LEVELING THE VESSEL
Leveling the vessel distributes the weight evenly on all the Load Stands, increasing system accuracy. Perform
this procedure while the vessel is still empty:
1. Check if Leveling Needed
a. Remove the junction box cover.
b. Connect the red, white, and black wires of a 3-conductor cable to the corresponding terminals on TB1 of
the Load Stand junction box. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding terminals of the K-M
T est Meter. Turn on the power to the Test Meter and set the Simulate/Test switch to the Test position.
NOTE: If a Kistler-Morse Test Meter is not available, before proceeding refer to Set-Up; Alternate Method for
Checking Output.
c. Verify the dead weight voltage output of the Load Stand from step 3f.
d. Calculate the change in output, as shown in the example. Output Change = uninstalled output
- installed output. The change in output must be positive.
