Load Impedance: 

Three settings by toggle switch. 

X0.5 =700 ohms

X1 = 350 ohms (1standard load cell)

X4= 87.5 ohms (4 load cell platform)

Output Range: 

0-3mV/V in .01mV/V steps (300 precision fixed steps)

Switchable Vernier: 

Two Ranges

Range 1 is equal to the 0.5mV/V switch plus 0 -0.5mV/V. 

Range 2 is equal to the 0.5mV/V switch plus the 0.1mV/V switch plus 0-0.1mV/V. Enabled by 

pressing the switch.

Switchable Offset:
