8.3 Set up the Weights & Measures application
using ProLink III
When your transmitter is set up to comply with OIML or NTEP requirements, and the
transmitter is “secured,” selected measurement data from the transmitter is approved for
Weights & Measures applications.
Prerequisites
Important
Review the Weights & Measures requirements for your location and ensure that you are complying
with all local requirements as well as the OIML or NTEP requirements.
If necessary for your installation, arrange for a site visit by a certified Weights & Measures
inspector, and ensure that the inspector is present for the appropriate portions of this
procedure.
Ensure that the transmitter is ready to be secured, i.e., it is configured as desired and you
have performed all appropriate tests and adjustments. After the transmitter is secured,
you cannot make any changes to configuration, many maintenance actions are disallowed,
and some operator actions are disallowed.
