The weight must be lifted freely: without touching the housing of the indicator or other
pallets:
Wrong way of lifting the load
The accuracy of the weighing system diminishes with circa 0.1% per degree starting from a
tilted position of 2°. This effect also occurs with pits/pot‐holes in the floor. An even floor is
optimal. The system will be produced with an electrical level switch. When the forks are out
of level with more than 2 degrees, the indicator will
display ‐‐‐‐‐‐
.
The most accurate weighing result is obtained when the centre of gravity of the load is
placed between the forks. With an non‐centric loading, the forks will tordate and bend. This
may result in a higher inaccuracy. With legal for trade versions, the level control will switch
off the indicator with a non‐centric loading or a tilted position that influences the weighing
accuracy.
Temperature range: between ‐10 and +40°
C the maximum inaccuracy is 0.1% of the
weighed load. Outside this range,
inaccuracies of up to 0.3% may occur.
Fast temperature changes must be avoided because it will cause condensation in the electronics.
During acclimatisation the weighing system must be switched off.
