Calibration
This chapter provides instructions for calibrating the CubiScan 125
touchscreen, measurement gate, scale (load cells), and ultrasound sensors.
The CubiScan 125 is calibrated at the factory; however, some circumstances
in which recalibration may be required include the following:
•
Calibrate the touchscreen if you have trouble making selections on the
screen.
•
Calibrate the CubiScan 125 if you have problems cubing and weighing
after assembly and setup.
•
Calibrate the CubiScan 125 if it is subjected to any type of mechanical
shock or collision with a heavy object.
•
Calibrate the CubiScan 125 as part of a regular maintenance schedule.
Calibration of the scale is recommended at least annually. If the
CubiScan 125 is used heavily, scale calibration should be performed
monthly.
•
Perform quality checks as needed, depending on how critical the
accuracy of the data is to you. Recalibrate if you are outside the tolerance
of +/- 0.05 inches (+/- 0.1 cm) for the gate, +/- 0.010 pounds
(+/- 0.005 kg) for the scale, or +/- 0.1 inches (+/- 0.2 cm) for the
ultrasound sensors.
During quality checks or when calibrating, make sure that the CubiScan 125
is not affected by external forces that may affect readings, such as sunlight
or fans.
Before You Begin
Before calibrating the CubiScan 125, remove all items or other material
from the platform and blow any dust off the measurement sensors. Refer to
for information on cleaning the sensors.
