Setting the Input Units (
units
)
Enter the pre-defined engineering unit or custom unit. The pre-defined units have automatic conversion
factors. This unit will be displayed if
d unit
is selected as the lower display parameter. See the flow chart
on page 34 to access the display menu to show the unit on the lower display.
The custom unit may also be used to enter a display tag.
Pre-defined engineering units
: lb, kg, ounce, gram, ton (short), tonne (metric ton). The meter converts
the reading according to the unit selected (e.g. 100.00 lb = 45.36 kg = 45359.2 g = 1600 oz).
Unit Conversions:
After scaling values in the
Scale
menu have been entered during setup, automatic
unit conversions are done when switching from any standard unit to any other standard unit during future
changes of the
Units
menu.
Once a standard unit has been selected in the units menu, the user must then set their scaling values for
that unit (under the setup menu) in order for that unit's conversion factor to take effect. Otherwise, the
meter will allow the user to freely switch between standard unit selections, without applying a conversion
factor.
Note that if the dual-scale feature is selected in the
Setup
menu, both PV1 and PV2 will be converted
from the original standard unit to the new standard unit. A scaled PV not scaled for the selected units
must be reprogrammed.
Example
: If PV 1 is scaled for pounds, and PV 2 scaled for gallons; if the
Units
selection is changed from
Lb
to
ounce
, PV 2 will need to re-scaled manually back to gallons.
Note: PV1 and PV2 may use different standard units as starting points, however the user must select the
unit and complete scaling for both PV1 and PV2 individually. For example, set PV1 equal to "Lbs" and
complete the scaling for PV1 only. PV1 is now reading in Lbs. Then, change the units for PV2 to be "Kg"
and complete the scaling for PV2. PV2 will read in kilograms and PV1 will reflect the conversion from Lbs
to Kgs.
