ZERO SWITCH FUNCTION
During normal weighing operations it is not necessary to use the zero switch. It
may be necessary to zero the weight display due to environmental effects such
as temperature change.
Another function of the zero switch is found in net weighing applications where
a tare weight (such as an empty truck) is placed on the scale and the Zero
button switch is pushed to zero the display. The pad will now display the net
weight (the weight of the vehicle payload as it is loaded).
RECOMMENDED METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR VEHICLE WEIGHING
Accurate weighing of highway vehicles requires using a sufficient number of
properly placed pads for the type of vehicle (number of axles etc.) being
weighed. See Figure 3 to determine the number of weigh pads required.
BATTERY CHARGER OPERATION
Battery Removal
To remove the battery from the scale, turn the pad over and locate the battery
access cover. Use a screwdriver to remove the (3 each) flathead screws, pull the
cover and remove the battery.
