Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)
Purpose Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or
weighing platform. After ADC conguration, the ADC in connection with the load
sensor is dened as a scale.

Once the ADC conguration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used
to inuence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing
instrument is dened by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be
activated include reading weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value,
saving/deleting the tare entry.
Setup Information – ADC conguration is only possible when the menu access switch is open.
Re-close the menu access switch after ADC conguration.
– Before ADC conguration, you must rst set whether or not the weighing
platform will be used as a standard or veriable weighing platform.
– ADC conguration is carried out in the Service mode in the Setup menu under
“WP 1“ for the rst weighing platform and “WP 2“ for the second.
– Entries made in ADC conguration will not be aected by a menu reset
(returning the setup parameters to their factory settings).
See also the overview in the “Setup Menu for A/D Converter Conguration“ section.
Setting Parameters for ADC Conguration
Standard or Veriable Congurations In ADC conguration, you must rst select whether the weighing platform should
be congured as a standard or veriable (for use in legal metrology) weighing
platform.
– Standard conguration “Standard“
– Veriable conguration “Verifiable“
Select using the “Q“ or “q“ soft key. Press the “O“ soft key to conrm the setting
and open the Conguration menu.
Accuracy Class This menu item is not shown when the Standard conguration is active. When
the Veriable conguration is active (for weighing platforms veried or veriable
for use in legal metrology), only Class l/m can be selected. Activate the
“Accuracy class“ menu item, select “Class III/IIII“ and
conrm your selection using the “l“ soft key.
Ranges The capacity of the weighing platform can be divided into multiple ranges:
– “Single-range mode“:
The entire weighing range is divided into scale intervals on the basis of the
lowest interval d and the maximum load.
– “Multi-interval mode“:
The “Multi-interval mode” function divides the weighing capacity into as
many as four ranges, each with a dierent readability. Corresponding changes
take place automatically. Once the scale has been tared, the highest possible
resolution is available even if the weighing platform is loaded with a higher
weight. This is only permitted in the accuracy classes l/m for the veriable
conguration.
– “Multiple-range mode“:
Multiple-range mode has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit
is exceeded, the scale switches into the next highest weighing range (lower
resolution) and remains there. The scale can be returned to the lower weighing
range (higher resolution) only by pressing the ( key and then unloading the
scale.
