5.11.16.2 Multiple Range Scale (Class III or single range scale Class I and II with variable interval)
The multiple range scale is a scale with two or more weighing ranges with different maximum capacities and
scale intervals. There is only one load receptor, with each range covering zero to its maximum capacity.
With [Range mode] = [Multiple range], the scale has up to three ranges with different resolution.
The weight display header includes the current range (R1, R2, and R3), Max, Min, and d (or e with instruments
used in legal metrology) (Example: multiple range scale in range 2):
WP A
R2
Max
2000 kg
d=
Min
40 kg
e=
2 kg
The switch points [Range limit 1] and [Range limit 2] are the range limits. As soon as the gross weight exceeds
range 1, the next highest range with the next highest interval becomes valid (1->2->5->10->20->50). When
reducing the weight, the interval of the previous range is kept. When the gross weight is
<
0.25 d of range 1 and
the scale is stable and not tared, the scale returns to range 1 with the corresponding interval.
Note
During calibration, the multiple range function is always switched off.
Example
Range mode: Multiple range
Range 1: 0…1000 g (when calibrating set scale interval: 0.1 g)
Range 2: 0…2000 g (next highest scale interval: 0.2 g)
Range 3: 0…3000 g (next highest scale interval: 0.5 g)
