NOTE: The Hanger is part of the calibrated weight set, and it has a calibrated weight value.
This weight must be included as part of the total weight applied to the load cell.
Attach the desired weight to the Hanger and record the load value from the display. Multiple weights
may be attached to the Hanger to achieve a range of test points.
Do not apply excessive upward, downward or sideways force to the Hanger Mount or
Hanger while adding or removing weight. This may damage the sensing mechanism
of the CT3.
As successive weights are added, the CT3 will show the total weight, which should be within the
