Using an incorrect load weighing device in an elevator presents several significant risks that can compromise safety, performance, and code compliance. A load weighing device is a sensor system that measures the weight of the elevator car and its contents. This information is used by the elevator controller to regulate motor torque, door operation, and safety features. One major risk is compromised safety. An incorrect load weighing device may not accurately detect overloading.
