If you have sufficient time to recharge frequently and use the scale often, you may
select longer on-times or continuous-on. If you use the scale briefly or infrequently,
shorter on- times are more desirable for longer battery life.
The ON/RESTART button will always act as an on/off control. When the unit is off, the
ON/RESTART turns the scale on for the specified period of time. The scale remains on
until the ON/RESTART is pressed and held for 2-3 seconds, turning the scale off, or
until the timer times out. If the ON/RESTART button is pressed momentarily,
depending on the setting of the "On-Timer", the timer will either be reset or the scale will
shut off (ON setting).
3.4.8 Operating Mode (oP)
Function Option Description
oP Std Standard (not Legal for Trade)
44 HB44 (Legal for Trade)
CAn Canadian Weights and Measures (Legal for Trade)
The Operating Mode defines whether or not the 8000 will operate in a "Legal for Trade"
mode. In the "44" (Legal for Trade) mode, the 8000's ZERO button and "Auto Zero
Tracking" function will only zero out up to 1.9% of the scale's capacity in compliance
with the NIST Handbook 44. The reference point for this 1.9% band is the calibrated
zero or empty platform value.
Care should be taken to make sure that the scale platform is empty when the scale is
turned on to insure proper operation of the ZERO button. In addition, when either the
"44" or the "CAN" mode is selected, the "lb & oz" weight display mode is disabled, since
it is not recognized as a "Legal for Trade" weight display unit.
Also, when the "44" mode is selected, the total number of displayed graduations is
limited to 3000, otherwise 3000 or 6000 graduations are allowed. In the "CAN" mode, if
3000 divisions is selected, the total number of displayed divisions is limited to 3000, and
if 6000 divisions is selected, the total number of divisions is limited to 6000. The
extended resolution selection (10000 divisions) is not a legal for trade setting.
When the "Std" mode is selected, the ZERO button and "Auto Zero Tracking" function
will work through the full capacity of the scale. The "lb & oz" weight display will also
function normally, if selected.
