BM series 51
Stability band width (
5t-b
)
This item controls the width to regard a mass value as a stable value. When the fluctuation per
second is less than the parameter, the balance displays the stabilization indicator and outputs or
stores the data. The parameter influences the "Auto print mode".
5t-b 0
This parameter is used for sensitive response of the stabilization indicator. Used for
exact weighing.
5t-b 2
This parameter ignores slight fluctuations of a mass value. Used to prevent a mass
value from drifting due to vibration or drafts.
Display lock function (
ploc
)
This function is used to lock the display when measuring the volume dispensed from the pipette.
With "Display lock function is used ( ploc on )" selected in the function table, when the liquid is
dispensed into the weighing bottle from the pipette and a stable weighing value is obtained, the
balance calculates an average value and displays the result (locked).
When using this function for the measurement of a small volume, the influence of liquid
evaporation can be reduced.
Caution Even if the weighing bottle (evaporator trap) to reduce the water evaporation is
used, at least 0.05 mg (0.05 ) evaporation will occur.
When canceling this function, press the
RE-ZERO
key.

Zero tracking (
trc
)
This function tracks zero point drift caused by changes in the environment and stabilizes the zero
point. When the weighing data is only a few digits, turn the function off for accurate weighing.
trc 0 The tracking function is not used. Used for weighing a very light sample.
trc 1
The normal tracking function is used.
trc 2 The strong tracking function is used.
trc 3
The very strong tracking function is used. Used for stable zero display.
Display refresh rate (
5pd
)
The periodic time to refresh the display. This parameter influences "Baud rate", "Data output
pause" and the data output rate of "Stream mode".
Decimal point (
pnt
)
The decimal point format can be selected.
Auto display-ON (
p-on
)
When the AC adapter is plugged in, the display is automatically turned on without pressing the
ON:OFF
key, to display the weighing mode. Used when the balance is built into an automated
system. One hour warm up is necessary for accurate weighing.
