First four parameters
4) The scale shows ‘rd rt
rd rtrd rt
rd rt ’. The read rate is the number of internal reads per
second the scale performs. A higher setting will result in a faster responding
scale, but will also use the battery life more quickly. Press ZERO and PEAK
together to edit the read rate. Enter the read rate (1 to 7).
Note: When you plan to connect the TL6000 to a cabled or wireless TL6000
remote, set the read rate to (3) or less for best results.
