Conveyor Belt Scale
Product Manual
D. Scale Calibration
Navigate to Main Menu > Calibration
i. Perform Length and Zero (if not completed during the setup wizard)
The Length and Zero measures the belt length and weight of the empty belt
.
It must be run once at startup and whenever the belt length changes significantly.
Navigate to
Calibration > Belt Length Cal > Length & Zero
and follow instructions.
If the belt length is less than 60ft and the belt speed is more than 400 fpm, we suggest using a
longer Belt length value in the scale. This will improve the stability of the Zero Calibration.
Simply allow the belt to run 2 or 3 revolutions during the Length and Zero procedure.
ii.
Perform Zero Calibration from Keypad
The Zero Calibration weighs one revolution of the empty belt and
calculates a new zero weight. Start the belt running empty and
press the Zero Calibration button on the keypad.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
▪
The Zero Calibration should be performed at least once per day.
▪
It can be repeated multiple times until the accumulated weight hovers up and down slightly
with the belt running empty.
▪
The zero calibration should be performed whenever the conveyor is moved
▪
Scales on transloaders should be calibrated before every truckload.
