Computing Scale / PS6L<br />
Application: Weight classifier, postal/shipping scale for determining postal charges. The scale will be marked "WEIGHT<br />
CLASSIFIER FOR POSTAL USE." The weight classifier rounds weight values up to the next scale division in normal operation and<br />
in testing.<br />
Identification: The required information appears on an adhesive badge under the platter attached to the base <strong>of</strong> the scale.<br />
Sealing: The scale is sealed by means <strong>of</strong> a wire security seal threaded through a screw in an access platter that covers the setup<br />
features.<br />
Operation: Multi-interval and multi-range features are optional. Both features are protected behind the security seal. When set-up as<br />
a multi-interval or multi-range scale the division size and range will change division sizes automatically as appropriate.<br />
Test Conditions: This certificate supersedes <strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>98</strong>-018A2 and is issued to include multiple range capability<br />
in the Standard Features and Options Box. The multiple range feature was evaluated in an NTEP laboratory. The previous test<br />
condition is listed below as reference.<br />
<strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>Number</strong> <strong>98</strong>-018A2: This certificate supersedes <strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>98</strong>-018A1 and is issued to<br />
clarify that Range 3 can be selected for a maximum <strong>of</strong> 149 to 150 lb. Previous test data and information supplied by the company was<br />
reviewed. No additional testing was required.<br />
<strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>Number</strong> <strong>98</strong>-018A1: This certificate supersedes <strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>98</strong>-018 and is issued to add<br />
a second range <strong>of</strong> capacities to the existing device. Previous test data and information supplied by the company was reviewed. No<br />
additional testing was required.<br />
<strong>Certificate</strong> <strong>of</strong> Conformance <strong>Number</strong> <strong>98</strong>-018: The emphasis <strong>of</strong> the evaluation was on the device design, operation, and compliance<br />
with influence factor and marking requirements. Several increasing/decreasing load and shift tests were performed with a power<br />
supply <strong>of</strong> 100 VAC or 130 VAC applied to the scale. The scale was tested over a temperature range <strong>of</strong> 10 C to 40 C<br />
(50 F to 104 F). A load <strong>of</strong> approximately one-half scale capacity was applied to the scale 100 800 times. The scale was tested<br />
periodically during this time.<br />
