Chapter 5: Configuration
Calibrating the Bin Scale
The Bin Scale loadcells must be calibrated before you can get an accurate feed weight reading. You cali-
brate the Bin Scale loadcells using the
EDGE Controller .
Before You Begin
Make sure each loadcell reads a raw weight value and that those values are stable.
IMPORTANT: The tank must be stable at the time of calibration. For example, flow hammers, wind, pass-
ing vehicles, or trains can give and inaccurate reading and even some error message.
NOTE: You will need a feed load at least five times heavier than the empty tank weight to perform the
Loaded tank calibration .
What You Should Know
There are two mandatory calibrations, an Empty tank calibration (Tare) and a Loaded tank calibration .
It is not necessary to have a completely empty tank to perform the Empty tank calibration (Tare) if you
know the weight of the feed inside the tank. A valid calibration requires both the Tare and Loaded opera-
tions to be completed successfully.
IMPORTANT: Normally, you will have to wait for a feed delivery to be able to do the Loaded tank calibra-
tion After you complete an Empty tank calibration (Tare) , you can exit the screen without
loosing the Tare calibration and finish the Loaded tank calibration later.
To perform an Empty tank calibration (Tare):
1. In the EDGE controller click Configure→Outside→Bulk Feed Tank and select the tank you want
to calibrate.
2. Press the Calibration icon .
The Bulk feed tank calibration screen will be displayed.
