Conversion Factors for Secondary Units
The 482-AG has the capability to mathematically convert a weight into many different types of units and instantly display those
results with a press of the
UNIT
key. Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter.
Multipliers are preconfigured within the indicator.
Ensure that the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary units. If
the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overflow message
(
OVERFL
).
For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set
to 8888.88, the indicator will overflow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion
factor of 2000, the secondary units display needs five digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb
secondary units value.
