4.3 Motion detection Commands – NR, NT
The motion detection facility provides a means of disabling certain functions whenever a
condition of instability, or “motion”, is detected. The “no-motion”, or “stable” condition is
achieved whenever the signal is steady for the period of time set by NT, during which it
cannot fluctuate by more than NR increments.The stable condition activates the relevant bit
of responses to “Info Status” (IS).
The following functions are disabled if motion is detected: “Calibrate Zero” (CZ) “Calibrate
Gain” (CG) “Set Zero” (SZ) and “Set Tare” (ST).
NR
No Motion range
[ 2100sub0A ]
This is the range within which the weighing signal is allowed to fluctuate and still be
considered as “stable”. Permitted values are between 0 and 65535.

NR = 2 i.e. fluctuations within a maximum of ± 2 d, in the period NT, will be considered
“stable”.
Factory default: NR = 1.
NT
Stabilisation time for in motion band
[ 2100sub0B ]
This sets the time (in milliseconds) over which the weight signal is checked to see if it is
“stable” or has “no-motion“. The weight signal has to vary by less than NR divisions over the
time period NT to be considered ‘stable’.
Permitted range 0-65535 milliseconds.

If the value of NT =500 milliseconds, the output must not fluctuate more than NR
increments within 500 milliseconds in order to be considered “stable”.
Factory default: NT = 1000 [=1000 ms].
