GETTING STARTED

 

1.10  LEGAL FOR TRADE (LFT) 

NOTE

:  When LFT is set to ON through the LFT sub-menu, and the LFT switch on the Main 

PCB is set to ON (see Figure 1-1, page 1-4), the following menu settings cannot be changed: 

Span Calibration, Linearity Calibration, Calibration Unit, GEO, LFT, Capacity, 
Graduation, Zero Range, Stable Range, AZT, Modes, and Units.  

To enable editing of these menu settings, open the Indicator and return the LFT switch on the 
Main PCB to the OFF position.  Then set the LFT menu item to OFF, as follows: 

1.  Press and hold 

TARE/Menu

7.  The Indicator returns to weighing mode.  It is now possible to use the abovementioned 

menus. 

After the LFT/CAL Lock setting has been turned off, the scale must be inspected in accordance 
with local weights and measures regulations before it can be used in LFT mode again.  

The weights and measures official may apply a wire or paper security seal as shown below.
