4.2 Determine Display Division (n), Division Size (d) and
Decimal Point (dot)
When you set the capacity and division size for your system, you must be sure to not
exceed the upper limit of 25,000 display divisions. The three tables on the next pages
will help you determine if your choices are acceptable.
The tables are expressions of this equation:
Display division should always be 25,000 or less.
Follow these steps to use the tables and check that your system will work satisfactorily:
1. Use the table labled with your required division size;
Table 4.1 for a division size of 1
Table 4.2 for a division size of 2
Table 4.3 for a division size of 3.
2. Choose the column under the number of decimal positions you want;
0 if no decimal (1 for a division size of 1)
1 if decimal position moved 1 space (0.1 for a division size of 1)
2 if decimal position moved 2 spaces (0.01 for a division size of 1)
3 if decimal position moved 3 spaces (0.001 for a division size of 1)
3. Follow the column down to the scale capacity of your scale (500 lbs for the PS
500 scale). If your capacity appears in the column, your system should work
properly. If the capacity does not appear in the column, you must choose a
different decimal position and/or division size.
