Operation:
Start the application (see Chapter 10.3 “Changing application / weighing mode”).
• Place the animal on the weighing pan.
• Press the «
REF
»-button until the desired function appears on the display.
• Release the «
REF
»-button.
10.11 Application “DENSITY”
See Chapter 8.5 “Activating the two main menus” and Chapter 8.6 “How the menu control operates” for the
activation of the Application menu.
You can carry out density determinations with the aid of the “DENSITY” program. For this, different modes
of density determinations can be selected.

Operation:
Start the application (see Chapter 10.3 “Changing application / weighing mode”).
• Press the «

The program leads the operator through the individual operating steps.
10.11.1 Density determination “Solid on bottom mode”
A temperature-controlled reference-liquid (water) is poured into a bowl, placed on the scale pan and tared.
The solid is then placed into the liquid and weighed. Subsequently, the solid is suspended so that it is still
completely immersed in the water, but no longer touches the base. It is weighed again.

NOTE
A Density Measurement Set (see Chapter 4 “Acessories”) is available as an optional extra. But you can
also determine the density of solids without this accessory.
«OK»:
- Accept current reference density
«CAL»:
- Calculate reference density of the measuring liquid
«T-H2o»: - Set reference density to water at nn.n °C
«20.0C»: - Set reference density to water at nn.n °C
«AIR», etc
- Invitation to measure the corresponding value
«<–>»:
-“Switch” from index to density
«SET»:
- Executes corresponding step
«STO»:
- Stores corresponding value (statistics)
