Can I disconnect the power while there is a vehicle on the truck scale?

When there are vehicles on the truck scale, the power should not be cut off. The working principle of a truck scale relies on the normal operation of multiple components such as sensors, data acquisition systems, and control systems, all of which require continuous power supply to ensure accurate measurement and recording of data. If there is a sudden power outage when the vehicle is parked on the weighing platform, it will first cause the weighing data to be unable to be recorded or saved in real time, affecting accuracy. More seriously, sudden power outages may interrupt the ongoing weighing process, resulting in incomplete or incorrect results.
In some high-end truck scale systems, weighing data is usually collected through electronic sensors and stored in the control system. If the system loses power, unsaved data will be lost and may need to be re weighed. At the same time, the control system is unable to perform subsequent operations such as automatically generating reports, transmitting data, or synchronizing data with other management systems (such as ERP systems or warehouse management systems).
In addition, sudden power outages may also cause damage to the hardware facilities of the truck scale. Many modern car scales are equipped with precision sensors and electronic components that require a stable power supply to function properly. Frequent power outages or fluctuations may cause damage to these sensitive devices and shorten their lifespan.
If the power outage occurs after the vehicle has passed through the weighing platform, it may affect the automatic reset or calibration process of the scale body, and affect the weighing accuracy of subsequent vehicles. Therefore, car scales are usually equipped with backup power sources or UPS (uninterruptible power supply) systems to ensure continuous operation in the event of power outages, avoiding data loss or equipment damage.
