3.3.1 Sleep Mode
The indicator will enter the sleep mode, after the time specified in the
SLEEP
parameter, when no keypad activity is detected
and the displayed weight is below the weight threshold (
WGTHRH
). Setting the sleep parameter to
NEVER
disables the sleep
mode.
Standby Parameter
While in sleep mode, at a time specified in the standby (
STDBY
) parameter, the indicator wakes up for about 0.5 seconds. The
range of the standby time is 1 to 60 seconds. During the awake time, it checks for a change in weight greater than the display
division threshold (
DDTHRH
), or if the weight has gone above the weight threshold (
WGTHRH
). The indicator also checks to
see if a key is being pressed, and it performs zero tracking.
Example: If the standby parameter (
STDBY
) is set to 1 second, the weight threshold (
WGTHRH
) is set to 100, and the
display division threshold (
DDTHRH
) is set to 10d, when in sleep mode, the indicator will wake up every second for about
half a second to check to see if a key is being pressed, the weight threshold is over 100, or the weight has change more
than 10d since the last time it checked.
Setting the standby parameter to a higher value reduces the amount of time the indicator is awake and will increases battery
life.
The
OFF
setting stops the indicator from waking up; then, to wake up the indicator the power key must be pressed.
The indicator only checks for a depressed key during the time it is awake, so key presses may not be detected,
especially if the standby parameter is set to a longer time. The power key will always wake the indicator.

The standby parameter determines the amount of time to elapse before the instrument will wake briefly, when in the
sleep mode, and check for the following conditions:
• there is weight on the scale of more than the
WGTHRH
value
• the weight has changed greater than
DDTHRH
value
• the instrument detects that a key is pressed
WGTHRH

0 – FS
(in primary
units)
The weight threshold determines a weight, at which below this setting, the instrument will enter the sleep mode,
providing the weight remains stable, no keys are pressed and the amount of time set in the
SLEEP
parameter has
elapsed.
If the weight is above this setting the instrument will not go into sleep mode.
DDTHRH

(in display

The display division threshold parameter determines the weight change detection feature of sleep mode. Once the
instrument detects that the weight amount on the scale has changed more than the
DDTHRH
setting, it will wake up.
