Decreasing-Load Test
This test ensures that the scanner/scale responds properly when a heavy
object is followed by a significantly smaller object.
1. Place a 30.0-pound load on the scale and verify that the display
shows between 29.99 and 30.01 pounds.
2. Remove weights to leave 20 pounds on the scale. Check that the
display shows between 19.99 and 20.01.
3. Remove another 15.0 pounds from the scale and check that the
scale reads 5.00 lb.
4. You have completed the Decreasing Load Test.
Return to Zero Test
This test ensures that, after all other tests have been completed success-
fully, the scanner/scale returns to zero. Remove all weights from the scale
and verify that the scale reads 0.00 lb.
After completing this test, close the calibration access cover and seal per
local Weights and Measures requirements. This final step must agree with
the legal requirements of your state or local government.
You have completed the calibration and verification process for weighing
in pounds.
If the scanner/scale passes all these tests,
1. Remove the weigh platter, install the calibration switch cover and
install a seal (if required).
2. Reinstall the weigh platter.
If the scanner/scale fails any of these tests, it should be serviced by a quali-
fied technician.
NOTE
If the upper weight limit for your scale is not set at 30 pounds, begin by plac-
ing weight equaling your upper limit setting.
