12.11 Conversion Factors for Secondary Units
The 520 has the capability to mathematically convert a
weight into many different types of units and instantly
display those results with a press of the
UNITS
key.
Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT
menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP
commands.
• To configure secondary units using the front
panel menus, use the Table 12-11 to find the
conversion multiplier for the MULT parameter.
For example, if the primary unit is pounds and
the secondary unit is short tons, set the MULT
parameter to 0.000500.
• To configure secondary units using EDP
commands, use the Table 12-11 to find the
conversion multiplier for the SEC.MULT
command. For example, if the primary unit is
pounds and the secondary unit is short tons,
s e n d t h e E D P c o m m a n d S E C . M U LT =
0.0005<CR> to set the multiplier for the
secondary units.
Note
Ensure that the secondary decimal point
position is set appropriately for the scale
capacity in the secondary units. If the converted
value requires more digits than are available,
the indicator will display an overflow message
(OVERFL).
For example, if the primary units are short tons,
secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal
point is set to 8888.888, the indicator will overflow if 5
tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons
applied, and a conversion factor of 2,000, the
secondary units display needs five digits to the left of
the decimal point to display the 10,000 lb secondary
units value.
