WEIGHT AVERAGING
The weight averaging option allows the scale to display an average weight taken from the platform over a specific time period.
Readings are sampled from the platform forty times per second so a five second average would average 200 readings. Weight
averaging can be setup to operate from a front panel key (the “8” key) or to operate on a continuous basis.
Push Button Operation
Pressing the EIGHT- key will start the average. While the average is being taken, the status bar on the bottom of the screen will display
“
Avg
” and the graph bar will show the amount of time left. When the average is completed the result is locked on the display and
the
text “
Loc
” will be shown on the status bar. While the
reading is locked the UNITS, NET/GROSS and other front panel keys will still
operate as normal. To release the lock simply press the EIGHT-key again. While the average is being taken it can be aborted at any time
by pressing the EIGHT-key.
Continuous Operation
When configured for continuous operation, constant averages at the selected time interval will be taken and locked on the display. The
text “
Avg
” will be shown on the status bar and the time progress shown on the graph line. The average key (the EIGH
T-key) is used to
start and stop this process.
Configuring the Weight Average Option
The configuration parameters for the weight average option can be found in the menu SETUPMENU/OPTION SETUPS/WEIGHT
AVERAGING. There are three settable options here.

ACTV: Activates or deactivates weight averaging.
Type of Averaging
–
TYPE: Push button or continuous operation.
Time of Averaging
–
TIME: Average acquire time can be set from one to sixty-three seconds.
KEY LOCK PASSWORD PROTECT
This key lock option adds the capability of disabling the front panel by having all of the function keys locked out, until a valid password
is entered. Once a valid password is entered, the keys will remain unlocked until the scale is powered down and powered up. By
default, the option is not active until an initial password is set.
