5.1 Pre-Calibration Procedures
1. Determine whether the load sensors are installed properly. See your load sensor’s
installation manual for proper installation instructions.
2. A down arrow on some sensors and cells shows the correct direction of the applied load.
If the arrow points in the wrong direction, reposition the load sensor so the arrows face
down.
3. Check for binding on the load sensor, mount, or other parts of the weighing system.
WARNING: BINDING ON A SCALE/VESSEL OR LOAD CELL DOES NOT
ALLOW THE LOAD SENSOR FREE VERTICAL MOVEMENT AND MAY
PREVENT THE INSTRUMENT FROM RETURNING TO THE ORIGINAL ZERO
REFERENCE.
AVERTISSEMENT: LIER SUR UNE ÉCHELLE / RÉCIPIENT OU CELLULE DE
CHARGE NE PERMET PAS LA CELLULE DE CHARGE LIBRE CIRCULATION
VERTICALE ET PEUT EMPÊCHER L'APPAREIL DE REVENIR AU POINT DE
RÉFÉRENCE ZÉRO D'ORIGINE.
4. Load sensors must be mounted so that 100% of the load (Vessel w/Contents) passes
vertically through all the sensors comprising the system. Verify that nothing is binding the
load sensors. This means that nothing is draped across the scale/vessel or the load
sensor, such as a hose, electrical cord, tubes, or other objects.
5. Verify that nothing is in contact with the scale/vessel other than service wires and piping
that have been properly mounted with flexible connections. Flexible pipes are not to be
used in any other than the horizontal plane and are not to be used to correct pipe
alignment problems. Vertical or at angles other than horizontal will have a negative effect
on the scale’s ability to repeat and provide accurate weight readings.
