2. Verify that the display shows a dash and three hyphens (_ - - -).
This is the overweight indication.
NOTE
The scanner/scale may blank (show an underscore and three hyphens)
at any weight greater than its upper weight limit, but must blank when
the upper weight limit plus 0.051 pounds are set upon the weighing sur-
face.
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.
NOTE
If the upper weight limit for your scale is set to other than 30 pounds,
begin by placing weight equaling your upper limit setting.
2. Remove enough weights to leave 20 pounds on the scale. Check
that the display shows between 19.99 and 20.01.
3. Remove 8.0 pounds and verify the display reads between 11.995
and 12.01 pounds.
4. Remove 4.0 pounds and verify the display reads between 7.995
and 8.005 pounds.
5. Remove another 6.0 pounds from the scale and check that the
scale reads 2 lbs.
