CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURATION  

 

5.1 CONFIGURATION 

OVERVIEW 

 

The scale contains three main setup menus: The Setup (“F”) menu configures the factory settings 
for your scale. The Remote (“R”) menu configures the settings for the remote scale. The User (“A”) 
menu configures the COM1 and COM2 serial communication ports and enables some user 
options. The Setup, Remote and User menus consist of several menu selections, each with its own sub-menu 
of choices.  
 
To set up the scale, you must first enter the appropriate menu mode. Once there, four of the front panel keys 
become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is used to save or SET the 
selections. 

 

5.2  SETUP (“F”) MENU

and return to “F” menu. To
