Instruction manual

Example :
A non-linearity with respect to the ideal response exists in a belt scale application
with design rate of 200 t/h. It is decided to do material tests at 25, 50 and 75% of the
design rate. After performing a zero and a span calibration at 100% of the design
rate, followed by material tests and manual span adjust, three material tests were
performed at 50, 100 and 150 t/h, as indicated by the BW100. The following data
was tabulated. (This example is exaggerated for emphasis).
The material tests should be run at same belt speed, representative of normal
operation; in this case 1.2 m/s. For each rate, record the corresponding load value by
scrolling to the BW100 load display during running conditions or by calculation.
