Over-Capacity Test

The Over-Capacity Test checks for proper indication from the scale when too much weight is placed on the Top Plate.

Note:  This test must immediately follow the Increasing Load Test. Do not remove any of the weights from the previous test prior to running this test.

Place additional weight on the center of the Top Plate as shown in the following table. Use the weight that corresponds to the NCR 7895 programmed unit of weight.

Note:  Scale capacity is 15 ±0.005 kg or 30 ±0.01 lb. Also, the scale weighs in increments of ±0.005 kg or ±0.01 lb.
