NTEP
The National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) is a widely accepted
weights and measures standard in the United States. Most states abide by
some or all of the requirements set forth by NTEP. A complete list of these
regulations is available in the “Handbook 44” publication distributed by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For more
information on this and other NIST publications, visit their web site at

PERATION
In order to configure the 60 Series indicators to comply with NTEP
requirements, the NTEP parameter (P440) must be enabled in the Setup
Mode. This will have the following effects on the standard indicator’s
operation:
• Pressing [TARE] with a gross weight of zero (0) or pressing 0 [TARE]
will not automatically switch to the net mode.
• Negative tare values are not accepted regardless of the selection for the
“Negative Tare Enable” parameter (P162).
• Tare values are automatically rounded regardless of the selection for the
“Tare Rounding Enable” parameter (P163).
• Received serial data will not be processed while in the Setup Mode until
P440 is manually enabled.
• Accumulations using the . [ENTER] method can only be performed
from the gross, net or quantity mode.
• Printing using the [PRINT] key is only possible from the gross, net or
quantity mode.
• Weight values that exceed the minimum width specified at P240 will be
transmitted as dashes "-------".
Legal-for-trade installations using accumulations require the “number of
accumulations” parameter (9) to be accessible when not using a printer.
When using a printer, this parameter must be printed on the receipt.
