Weighing
Specifications for scale capacity, settling time, minimum and maximum static
weight, zeroing, and warm-up time are given below. For more information
regarding the topic:
Proper Weighing Technique (Scale Models), refer to the
Operation and Maintenance on page 49 section of this manual.
Rated Weight Capacity
The scale’s operational weight capacity is:
• 30.00 pounds, displayed in 0.01 increments
OR
• 15.000 kilograms
1
, displayed in 0.005 increments.
Minimum Weight
The minimum weight that can be accurately measured by the scale is 0.01 lb.
(0.005 kg).
Maximum Static Weight (Overload)
A maximum static weight of 150 pounds (68 kg) can be sustained by the scale
without incurring damage or degrading performance.
Automatic Zero Maintenance
The scale’s software constantly monitors and adjusts the Zero point as long as
the deviation is within acceptable limits
2
, while compensating for any debris
accumulation or removal. During power-up, the scale automatically re-zeros
after verifying that all subsystems are functional. Additionally, the scale may be
manually “zeroed” by pushing the Scale Zero Button located on the control
panel.
Scale Sentry
TM
Option
The optional ScaleSentry feature monitors items placed on the platter to ensure
they are not overhanging and touching non-weighing surfaces. If the system’s
infrared (IR) beams sense items encroaching past the sides of the weigh platter,
the speaker will sound a unique tone and/or the ScaleSentry LED indicator will
illuminate to indicate a ScaleSentry error condition. ScaleSentry optionally
blocks the transmission of weight to the host depending on how it is config
-
ured (see "Scale Sentry" starting on page 154). The scanner/scale can be pro-
grammed to just beep and/or light the LED if there is a ScaleSentry issue.

1. The scale can also be set at the factory for 9.99 kg max.
2. Acceptable limits of deviation are set at -0.2 to +0.6 pounds (-0.078kg to 0.23kg), which is -
0.67 to +2.0% of total capacity.
