Introduction 

Veteks new VB2 series of Weighingblocks are rugged digital Force Meter made in strong aluminum. It comes standard with a large 
(.75") LCD screen for easy readout. All setup parameters may be entered via the membrane panel keys. The Force Meter has an 
”intelligent” auto power off function.  

The Force Meter is developed for general force measuring The setup parameters are altered through the Setup menu while a 
few other parameters are altered through the User menu. The configuration section of the manual explains how to use

Force Meter will turn off.  

Keyboard functions

 

The calibration switch besides the battery is only for calibration.

 

Indicator ON 

Normally disabled. 

Toggles between Gross and Net

 weight/force display only if a Tare has been established. 

Sets Force Meter to display "0"

 when in Gross mode, and within zero band range. 

When pushed in
