For dynamic scale value switchover, the scale values for two scale interval values used 
must be described in two separate information labels. For scale interval value 1, the 

NSDS

 operating mode and the 

dynamic

 option need to be marked on the system 

information label. The dimension values with unit of measurement (

mm

 or 

inch

) must be 

specified in indelible ink. On the information label for scale interval value 2, the 

dynamic

 

scale value and the measuring unit (

mm

 or 

inch

) with the accompanying dimension 

values must be specified. 
The type labels for the SIM2000 system controller, the APU8250 dimensioning controller 
as well as the 2D LiDAR sensor must be affixed to the corresponding fields of the 
metrology information label.
