How to Increase the Accuracy of an Axle-Weighing System
The weighing accuracy in axle-weighing mode is influenced by several factors:
• Type of weighing area: it must comply with the leveling conditions (
Section 2.1 on page 5
)
• Remove any unevenness between the axles by using the leveling modules or pit frames
• Vehicles with several axles close to each other require a surface that is leveled correctly
• Type of vehicle: vehicles with self-leveling suspensions can affect the weighing process; disable them if possible
• Transported load: the axle weighing process does not allow weighing vehicles that carry liquids
• If the system has been optimized for a direction of travel, using it in other direction might reduce the weighing accuracy
The Wheel Weigh Pad Will Bend When Loaded
The bending of the loaded weighing surface makes the operation of the load cells easier, thereby ensuring optimal weighing
accuracy. Before installing the platforms, always remove any dirt and debris from the floor under the platform.
The Keypad is Locked / The Platform Does Not Turn Off
Nothing can be entered if the automatic keypad lock function has been activated, including turning off the platform.
See
