Auto Shut-Off
Auto Shut-Off allows you to set your scale to automatically shut off when a preset time limit has been reached and there has been no
activity on the scale. This feature is mainly used on battery pack equipped scales to prevent the battery from inadvertently being deep
discharged. Auto Shut-Off can also work on non-battery equipped scales but its operation is slightly different. In a battery equipped
scale the unit will completely shut down and the display will blank. The scale can later be turned on again using the normal means. On
non-battery equipped scales, the display will blank but the scale will remain in the same condition as when it shut down. Zero, active
tare and active parts counting sample as well as the current screen will all be retained. Pressing any key will return the scale to its
normal operating mode.
An inactive scale can be defined as no keys being pressed, and there has been no activity on the platform. It should be noted that
anything that causes a small increase or decrease in the platform reading will be considered an active platform. Avoid vibrating
surfaces, digital filtering constants of non-factory default values, or anything else that causes the platform reading to drift if this
feature is used.
To configure Auto Shut-Off, go to the menu SETUP MENU/SYSTEM/AUTO SHUT-OFF. There are two settable options available.

ACT

TIME
Is the time, in minutes, that the unit will shutoff due to inactivity. Any time from 1 to 25 minutes can be
used.
Decimal Truncation
This function allows you to truncate the least significant decimal place from the displayed weight. This does not affect the readability
and the accuracy of the scale. It also does not affect the weight outputs to the various communication options.
