Weighing the Vehicle
Once the VanWeigh® system has been congured, it must be calibrated. This requires multiple
weight measurements of the axles on the vehicle.
Ensure that you know the gross vehicle weight (GVW) before you calibrate the system
Two sets of vehicle measurements must be taken:
• Zero weights. This is the weight measurement of each axle when the vehicle is empty
• Span weights. This is the weight measurements of each axle when the total weight of the
vehicle is as close to GVW as possible
The zero weights calibration data should be entered into the display unit when the vehicle
is empty and the zero weight measurements are taken. The span calibration data should be
entered into the display unit when the vehicle is at GVW and the span weight measurements
are taken. See “How to calibrate the junction box” on page 51
The weight measurements can be taken by using weigh pads or a weigh bridge.
Vehicle weighing should be performed on a at, level surface, in calm weather conditions. If
possible, weigh the vehicle indoors.
