8-3-2 Selecting the MODE (Measuring mode)
The ‘MODE’ (measuring mode) setting is used to specify the conditions under which measuring is to be
completed. As shown in the table in subsection “8.1 Types of Settings”, the mode may be set to automatic
operation mode, timed operation mode, or any one of five other modes.
1) Specifying settings for AUTO (Standard dryingAutomatic ending) mode
In this mode, measuring is brought to a end whenever the change in
moisture content over two consecutive 30-second periods (i.e., over a
period of 1 minute) falls below the specified conditions for automatic
ending. Automatic ending conditions may be specified in 0.01-percent
increments anywhere in a range from 0.01 to 0.1 percent. Specifying a
smaller percentage causes measurements to closely approach a point of
equilibrium, but more time is required for measurement. Specifying a
higher percentage lessens the amount of time required for measurement,
but measuring is stopped while there is still a wide variation in
measurements. The automatic ending conditions should be specified in
accordance with your objectives and the type of sample being measured.

Display Key(s) used Operating instructions
With the display of the weight in grams, press the
CONDITION
key.
If a password has been specified, the message ‘PASS’ will be
displayed to indicate that the password should be entered. Use
the
key, key and
ENTER
key to enter the password. Follow
the instructions under step

The ‘CONDITIONS’ display area will begin to flash. Press the
SELECT
key until ‘MODE’ begins to flash.
With the ‘MODE’ display flashing, press the
ENTER
key. This will
cause control to shift to measuring mode selection and for the
currently specified measuring mode to begin flashing.
Press the
SELECT
key repeatedly until ‘AUT’ begins to flash.
* Since ‘AUT’ will already be flashing at the point, proceed directly
to the next step.
When ‘AUT’ begins to flash, press the
ENTER
key. This will cause the
automatic end conditions (i.e., amount of change in moisture
content per 30 seconds) setting to become active and it begins
flashing.
Press the key or key to select the automatic end
conditions. Note that here we specify a setting of 0.10 percent.
When the desired automatic end conditions setting flashes, press
the
ENTER
key. The automatic end conditions setting will change
from a flashing to a constantly lit display and ‘MODE’ will begin to
flash again.
If you wish to specify other measuring conditions settings, press
the
SELECT
key to select the setting to be specified. To exit from
specifying measuring conditions settings, press the
CONDITION
key
instead.
