FINE TUNING THE CALIBRATION NUMBER FOR GROSS
VEHICLE WEIGHT AND NET PAYLOAD WEIGHT METHODS WHEN
MORE THAN ONE CHANNEL IS USED PER TRUCK OR TRAILER
To properly calibrate a V600 system, all channels used need to be calibrated. Listed below is a
calibration procedure for the Gross Vehicle Weight and Net Payload Weight Methods when more than
one channel is used per truck or trailer and the channels do not directly represent axle group weights.
If additional assistance is needed to fine tune your scale system, please follow the instructions shown
in Section 7.3 “Assistance in Fine Tuning Your Scale System.”
Note:
When fine tuning a trailer with
the load cells positioned over an axle group, refer to section 4.4 for fine tuning the Calibration number.
