errors logged in the ZM510/605/615
Indicators internal database?
If the ZT Digital Load Cell detects an error, the following messages will be shown on the upper right of the indicator display.
The ZM log is a SQLite database file that can be accessed by the indicator application (Diagnostic Menu) and copied from the flash drive to another, like a FTP, USB memory stick or sent to a printer.
The errors logged are:
› Scale over/under load
› ZT cell over load
› Communication status
› Ghosting activation
16. What is the ZT Digital Load Cell IP rating?

substation without protection.
19. Is the ZT Digital Load Cell fraud-protected?
Yes, as part of the continuous monitoring diagnostic features, the ZT digital communication protocol is designed to
recognise only the ZT Digital Load Cells which serial number has been linked to a unique address generated by the
indicator. The watchdogs inside the indicator and each cell monitor the ZT network status contributing to prevent any attempt of fraud.
PROTECTIONS
PROGRAMMING
20. How is the ZT Digital Load cell protected from
mechanical shock and operating stress?
› The 2.35 mm thick stainless steel outer wall protects the internal elements (e.g. the eight strain gauges and 24-bit ADC) from accidental damage.
› The stainless steel aircraft-quality alloy column
guarantees a safe load limit 150% of the rated capacity and outstanding weighing performance (6 million

Design Features
Exclusive design features are what
make Avery Weigh-Tronix truck
scales #1 in the industry.
High-strength steel construction
We source the highest quality structural
steel from within North America. Automated
continuous welding provides extra strength and no
weak spots.
Steel surface protection
A detailed surface preparation and coating process protects the scale from the elements. Individual components are
shot-blasted, entire decks are sand-blasted and cleaned, then primed with a high solids urethane primer and finished with a tough, acrylic polyurethane top coat.
Low profile
14” height from baseplate to driving surface minimizes ramp requirements. Higher profile for additional clearance is easily accomplished with affordable base plate options.
No-bolt module connections
Simple hook & notch design allows quick, easy joining of the modules. Overall scale length is easily increased by adding modules.
Composite concrete design
Only the top half (5”) of the deck is poured, allowing
the concrete to stay in compression. Tension forces are handled by the high-strength steel structure below
the concrete. Fiber-mesh concrete is specified to
increase strength and resist cracking.
Factory welded studs bond the concrete
to the steel structure, eliminating
the need for costly and timeconsuming rebar.

Avery Weigh-Tronix, LLC
Weighing/Load Receiving Element / BMC and BMS Series
Application: General purpose vehicle weighing. Scales of two sections or more may be used to weigh livestock with 10lb divisions, where the minimum net load is at least 500d. Models with digital load cells are for vehicle weighing only.
Identification: The required information is on an identification plate riveted to the outside of the end module for above ground installations and on the inside of the end module for pit installations.
Sealing:
For analog load cell systems: The load cells and sections can be adjusted in the load cell junction boxes and can be sealed with a wire security seal threaded through two drilled nuts that secure the cover of the load cell junction box. Sealing may be necessary on more than one load cell junction box for scales with several modules. Module summing junction boxes have no adjustments that require the use of a security seal. The overall scale calibration can be sealed at the approved indicating element according to its provisions for sealing.
For digital load cell systems: There is no junction box or other way to change the calibration of the individual load cells. Overall scale calibration adjustments or replacing load cells in the system requires changes in the indicating element. Any of these changes would trigger an audit trail event and audit counter increment.
