    The indicator must be connected and calibrated, but it does not need to indicate the exact weight value. A test weight is required. The recommended test weight for all Summit 3000 models is 25% of scale capacity: for example, 500 lb for 2000 lb models, 2500 lb for 10,000 lb models.
  • Page 14: Calibration Procedure
