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 weights that total 15.8 kilograms.
2. Remove weights to leave 10 kilograms on the scale and verify that
the display shows between 9.990 and 10.010 kilograms.
3. Remove an additional 9.00 kilograms from the scale and check
that the scale reads 1.000 kg.
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. Without any weight on the weigh
platter, verify that the scale reads 0.000 kg.
You have completed the calibration and verification process for weighing
in kilograms.
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 15 kilograms, begin by
placing weight equaling your upper limit setting plus 0.
8 kilograms.
