8.10 WEIGHT PEAKS DETECTION ()
It is possible to use the instrument to store the maximum weight value measured during the weigh (PEAK),
useful to measure, for example, the breaking load of the materials.
By pressing the MODE key, the peak mode is enabled; on the LED display the maximum weight reached will
be displayed, alternated with the message ””, every 5 sec.
The test terminates by pressing the MODE key again or when the weight peak surpasses the maximum
capacity of the instrument (for an instant “”is displayed and the indicator returns to standard
operation).
8.10.1 SETTING SAMPLING TIME
It is possible to set the minimum time period of the peak impulse beyond which the measuring is accepted.
This time is set by keeping “ENTER/PRINT” pressed for a few seconds when the indicator is not in the peak
mode: the message –– appears on the display followed by a number which corresponds to the minimum
time length of the impulse expressed in hundredths of seconds.
By pressing “ZERO” or “TARE” the following settable values are proposed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and
127; press “ENTER/PRINT” to confirm the desired value, (the indicator will return to weighing). The default
value is 2.
TABLE OF OPERATING PARAMETERS IN PEAK MODE
When enabling the PEAK mode, it’s possible that the displayed weight isn’t really the one on the scale.
Greater the number of samplings per second, and greater is the weight that can be shown on the display.
E.g. if 0.000Kg is on the scale and the sampling time is equal to 1, when the PEAK mode is enabled, 0.034Kg
could be displayed.
