“Getting unstable readings from your high-resolution scale? Chances are, it's not the scale, it’s the environment it's in.” When a scale is set to higher resolution, it becomes much more sensitive, not only to tiny changes in weight but also to the environment around it. That’s why you may see unstable readings or “drift,” which can be frustrating when using your scale. Here’s what often causes these issues and what should be done to fix them: Vibration Problem: Machinery, forklifts, or even foot traffic can send small vibrations into the scale and show up as weight fluctuations. Remedy: Place the scale on a solid foundation, a solid weighted bench top, use vibration-dampening pads, or relocate it away from heavy equipment and traffic. Air Drafts Problem: HVAC vents, open doors, or fans can create subtle air movement that the scale mistakes for weight change. Remedy: Shield the scale with draft enclosures, redirect airflow, or position the scale in a less exposed area. Electrical Interference Problem: Motors, wiring, or static discharge can introduce electromagnetic noise, disrupting the scale’s signal. Remedy: Ensure proper grounding, avoid running power cables near the scale, and use shielding if necessary. Remember: higher resolution = higher sensitivity. By controlling the scale environment, vibration, drafts, and electrical noise, you can unlock the precision your scale is designed to deliver. https://lnkd.in/g8Fe8uT9 #ScaleAccuracy #HighResolutionScales #QualityControl #ScaleTips #AccurateWeighing #WeighingChallenges #HighResolutionScaleTroubleshooting #BTEKScales #BTEKScalesLLC

XP1 Actuator Troubleshooting: Broken Cable Facing an issue with the 2597XP1 auto-calibrated actuator? It might be due to a broken cable. The actuator, renowned for its robust design, can encounter challenges in demanding environments like landfills, digestion facilities, or natural gas processing sites, where cables are prone to disruptions such as false contacts. In a scenario where the actuator remains powered but fails to respond to commands, the culprit could be a faulty cable. A simple jiggle might be all it takes to restore the command signal transmission to the actuator. Remember, even the most reliable systems can face setbacks in harsh operating conditions.

You can’t correct what you don’t measure. In every plant we visit, power factor and harmonics are often underestimated — yet they quietly drive up costs, reduce equipment lifespan, and create compliance headaches. That’s where the PEL113 Power & Energy Logger makes a difference. With its IP54 casing and hands-free installation, the PEL113 provides uninterrupted measurement inside electrical panels — recording everything from: • RMS voltage, current, and frequency, • Power values (VA, W, var), • Power Factor (cos φ, tan φ, crest factor), • Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) up to the 50th order, • Four-quadrant energy (Wh, varh, VAh), • Phase rotation and min/max indicators. All data is logged to the internal SD card with time/date stamps, making it easy to compare before vs. after performance improvements. At the same time, live values display on the backlit LCD or can be streamed via USB, Ethernet, or Bluetooth. At ElectroMechanica, we don’t just measure — we analyse your PEL113 data and provide recommendations for maximum energy savings and harmonic correction, ensuring your system runs efficiently and compliantly. 👉 Are you measuring before correcting — or correcting blind? #PowerQuality #PowerFactorCorrection #ElectroMechanica #PEL113 #Harmonics

New: FoxPressure 10m for tanks where remote tank monitoring was previously not possible. The high-end sensor is now available with a ten metres cable and comes with an advanced pressure probe that can be used to reliably detect levels up to a height of ten metres. These new features open up two additional fields of application: - Use on taller tanks: Precise measurements up to 10m level height - More flexible positioning: Place the transmitter unit at a greater distance from the tank, e.g. to optimise connectivity for underground tanks Start equipping tanks where traditional remote monitoring setups are constrained and benefit from (additional) data points in the field.
