The electronic scale pallets are slings, the number of bases is cheated, the chips are replaced, and the "one pounds scales become seven and two scales"... Through these "hands and feet" on the electronic scales, the interests of consumers are inadvertently invaded. Seven common cheating methods for electronic scales, the following points must be noted, consumers can pay attention to some when weighing, in order to ensure that their interests are not damaged.
"Cheating" method one: the pallet of the electronic scale is a sling. Some vendors use the very thin nylon rope to connect the pallet to the scale body. Because it is on the inside, it is not easy for consumers to detect. When the item is put into the weighing pan, the stall owner pushes the plate forward, and the tension generated by the nylon rope acts on the scale. The heavier the weighing, the greater the tension.
"Cheating" Method 2: Keep the base cheating. Some vendors first store a certain amount in the number indicating the weight. When the consumer makes a purchase, the previously stored base is calculated together with the purchased item.
"Cheat" method three: pad things under the electronic scale or with a tray. Some merchants put plastic foam or coins under the electronic scale, causing the electronic scale to lose balance and causing the measurement results to be out of alignment. There are also vendors who put pallets on the electronic scales and simultaneously operate the buttons on the back of the scales when weighing, so that the weight of the pallets is also included in the total amount of the goods.
"Cheat" method four: modify the measurement unit, the electronic scale into nine two scales, eight two scales or even seven two scales. The international electronic scales are all calibrated by password. Just input the password on the keyboard of the electronic scale and press the adjustment button to adjust the weighing. The electronic scale is displayed in kilograms, and the conversion factor of kilograms and kilograms should be set to 2.0, but some merchants deliberately set the conversion factor to 2.1 and 2.2 for profit. Through similar adjustments, the one-pound scale was artificially changed into nine two, eight two, seven two scales.
"Cheat" method five: impact method. Some merchants throw the goods into the weighing pan of the empty scales. The impact force makes the weight of the goods increase in an instant. It is not waiting for the consumers to look at them. The traders have taken the goods away and immediately reported the weight.
"Cheat" method six: read together. Some vendors put a plate on the electronic scale, and some merchants use this. The number of electronic scales is displayed as “000â€, but the plate is in the hands of the merchant. When weighing the goods, the weight of the plate becomes the weight of the goods. It is not easy to detect.
"Cheating" method seven: replace the chip. Unscrupulous merchants can directly change one kilogram to eight two to seven two by replacing the chip, and there is no need to make another adjustment on the electronic scale.
