5 Operation
After applying power to a properly installed and configured device, the power-on tests are performed.
During these tests all the segments (indicating devices) on the display are turned on. After completition
of these tests the device performs initial zero setting, if configured. At the end, the weight display
appears.
The weight display is the primary display of the device. The measured weight values are displayed with
the unit of weight sign turned on (e.g. kg indicator). Other indicating devices which accompany the
weight value are explained in the introduction chapter of this manual.
5.1 Weighing with tare
In order to tare the weight on the platform, press the key. The indicated weight value is saved as
tare value and the indication switches to net mode. The “NET” symbol indicates this situation. To save
the weighing result and get a printout press the key. To cancel the tare and return to gross
weighing mode press the key again or unload the platform and press the key. Unstable and
negative weight values can not be tared.
5.2 High resolution display
This function needs the function key configured for high resolution display.
It is possible to temporarily display measured weight values in 10-fold increased resolution. To perform
this function press the key. The indicated weight value is displayed in high resolution for 5
seconds. At the end of this period, the indication returns to normal resolution mode automatically. It is
also possible to turn off high resolution mode by pressing the key without waiting for 5 seconds.
5.3 Multi range weighing
If the device is configured as a multi-range instrument, the range which is currently active is indicated
on the display by “R1” or “R2” indicators. Range selection from the smaller range (R1) to the greater
range (R2) is performed automatically when the indicated load exceeds the maximum capacity of the
smaller range. Range selection from the greater range (R2) to the smallest range (R1) is performed
automatically when indication is zero or at a negative net value equal to gross zero, or manually when
the key is pressed when there is no load. Tare is cancelled automatically.
