the unit off.

Reads net force value. Can be positive or
negative. Can tare up to 100% of capacity.

No change in the display.

Shows the gross force value.

The units legends will change in the

and the display will update accordingly.

Activates the "

PH

" annunciator if in peak

hold mode. The annunciators will flash and
the top segment of the left most digit will
illuminate to indicate maximum is being
displayed.

The top segment of the left most digit
illuminates if maximum reading is being
displayed. The bottom segment illumi-
nates if the minimum reading is being
displayed.

A value is displayed that is within ±0.1% of
capacity in the currently selected measur-
ing units. If displayed value is greater than
±0.1%, recalibrate the unit. Depending on
the filter value currently selected (see
Configuration Mode), the display may take
some time to settle to a stable reading.

Hold for ½ second to turn unit on. On start-up
the device is initialized and starts measuring with
previous units selected. ON/OFF key is disabled
in peak hold, device information and configuration
modes.

Tare the device and show net reading.

Send displayed information via RS-232

Not used with the ED-2000plus

Reverts to gross reading.

Scrolls through the four possible units of mea-
sure and converts the reading to the selected
unit. Selected unit of measure is saved when
power is switched off.

Toggles the device between normal and peak
hold mode. In peak hold mode it will update the
reading at 60 times per second.

If the device is in peak hold mode, toggles
between minimum and maximum readings.

Performs an internal shunt test of the measuring
bridges. (You must hold the key down until the
display stabilizes.)

Switches device from normal operating mode to
device information mode.

Switches device from operating mode to configu-
ration mode.

Puts device in RS-232 mode. This function also
conserves battery life. If you are not using the
radio function, we recommend placing the device
in RS-232 mode.

Key Functions in Normal Operation Mode

During normal operation mode most of the basic functions are available by
pressing one key. Some of the functions require that the F-key is pushed
simultaneously. This is indicated by F+[key]. Table 1 explains the key
functions.
