Basic Operation
Applying Power to the Scale
The scale does not have an On/Off switch because it is preferable to keep
power on the scale at all times. Constant power generates heat that will
prevent moisture from condensing in the scale.
♦ Therefore, for initial start of the scale, simply plug the electrical cord
into the nearest suitable power outlet. For a battery operated scale,
attach the battery holder to the M1100 Indicator.
After power has been applied, the software version and the status of the
Cal/Con event counters appear briefly on the Weight Display and a light
test of the display is run. If the adjustment seal that prohibits modification
of calibration and configuration parameters has been applied, the
message
appears briefly on the Config Display.
The scale then sets the initial zero (the message
appears on the
Config Display), returns to Operating Mode, and is ready for use.
Note: The event counters change whenever the configuration is
modified and when the scale is calibrated. The counters can therefore be
used to check if an unauthorized calibration has taken place.
Operation
The M1100 scale is very easy to use. The scale has up to fifteen packing
memories, each of which can be programmed with the following
information:
• Unit of weight (kg, g, lb, oz. lb and oz can be disabled)
• Lower weight limits
• Upper weight limits
