3.3.3
SETTING THE CAL WEIGHT
Instead of entering a Cal Number, you may alternatively enter a Cal Weight. However, in order to use
the Cal Weight option, the truck must be carrying a known weight. The meter will then use the Cal
Weight and the Tare Weight to compute a Cal Number for you.
To use this method of calibration, load the truck to near maximum, then drive to a certified platform
scale and weigh each channel’s axle group. With the truck on the platform scale, enter the platform
scale’s reading as the Cal Weight for that channel, using the procedure below.
Note:
The displayed Cal Weight is “live”. That is, it will change as the weight changes or the truck
shifts. Each time you change the displayed weight using one of the
UP or DOWN ARROW
buttons,
a new Cal Number is computed and then used to calculate the displayed weight.
