6.1 

Weight Calibration

Accurate  results  from  the  Weighlog can  only  be  achieved  if  the  calibration

procedure has been carried out carefully and in the correct sequence. 
You  must  set  the  zero  weight  of  the  empty  bucket/forks/trailer  and  a  weight

calibration factor, for each channel to be used.
The  calibration  factor  is  an  arbitrary  number  relating  the  hydraulic  pressure

(or strain measurement) in the lift system to the load in the bucket. This factor

must  be  set  independently  for  each  vehicle,  attachment  or  trailer  and  each

channel of the Weighlog.
