Shift Test
The Shift Test checks to ensure that items placed anywhere on the weigh-
ing surface of the scanner/scale are weighed properly. Refer to Figure 5-3
when performing this test.
1. Place and remove in succession, a fifteen-pound load on the cen-
ter of each of the four quadrants (A, B, C, and D in Figure 5-2) of
the scanner/scale’s weigh platter. Verify that a reading of between
14.99 and 15.01 lb registers under load and that the display
returns to 0.00 between each load.
2. After verifying the accuracy of each quadrant of the weighing sur-
face, remove all weight from the scale. You have completed the
Shift Test.
