5. the application A small deviation of a few degrees doesn t matter that much E Calibrate the scale Follow the instructions in this manual chapter 7 7 m Unsatisfactory weighing results can be caused by tensions in the scale s suspension The 3 attachment pins aren t Supported by ball bearings and even when balls and or hooks are used tensions build up in the system due to load changes These tensions dissipate while driving or moving This is the reason why the scale and implement must be moved twice during the calibration process It also explains why the scale weighs more accurately during movement than during standstill During static weighings for instance slowly filling a fertilizer spreader the displayed weight is usually lower than the true weight of the load because of tensions in the system Under higher loads the scale might not react smoothly to changes in weight When you have enough experience with your system you can add the missing weight If not you have to stop filling a bit earlier and clear the tensions in the system by moving after which the correct weight will be displayed Check without attached implement whether the scale displays the same weight on both sides Stand on the left and then the right side of the AGRETO electronics GmbH Seite 21 AGRETOtee pointscale ALO linkage If the difference is larger than 5 kg one of the load cells is malfunctioning or load cell suspension needs to be readjust
