Calibrating the Dairy Feeder System 
 

Now you have connected the hardware and software with the existing weighing equipment. To 
ensure that the system works precisely, then you have to calibrate both systems to each other 
again. 

A system can only work as well as it has been calibrated. 

 

Please ensure that the feeder mixer wagon is completely empty before beginning 
calibration. 
Please first ensure that the existing weighing equipment at the feeder mixer wagon is 
recalibrated. To do this, follow the description of the weighing equipment of the feeder 
mixer wagon. 

Calibration of a new system using a sample weight. 

To calibrate the Dairy Feeder system with your existing weighing equipment, calibration is 
necessary. All you require for this is a reference weight against which you calibrate the machine or 
the system. Ideally this should be between 

500 kg 

and 

3,000 kg

, depending on the size of the 

mixer wagon (the higher the reference weight, the more precise the calibration). First put the 
calibration weight to one side because the calibration process begins with an empty feeder mixer 
wagon.
