Calibration
Calibration requires the use of a truck scale in order to calibrate the system. First determine the empty vehicle
weight or tare weight of the truck. Once the tare and zero calibration are performed, load the vehicle as close to its
legal maximum limit as possible to determine the span or net weight value used for calibration.
4.7.1
Calculating the SPAN (Net Weight)
1. To determine actual
TARE
weight, drive the empty vehicle onto a truck scale and note the total weight.
Truck Scale
Figure 4-4. Vehicle on Truck Scale
2. Load the vehicle as close to its legal maximum as possible.
3. Weigh the loaded vehicle, using the same truck scale, and record the
GROSS
vehicle weight.
4. Calculate
NET
weight using:
Gross - Tare = Net
.
Note
Prior to calibration, with the display in the Inclinometer/Net Weight or Inclinometer mode raise the body clear of
the chassis (the factory recommendation is three or four degrees). Record the bubble indication setting for use
on span calibration and normal weighing.
