Averaging Level

Averaging level compensates for vibration or excessive air currents. Factory default setting
is shown in bold type.
AL 0

reduced stability, fastest stabilization time

AL 1 normal stability, normal stabilization time
AL 2

more stability, slow stabilization time

NOTE: Averaging level does not affect balance accuracy, but it does affect stabilization

Stability Range

The stability range specifies the weighing results must be within a preset  tolerance limit for
a certain time to turn the stability indicator ON. When a displayed weight changes beyond
the allowable range, the stability indicator turns OFF, indicating an unstable condition.
Factory default setting is shown in bold type.

Stb 0 Smallest range: stability indicator is ON only  when displayed
weight is within a preset tolerance limit for one second.

Stb 1

Normal range.

Stb 2

Larger range.

Stb 3

Largest range: stability indicator is ON when displayed
weight is within a preset tolerance limit for several seconds.

When the RS232 interface is  configured to print stable data only, the stability range also
governs data output. Displayed data will only be output if it is within the selected stability
range.
