3.0 ACCURACY STATEMENT
READ THIS SECTION BEFORE USING THE SCALE SYSTEM
Digi-Star Scale Systems are designed and manufactured to provide the greatest accuracy
possible. However, proper installation and use are required in order to obtain the highest
level of accuracy.
When using the scale system, the following must be considered to realize the best possible
performance and accuracy.
• Load cells must be installed with the proper orientation. Most Digi-Star load cells have
a label indicating either the “TOP” or bending direction of the load cell. Inspect load
cells to determine if the load cells are installed correctly. Incorrect installation of load
cells will result in inaccurate measurement.
• Load cells should not be subjected to any strains or loads other than the weight of the
load. Stress or strain caused by misalignment or other factors when accurate weight
readings are desired will negatively affect the accuracy.
• The weighing unit should be stationary with minimum movement, and on a level
surface, to ensure that weight readings are as accurate as possible.
o The effect of movement on accuracy depends on the speed and roughness of the
ground and application. Rougher terrain and faster and/or greater movement
increases the degradation of accuracy.
o A level surface is defined as being less than a 5” (13cm) change in rise over 10’
(3.0m) of run. As the slope of the terrain increases, degradation of accuracy will
also increase.
