Shift Test (Metric)
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 5.0 kilogram load on the center of
each of the four quadrants (A, B, C, and D in Figure 5-3) and in the
center of the scanner/scale’s weighing platform. Verify that the dis-
play shows a reading of between 4.995 and 5.005 kg for each quad-
rant/center test and that the display returns to 0.000 between each
load.
2. After verifying the accuracy of each quadrant and the center of the
weighing surface, remove all weight from the scale. You have com-
pleted the Shift Test.
