Motion Test
Automatic Zero Setting Test
NOTE
Product Reference Guide
• Lead wire or paper seal (as required by law).
This test verifies that the scale will not 'zero' when the weighing surface of
the scanner/scale is in motion.
1. Verify that the Zero lamp is On and the Remote Display reads
0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
2. Press lightly on the weigh platter of the scanner/scale with one
hand and at the same time press and release the Zero switch on
the operator's panel. The Zero lamp should turn Off and the
Remote Display should not display 0.00 pounds, 0.000 pounds
or 0.000 kilograms.
3. Remove your hand from the weighing platform and verify that
the Zero lamp is On and the Remote Display reads 0.00 pounds,
0.000 pounds or 0.000 kilograms.
This test verifies that the scanner/scale automatic zero setting mechanism
is operating correctly.
1. Place 0.0035 pounds (1.6 grams for metric) on the center of the
weighing platform. The entire weight must be placed on the
weighing platform at once for this test to be valid. The Zero lamp
should go Off and the Remote Display should read 0.005 pounds
(0.002 kilograms).
The scanner/scale has an adaptive zero capture mechanism that re-zeros
the scale over time if there is a slow change in the zero level; thus, if all the
weight is not placed on the weighing surface at one time, the Zero lamp
will remain On and the Remote Display will read 0.00 pounds or 0.000
pounds (0.000 kilograms). When the weight is removed, the Zero lamp will
turn off and the display will show a minus sign
switch to rezero the scale.
