5.2 Basic Settings
TheLIS–SV is adjusted at the factory. Any fine adjust-
ments or new adjustments which may be necessary
can be carried out in accordance with the adjustment
instructions in Section 10 using a test load. Where
possible, the test load should be equal to the rated
load.
If the test load is lower, there will be a significant deterio-
ration in system accuracy. As a basic principle, the
higher the test load, the higher the accuracy. It is rec-
ommended that a test load of at least 80 % of the rated
load should be used.
At this load, the specified accuracy can generally be
ensured. The minimum load which can be used for set-
ting is 40 % of the rated load capacity. If this load is
used, it is not always possible to obtain the specified
accuracy.
If it is necessary to use a load of 40% to 80% for setting,
this must be stated in the inspection report.
