Load cell cables can be cut to tidy the installation. However, it is advisable to ensure that each load cell in the system has cables of similar length. This helps maintain uniform load cell sensitivities and prevents potential cornering issues.

No. Each load cell in a weighing system should have the same capacity. Using load cells of different capacities will result in varied outputs among the load cells, causing weighing errors.

The calibration frequency will depend on your system and application; also, on your ISO requirements, if any. As a standard the calibration is carried out once a year, with more frequent checks on systems and more often recalibration if necessary.

Yes, Filtering is applicable for both display values and analogue values.
