3.0 ACCURACY STATEMENT
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THE SCALE SYSTEM
Digi-Star Scale Systems are designed and manufactured to provide the greatest accuracy
possible. However, proper installation and use are required in order to obtain the highest level
of accuracy.
When using the scale system, the following must be considered in order to realize the best
possible performance and accuracy.
Load cells must be installed with the proper orientation. Most Digi-Star load cells have a
label indicating either the “TOP” or bending direction of the load cell. Inspect load cells to
determine if the load cells are installed correctly. Incorrect installation of load cells will
result in inaccurate measurement.
Load cells should not be subjected to any strains or loads other than the weight of the load.
Stress or strain caused by misalignment or other factors when accurate weight readings
are desired will negatively affect the accuracy.
The weighing unit should be stationary with minimum movement, and on a level surface, to
ensure that weight readings are as accurate as possible.
o
The effect of movement on accuracy depends on the speed and roughness of the
ground and application. Rougher terrain and faster and/or greater movement increases
the degradation of accuracy.
o
A level surface is defined as being less than a 5” (13cm) change in rise over 10’ (3.0m)
of run. As the slope of the terrain increases, degradation of accuracy will also increase.
