6.2. 

Smart Range 

  The smart range for the 

BM-5D 

and

 

BM-22

 consists of the standard range and precision range 

(high resolution). 

  Smart range function 

  The range switches automatically, depending on the value displayed. 
 Pressing the 

 RE-ZERO 

  key allows weighing in the precision range, regardless of the tare value. 

  The range can be fixed to the standard range by pressing the 

 RANGE 

 key. 

 
 

Example 

1 Press the 

 RE-ZERO 

  key to use the precision range. 

The balance displays zero. 

 
 
 
2  Place a container (tare) on the weighing pan. 

When the value of the container (tare) exceeds the 
precision range, the balance automatically switches 
to the standard range. 

 
 
3 Press the 

 RE-ZERO 

  key to use the precision range. 

The balance displays zero. 

 
 
4  Place the weighing sample in the container (tare). 

When the sample is within the precision range, 
the weighing value can be read in high resolution.
