A. Preliminary Checks
1. Seat the suspension components. Drive the test truck across the scale stopping
and starting several times across the scale. Repeat this procedure at least three
times to assure that all parts are properly seated.
2. Refer to the appropriate technical manual for the particular Intalogix™ Technology
indicator for the setup and calibration procedures.
B. Repeatability and Return-to-Zero performance tests
Position the test truck in the center of the weighbridge and note the weight reading.
Pull the truck off the scale and note the return to zero. Repeat this procedure at least
three times to assure consistency. If the scale does not repeat the readings, within
tolerance, check for mechanical obstructions or alignment problems. Check to see the
scale is assembled properly and the load cells are aligned, level, and the load is
equally distributed on each load cell. Add or remove shims as required to improve
deadload distribution.
C. Section test and adjustment
The section test should be conducted centering the test load, weight cart or test
weights, directly over each section. Record the weight indication of each section.
The sections should be adjusted so that the weight indications of all sections match
within the tolerances set forth by the National Institute of Standards and Technology
Handbook H-44.
