Changing Parameters
The scale setup is controlled by three groups of parameters that determine how the scale operates.
These three groups are user parameters, system parameters and factory parameters.
User parameters (01 - 23) can be changed in both user mode and system mode. They are easily ac-
cessed, without braking the seal or opening the scale housing, and control features such as function
selection, function configuration, auto-off and units at startup. The user parameters are included in
system mode for the convenience of the scale technician.
System parameters (30 - 39, C0 and C1) can be changed in system mode. They control functions that
the scale technician may need to change under unusual circumstances, such as the stable reading
configuration. Since these parameters can alter the accuracy of the scale, the seal has to be broken to
access system mode through test mode.
Factory parameters (40 - 99, A0 - A5, and B0) can be changed in factory mode. They control functions
that directly relate to the accuracy, capacity and divisions of the scale, and are rarely changed outside
of the factory. Factory parameters are usually only changed if a different capacity load cell is installed,
or if a non-standard configuration is desired. Since these parameters can alter the accuracy of the
scale, the seal has to be broken to access factory mode through test mode.
Each parameter has two components, the parameter keyword and the parameter value. The first two
digits are the keyword and determine which parameter is being viewed. The last three digits are the
parameter value and determine how the selected parameter is configured.
While each mode is accessed differently, all modes use the same keys to select and change the pa-
rameter settings, as follows.
To select the desired parameter keyword, use the keys as follows:
- increase the keyword by one
+
- decrease the keyword by one
To change a parameter value, use the keys as follows:
- increase the value by one
+
- increase the value by ten
- decrease the value by one
+
- decrease the value by ten
The arrows placed above the
key and below the
and
keys illustrate each key's function
when in any of the setup modes.
To save the last value changed it is necessary to advance to the next parameter before exiting
the current parameter setup mode.

Two key icons joined by a plus sign (

) means to press and hold the first key, press the
second key, and then release both keys.
