calibration procedures.
Calibration can be performed in two places within the menu: the CALIBR menu shown in
Figure 3-5 is an in-depth scale setup and calibration. A “quick access” calibration is shown
in Figure 4.1 on page 36.
GRADS 10000
1–100000 Specifies the number of full scale graduations.
The value entered must be in the range 1–100000 and should be consistent with legal
requirements and environmental limits on system resolution.
To calculate GRADS, use the formula: GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions.
Display divisions are specified under the FORMAT submenu.
Note
If RANGE is displayed after the value is entered, the value is too large or
small for the given parameter.
FORMAT PRIMRY
SEC
TER Select your primary, secondary, and tertiary units of measure. Sub-choices include lb, kg,
oz, and g. Secondary and tertiary units can also be set to lb/oz (lb/oz is not legal for trade),
or off.
ZTRKBN 0
number Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range specified, as long as the input is
within the ZRANGE and scale is at standstill. Specify the zero tracking band in ± display
divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Note
For scales using linear calibration, do not set the zero tracking band to a
value greater than that specified for the first linearization point.
ZRANGE 1.900000
number Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.900000 default value is ±
1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at
standstill to zero the scale. Use the default value for legal-for-trade applications.
MOTBAN 1
number Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If motion is not
detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some operations, including
print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum legal value varies
depending on local regulations.
If this parameter is set to 0 the standstill annunciator does not light; operations normally
requiring standstill (zero, tare, print) are performed regardless of scale motion. If 0 is
selected, ZTRKBND must also be set to 0.
OVRLOA FS+2%
FS+1D
FS+9D
FS Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error
message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
SSTIME 10
number Specifies the length of time the scale must be out of motion, in 0.1-second intervals, before
the scale is considered to be at standstill. Values greater than 10 are not recommended.
SMPRAT 30HZ
7.5HZ
15HZ
60HZ
120HZ
240HZ
480HZ
960HZ Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital
converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.
Note
Settings of 120Hz or above may be too fast to provide the desired
stability in some static weighing applications.
