Chapter 2
Initializing the Micro-Tech
This chapter tells you how to start up your Micro-Tech, initialize its
software, and get your Micro-Tech and its associated scale up and
running. As part of the initialization process you will perform a belt-
length test and, once this is done, do the initial zero and span calibrations
of the scale. Your Micro-Tech is then ready to go into operation.
There are five basic steps in the initialization process, as follows.

Determine the correct “belt-scale code” of the conveyor scale the
Micro-Tech is working with.

Acquire some basic conveyor and scale information—such as idler
spacing, conveyor angle, and so forth.

Determine the exact belt length of the conveyor.

Enter your belt-scale code and other conveyor and scale parameters
into the Micro-Tech to initialize the software.

Complete the initial scale (zero and span) calibrations.
