The data acquisition scales
are set incorrectly.

Check that the data acquisition scales are set
correctly. The full scale calibration range is
shown on the Calibration Report, with 10 V =
Full Scale (unless you requested custom
calibration output before calibration at MTS).

With the TI turned on and all cables from the
SWIFT transducer to TI connected, use a
handheld DVM to check the output on
individual channels while they are being loaded
to make sure that the output at the TI box and
data acquisition correlate. (Use the BNC
connectors located at the back panel of the TI.)

The transducer was zeroed
with load applied (or a
different load than the
intended tare weight for
non-spinning applications
only).

Rezero the TI, being careful not to touch or load
the transducer during the zeroing procedure.

A zero offset is present in
the data.

See Zero Offset on the previous pages of this
Troubleshooting Guide.
