Notes on changing the function settings
1. General
If you change default settings, check the display values afterwards with a known weight. If there
are deviations, recalibrate/adjust the balance. To do this, call up single-point (F---2) or three-point
calibration (F---5) in the function menu. For the one-point calibration you can select the weight
yourself. For three-point calibration, fixed weights are required. During calibration, the balance is
automatically adjusted to the respective weights and ambient conditions.
2. Changing the weighing range (
Should not be done by the customer!)
After each change of the weighing range, the balance should be adjusted (see item 1).
Please do not change the weighing range as the load cells are not designed for this
.
3. Changing readability/resolution (
Should not be done by the customer!)
The possible settings are
01 / 02 / 05 / 10.
4. Changing decimal places (
Should not be done by the customer!)
You can set 0, 1 or 3 decimal places. It is possible to set values here that do not match the other
settings (e. g. three decimal places for the unit gramme, no decimal places for the unit
kilogramme). After changing the decimal places, check with a known weight whether the balance
displays correctly. Otherwise, you must adjust the balance (see item 1).
5. Changing the weight units
You can select grammes (g), kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lb) and carats (CT). If one of the first
three units is selected, the respective indicator on the right below the display glows.
After changing the weight unit, check with a known weight whether the balances displays
correctly. Otherwise, you must adjust the balance (see item 1). When kg is set, the decimal place
changes with it. This must be adjusted again when changing to grammes.
6. Changing the sensitivity
Here, you can set how sensitively the balance reacts at very low loads.
For example, if you set the sensitivity to E-03, the balance will only display from 0.3 g when the
resolution is 0.1 g and from 3 g when the resolution is 1 g. If you want the balance to display even
the smallest quantities, set the sensitivity to E-01.
7. Limit value function - P-OFF/ P-ON
Here, you can activate that a visual indication appears on the left below the display if upper or
lower weight limits are not met. If the function is activated, you can set the weight limits within the
weighing range under F---6.
8. Zero tracking
With automatic zero tracking, very small quantities are not added up but ignored in order to
stabilise the zero point. This "zeroing" of very small quantities can cause undesired false readings
in some cases.
