Acquiring straight body truck weights 4X2 6X4 and 8X4 The first step in the calibration of a straight body truck is to weigh the steer- ing axle (Channel A). The next step is to weigh the entire vehicle (Total weight) Then determine the weight of the drive axle(s) (ChannelB) by doing the math.

Tare Tare resets the original weight of the empty truck. To do this, you must be sure that the vehicle is EMPTY and is on as flat a surface as possible or on a weigh bridge. It is recommended that the tare be done when the fuel tank is full.
Freeze The FREEZE function freezes the sensors readings when it is activated. This allows the operator to calibrate on uneven ground. This function is useful especially when the operator needs to move quickly off the weigh bridge. Here is how to use this function. STEP : 1 Move the complete vehicle on the weigh bridge.

ERROR CODES No AIR This error code indicates that the sensor does not detect pressure in the air transducer. No Air code is triggered if the pressure is below the selected limit. See Limit No Air. Physically verify that there air pressure reaches the transducer.
Code OVER OVER will appear if the the weight readings exceed 99999 for a given chan- nel or Total weight. It is theoretically impossible to reach the maximum limit. If it does happen, check the zero, the factor, or the empty weight of the channel indicating the error code.
Precision problems It is easy to detect a precision problem on the total gross weight. However we need to pin point the source of the problem in order to fix it. In other words, we need to know from which channel the error is coming from. Channel A Empty Channel C Empty Reflex weight _______...
