Taring your sensor involves zeroing out the scale with the tank/container in order to accurately reflect your product's levels.
There are two different methods of taring your weight scale, taring in software, and taring with the sensor's hardware. Both methods are quick and simple, but only ONE should be done to properly tare your sensor.
Taring through software
- To tare your weight scale sensor, ensure your sensor has been successfully added to your account, and is connected to a Pulsa gateway.
- Do not place any container or product onto scale. Confirm the scale is reading 0.00lbs.
- If scale is not reading 0.00lbs, physically tare the scale by pushing the button on the scale and waiting for next reading. Confirm last seen reading is 0.00lbs.
- To complete taring process, set container weight. Select [Manage] in upper right corner, and edit "Container weight", then save changes.
Note: Manufacturers post the weight of their vessels in their documentation. For some commonly used tank documentation, visit the following vendor sites:
If container weight is not listed in the resources above, the empty container may be placed onto the scale to record weight. Once container weight is recorded in sensor reading, update the container weight to recorded weight. Once changes have been saved, your container and sensor are ready for use.
- To tare your industrial weight or weight tile sensor, ensure your sensor has been successfully added to your account, and is connected to a local sensor gateway.
- Place empty container onto scale. Ensure container is COMPLETELY empty. Any product in the container when taring will result in inaccurate readings.
- Push tare button once. Button is located on the side of you weight tile sensor.
- Ensure your "Container Weight" is set to 0 to avoid double counting.
- Check your Pulsa dashboard to ensure sensor is reading appropriate measurement.
- When taring through hardware, confirm container weight is set to zero. Setting container weight to anything else will deduct from zero weight.
