ACCURACY STATEMENT
ACCURACY:
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THE SCALE SYSTEM
DIGI-STAR SCALE SYSTEMS ARE MANUFACTURED TO PROVIDE
THE GREATEST ACCURACY POSSIBLE. HOWEVER PROPER
DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND USE ARE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO
OBTAIN THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACCURACY.
WHEN USING THE SCALE SYSTEM THE FOLLOWING MUST BE
CONSIDERED IN ORDER TO REALIZE THE BEST POSSIBLE
PERFORMANCE AND ACCURACY.
• LOAD CELLS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH THE PROPER
ORIENTATION. MOST DIGI-STAR LOAD CELLS HAVE A
LABEL INDICATING EITHER THE "TOP" OR BENDING
DIRECTION OF THE LOAD CELL. INSPECT LOAD CELLS
TO DETERMINE IF INSTALLATION IS CORRECT.
INSTALLATION OF ANY LOAD CELLS WITH THE
ORIENTATION INCORRECT WILL RESULT IN
INACCURATE MEASUREMENT.
• LOAD CELLS SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO ANY
STRAINS OR LOADS OTHER THEN THE WEIGHT OF
THE LOAD. STRESS OR STRAIN CAUSED BY
MISALLIGNMENT OR OTHER FACTORS WHEN
ACCURATE WEIGHT READINGS ARE DESIRED WILL
NEGATIVELY AFFECT THE ACCURACY.
• THE WEIGHING UNIT SHOULD BE STATIONARY, WITH
MINIMUAL MOVEMENT, AND ON A LEVEL SURFACE TO
INSURE THAT WEIGHT READINGS ARE AS ACCURATE
AS POSSIBLE.
o THE AFFECT OF MOVEMENT ON ACCURACY
DEPENDS ON THE SPEED AND ROUGHNESS OF
THE GROUND AND APPLICATION. ROUGHER
TERRAIN AND FASTER AND/OR GREATER
MOVEMENT INCREASES THE DEGRADATION OF
ACCURACY.
o A LEVEL SURFACE IS DEFINED AS BEING LESS
THAN A 5" (13cm) CHANGE IN RISE OVER 10’
(3.0m) OF RUN. AS THE SLOPE OF THE
TERRAIN INCREASES, DEGRADATION OF
ACCURACY WILL ALSO INCREASE.
