2.5 Configuring the Indicator
Refer to the indicator manual for information on configuring the indicator for your application.
If using the DeckHand for a Legal for Trade application, do not configure the indicator for more divisions than the
NTEP Class III maximums below:
500 lb capacity 2500 divisions
1000/2000 lb capacity 2000 divisions
The following sample configuration parameters will yield those maximum divisions:
2.6 Calibrating with Test Weights
Refer to the indicator operating manual to determine correct calibration procedure.
Before beginning calibration, put the scale in the same temperature environment where it will be used. Power up
the indicator so it can warm up for at least 20 minutes before starting calibration.
The scale should be “exercised” before calibration to be certain that everything is seated. Load the scale to near
capacity two or three times.
The following test weights are recommended for the most accurate calibration of the various models:
With the scale base level and no load on the scale, place the indicator in calibration mode and do a zero calibration
according to the indicator manual.
Place test weights on the platform equal to the value shown in Table 3 (75% of the scale’s capacity). Do a span
calibration according to the indicator manual.
Remove the test weights and check the zero reading. Repeat the calibration process if necessary.
The calibrated DeckHand scale is now ready for operation.
