Section 69-10-02-12 - Observation windows, video cameras, or photoelectric eyes1. Windows must be provided and must be located in such a position and manner so that the scale operator has full view of the scale platform and weighing operation, including the front, back, and one side of the vehicle being weighed from the scale operator's working position, and that the weighman and indicating elements are clearly visible to interested parties.2. Video cameras may be substituted for windows if the substitution does not diminish the view for either the scale operator or other interested parties. However, installations that exceed two hundred feet [61 meters] from the main indicating element must be equipped with two-way audio communication and remote or video display of weight indication.3. Photoelectric eyes or similar devices that are electronically interlocked with the weighing system and positioned such that a vehicle must be entirely on or off a scale prior to a weight being recorded, may be used for unattended scale applications. If the photoelectric eye or similar device is the sole source for vehicle placement verification and is not operational, the scale may not be used.N.D. Admin Code 69-10-02-12
