Initializing the Micro-Tech
Acquiring Basic System Data
Thermo Fisher Scientific Micro-Tech 9101/9201 Reference Manual, Rev J 2-5
You are now ready to measure the belt speed of your conveyor system.
Go to page 2-10.
Here is a list of belt-scale codes for pivoting scales. (For a complete list
of belt-scale codes, see
Table A–1 in Appendix A.)

Pivoting belt-scale codes*: 0–42, 54–59.
(* Please note that this is not an exhaustive list, because newer or
custom scales are not listed.)
We suggest you print or photocopy this page and insert the required data into the table below.
Doing so will save you considerable time when you come to initialize the Micro-Tech software.

* The example above, including the defaults, is for belt-scale code 1. Your weighing system will,
most likely, have a slightly
different list of required parameters and defaults.
