Hold (Dynamic Weighing) Mode Hold (Dynamic Weighing) Mode Hold (Dynamic Weighing) Mode Hold (Dynamic Weighing) Mode
The hold or dynamic weighing function allows weighing of moving objects, such as live animals, by freezing the display value to a
steady weight; it would otherwise be unsteady due to object movement. This function can be used in normal weighing mode,
counting mode, and percent weighing mode.
1. To enter HOLD

HOLD mode, press and release the HOLD

/SETUP key.
2. Place the material or object to be weighed onto the scale platform. The HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD indicator on the display will flash for up to 3
seconds. It will then stop flashing and the weight will be displayed.
3. The material or object can be removed and the next item can be weighed without pressing any buttons.
4. To exit HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD mode, press and release the HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD/SETUP /SETUP /SETUP /SETUP key.
The default hold mode described above is AUTO HOLD
AUTO HOLD AUTO HOLD
AUTO HOLD. Within this mode, the scale will capture the fluctuating weight data at a rate
of 10Hz during the data collection time (default of 3 seconds). It will then display the average value once the scale has reached
stability (HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD no longer flashes).
To reach stability, the weight must be greater than the minimum HOLD
HOLD HOLD
HOLD weight (default of 10d, where d = the scale’s readability,
see specifications) and the fluctuation must be within the HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD range (default of 5d). Once the held weight has been reached, a
new weight will automatically register only if the weight has changed by more than the HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD range. If a stable value is not
reached within the stabilization time (default of 9 seconds), the scale will display “STB.ER
STB.ER STB.ER
STB.ER”. Press the TARE/PRESET

The values of the above parameters can be changed from their defaults within User Setup
User Setup User Setup
User Setup mode. The following additional HOLD
modes are also available through User Setup User Setup User Setup User Setup mode.
Positive Peak HOLD mode – Holds and displays the largest positive value from the zeroed point. In Peak HOLD mode, both
PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK and HOL HOL HOL HOLD DD D indicators on the display will be lit.
Negative Peak HOLD mode – Holds and displays the largest negative value from the zeroed point. This mode has limited
practical value, but is available for specialized applications. In Peak HOLD mode, both PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK and H HH HOLD OLD OLD OLD indicators on the
display will be lit.
Toggle HOLD mode - Holds and displays an instantaneous value. Pressing HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD/SETUP /SETUP /SETUP /SETUP while the weight is fluctuating will
capture and display the value at that moment, but not an average, maximum, or minimum value. Pressing HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD/SETUP /SETUP /SETUP /SETUP
again will exit HOLD and return to the fluctuating value.
Average HOLD mode - Holds and displays an average value. The scale will capture the fluctuating weight data during the
data collection time and display the average value once the scale has reached stability. This is similar to the default AUTO
HOLD mode, but where the material or object can be removed and the next item can be weighed without pressing any
buttons in AUTO HOLD mode, Average HOLD mode requires the HOLD HOLD HOLD HOLD/SETUP /SETUP /SETUP /SETUP key to be pressed each time and pressed
again to exit.
