Trim Adjustment; Single Load Cell - Cardinal SLS Series Owner's Manual

The purpose of adjusting trim is so the same weight reading will be displayed regardless of where
the load is placed on the scale deck. All scales are corner trimmed before leaving the factory. In
the event of re-calibration or load cell replacement, follow the instructions below to re-trim the
corners. It is assumed the other three load cells are already corner-sealed to agree with each
other. If not, please refer to the next page for further instructions.

5. Place a test weight on each corner, one at a time, and record the displayed weight for each
corner.
6. Place a test weight on the corner with the highest reading and adjust the appropriate trim
potentiometer until the weight reading agrees with the lowest reading obtained in Step 5.
