Automatic Unit Conversions
When switching from any standard unit of rate, total, or grand total to any other standard unit, automatic
unit conversions are performed by the scanner.
No unit conversions will be performed when the K-Factor Units (F-UNIT) menu is set to custom (CUST).
A total or grand total unit conversion will automatically change the displayed total and grand total to the
equivalent volume of the newly selected unit.
Custom Units Entry (CUST)
When a custom unit is selected for rate, total, or grand total, a menu allows for entry of the custom unit.
Any 5-digit 14-segment unit label may be entered for a custom rate unit (example: DRUMS).
Any 7-digit 14-segment unit label may be entered for a custom total or grand total unit (examples:
BOTTLES
, DRUMS).
A custom rate, total, or grand total unit will allow a total or grand total conversion factor to be entered to
define the unit. When selected for total or grand total, a custom unit will not allow a multiplier prefix.
Custom Rate, Total, and Grand Total Units Name (CUNITS, TUNITS,, GTUNIT)
If a custom rate unit has been selected (CUST) for rate, total, or grant total, an indicator (CUNITS, TUNITS,
or GTUNIT respectively) will display for one second, followed by the custom unit name.
Note: VOL is the default custom unit name for rate.
TOTAL is the default custom unit name for total.
GrTOTAL is the default custom unit name for grand total.
To change the name of the custom unit, press Enter when the custom unit name is being displayed and
enter the new custom unit name.
For details on setting the custom unit name, refer to Setting Alphanumeric Labels on page 24.
Press Menu button to exit this menu without saving changes.
Custom Units Conversion Factor (RATE-CF, TOT-CF, GT-CF)
After the custom unit name has been entered, enter the rate, total, or grand total conversion factor. The
conversion factor is the numbered used to multiply from the desired custom units to the units chosen to
define the k-factor.
For example, if the rate unit conversion factor is to display rate in bottles/second, and each bottle holds
2.5 gallons, the conversion factor is 0.4 (bottles/gallon) if the k-factor was entered in pulses/gallon.
Use the Up or Right arrows to select the number of decimal points needed for the conversion factor.
Press Enter.
After the conversion factor label is displayed (RATE-CF, TOT-CF, GT-CF), enter the conversion factor.
Press the Enter button, at any time, to accept a setting or Menu button to exit without saving changes.
The following example details setting a custom rate conversion factor.
See Setting Numeric Values on page 24 for more information on programming the rate, total, or grand
total conversion factor.
