PV1, PV2, PCT, PV & units, gross weight,
net & gross weight, max/min, max & min,
set points, or Modbus

input

Display Line 2:
Same as Display Line 1; plus units, tag or
turned off

Programming
Methods

Four SafeTouch through-glass buttons
when cover is installed. Mechanical buttons
can be used with the cover removed. Free
PC-based USB MeterView Pro
programming software.

Noise Filter

Programmable from 2 to 199
(0 will disable filter)

Filter Bypass

Programmable from 0.1 to 99.9% of
calibrated span

Recalibration

All ranges are calibrated at the factory.
Recalibration is recommended at least
every 12 months.

Max/Min
Display

Max/min readings reached by the process
are stored until reset by the user or until
power to the meter is turned off.

Rounding

Select 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, or 100

(e.g. rounding = 10, value = 123.45,
display = 123.50)

Tare

Tare function zeros out the meter to
remove the weight of a container. Tare
function can be assigned to a function key,
F4 terminal, or a digital input.

Password

Three programmable passwords restrict
modification of programmed settings.

Pass 1: Allows use of function keys and
digital inputs
Pass 2: Allows use of function keys, digital
inputs and editing set/reset points
