sensors requires 10-30 vdc, want to use external power supply but not sure

But is it unlikely then the problem is that 9 volts provided by the battery I am using are not enough for the sensor to work properly?

I am not excited about using a power supply with my project because I will be using it on my ranch "off the grid", so maybe I should skip this idea and try other things. But the manual reads: An external power supply delivering 10-30 VDC with minimum current capability of 40 mA DC (per transmitter) is required to power the control loop, I wanted to try it to see if finally I can get usable results.

I tried for several days to smooth the signal with some ingenious sampling, but the sensor is failing to provide consistent results on very simple experiments like weighing the same object two times in a row. If the battery does not suppose a problem then I will try to bleed the air out of the hydrualic jacks again, or redo my circuit to see if something comes up

Thanks!
