Section 2
Calibrating Your Scale
You must calibrate your scale before you begin weighing bins. If you
do not do so you will not see accurate weight readings.
Note: Do not calibrate until you have seated the sensors. See
the BinMaxx Installation Guide for instructions.
Equipment Needed
• Access to an accurate ground scale
• Two refuse bins with similar dimensions and weight, or use
one bin and empty after completing the heavy calibration.
• Calibrationmaterialtollthebin.Thismaterialshould
be equal to the heavy calibration weight, which you will
determine in Steps 2 or 3 below. Choose a material that will
not shift much during calibration, such as gravel, sandbags,
or tires. Avoid liquids. We recommend using sandbags
placed on a pallet inside the bins, braced with a 2x4 to
avoid movement during calibration. Make sure to store the
sandbagsinside,asretainingwatercansignicantlychange
the weight of the bags.
