The Nobel Elektonik KIM‑1‑200KN is a high‑capacity strain‑gauge load cell designed for process weighing in silos, tanks and conveyor systems. Common failures include loss of signal or drift due to temperature cycling, corrosion of the mounting interface, or damage to the internal gauge wires from excessive lateral forces; electrical insulation breakdown can also cause intermittent readings. First‑check steps: verify that the power supply voltage is within ±5 % of the specified range and confirm continuity on the excitation leads; inspect the mounting flange for cracks or rust and visually examine the strain‑gauge wiring for frayed conductors; finally, read any error codes from the connected PLC or HMI to rule out communication faults.[oss-gpt-20b]
