10. EVENT COUNTERS
10.1 Event Counters
The Cardinal Model 190 has been designed with a Category 1 Event
Counter type of security seal. The 190 will display two event counters
that increment when a change is made to features that are required by
NTEP or OIML to be sealed. One counter is designated for calibration
parameters and one is designated for configuration changes as
required in NCWM Publication 14, 2007. Each event counter’s data is
maintained in non-volatile memory and can be viewed by a Weights
and Measures inspector.
The calibration event counter (CAL=) will be incremented once each
time Setup mode is entered and a change is made to at least one
calibration parameter (span adjustment, coarse zero adjustment, etc.).
Up to 10,000 calibration events can be counted.
The configuration event counter (CFg=) will be incremented once
each time Setup mode is entered and a change is made to at least
one configuration parameter. Up to 10,000 configuration events can
be counted.
