Test Load
The test load value is required for calibration of the integrator. Enter the calculated value
into the associated programming parameter of the integrator in kilograms per meter or
pounds per foot.
The test load value is calculated as follows:
Test load = calibration weight
idler spacing
Where: idler spacing = L/2 [minimum 0.6 m (2.0 ft)]

Final Calibration
Once the installation and load cell balancing are completed, the belt can be released and
allowed to ride normally on the conveyor. Install the belt speed sensor as described in its
instruction manual, and interconnect the speed sensor and belt scale with the belt scale
integrator (as shown in its instruction manual, and the system interconnection diagram).
Program the belt scale integrator as suggested in its instruction manual and with
parameters suitable for the application. With programming complete, the system is ready
for calibration.
A zero calibration can be performed after sufficient running of the conveyor allows the
belt to limber up and take its natural formation. A zero calibration is performed in
accordance to the belt scale integrator instruction manual with the conveyor running
empty.
Zero
Perform the zero calibration as described in the Calibration section of the integrator
manual.
After the completion of the zero calibration, a span calibration, as described in the belt
scale integrator instruction manual, can be performed with the test weight(s) applied. Be
sure to stop the conveyor when applying and removing the test weight.
