Enunciator 

MEANING 

0

 

Better  known  as  the  “Center  of  Zero”  enunciator,  this  light  is  active 
whenever the displayed weight is within ± 0.25 divisions of true zero. 

Indicates that the indicator is displaying net weight/force. 

Indicates that the indicator is displaying gross weight/force. 

Indicates that a tare weight/force has been established in the system. 

Lb/kg 

Indicates the unit of the displayed weight/force (normally disabled). 

bAtt 

Indicates a low battery condition. Replace the alkaline battery. 

Indicates stable weighing. 

VB2 Enunciator Definitions

 Shown above is the LCD display. Before reading the value the stable indicator must be ”on”. 

If not wait a few seconds until it appears.

 

Handling

 

1. Press 

ON

 to start the Force Meter.

2. If necessary, press 

ZERO

 to obtain a weight/force reading of zero.

3. Press 

OFF

 to switch off the Force Meter. Hold 3 seconds.

4. The Force Meter switches off automatically after 20 minutes when not in use

Force measuring. 

1. Unload Force Meter and press 

ZERO

.

2. Place the object on the Force Meter’s platter and allow the force indication to stabilize. If the item force exceeds the

Force Meter’s capacity, it displays “

”. Press 

TARE

 to zero the Force Meter. The display shows zero force

and turns the NET enunciator on.

3.

NET/GROSS

 toggles between Gross and Net weight/force display only if a Tare has been established.

General advice 

When the Force Meter is not in use and is transported between different working places we recommend to use a case or any 
other protection against vibrations and other hard environmental conditions. Protect the Force Meter with a transparent 
plastic bag if there is any risk of leakage or when working in a wet environment.
