9.6. Obligations with Legal for Trade Scales
The operator is responsible for the first and all regularly recurrent official calibrations.
Important: The official seal may only be broken by authorized qualified staff.
If one or more of the following changes has happened, the operater has to send a written note to the assigned
public authority and a new official calibration is mandatory:
►
Broken seals
►
Replaced load cells
►
Replaced load carrier
►
Replaced wiring
►
Replaced LDUs
►
Replaced weighing system controller
►
Replaced descriptive plate
►
Calibration of the scale
►
Changes to the approved software settings
Hint: The user is responsible for the correct performance of any official calibration.
9.7. Legal for Trade Data within the Weighing System Controller
In legal for trade and industrial applications all calibration data will be stored in a flash memory on the weighing
system controller. These data can only be accessed, if the authentification of the FlintWeigh II Software to the
weighing system controller is valid. If these data will be saved during a calibration, the electronic calibration
counter (TAC) will automatically increased by one. The stored data is the following:
Structure of the general scale data
Serial no.
Up to 17x per controller; up to 16x type RC3D digital load cell respective LDU
Gravitational factor
Default value: 9.8075656
