14.6 Animal Weighing
Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU
Designed for weighing live animals. Select menu item
to activate Animal Weighing mode. Also,
optimize the operational condition (See the following), “Stability Detection Band (
)” and “Timing
of Stability Mark Illumination and Data Output (
)” depending on the size and movement of the
weighed animal.
If you weigh rats or mice, refer to the below table showing the typical settings to obtain optimal accu-
racy and efficiency.
Recommended Settings for Rat and Mouse
Operational condition selection according to the level of animal’s movement.
Depending on the level of animal’s movement, operational condition (response and stability) can be
optimized within Animal Weighing mode. At zero display in Animal Weighing mode, operational condi-
tions can be switched using only the
[UNIT]
key. Select the optimal operational condition by observing
the response and stability of measurement.
(Operational Conditions)
Cond 2 and Cond 3 are not suitable for weighing animals lighter than the respectively specified in the
above. When lighter animals are weighed with these settings, the zero return after removing the animal
may be very slow
(Switching operational conditions)
Every time the
[UNIT]
key is pressed at the zero display in Animal Weighing mode, the operational
condition will be changed in the following order: [Cond 1]
→
[Cond 2]
→
[Cond 3]
→
[Cond 1].
Upon
[UNIT]
key is pressed, the new operational condition is briefly displayed. Thereafter, the confir-
mation of the operational condition setting can be made observing the position of the
W
symbol in the
right end of the display.
