CHAPTER 3 SCALE TESTING AND CALIBRATION

3.9  SCALE SETTINGS

The EB scale contains four user-selectable scale settings (Setup mode).  These are as follows:
Scale Increment, Backlight, Zero Tracking Range and Filtering.   A description of each setting is explained
below.

1. To enter the Setup mode, press and then release 

COUNT 

and

 M+ 

at the same time to enter

Scale increment 

- Sets the displayed scale increment (also known as readability

or graduation).  Selectable setup values will be model dependent and are
equivalent to within 30,000 to 3,000 scale divisions.

Backlight 

- Sets the activation mode of the backlight.

The following settings are available: AU (Auto-on with items greater than 9d
placed on the Platform or any button is pressed; turns off after 5 seconds of
inactivity), on, oFF.

Zero Display Range

 - Sets the range in which the Zero reading is maintained.

The following settings are available: 0.5d, 1d, 2d, 4d (d= scale division).

Filtering

 - Sets the level in which the Stable indication turns on; the higher the

setting, the faster the stabilization time.
The following settings are available: 0, 1, 2, 3 (levels).
