3.10 Setting/Removing Legal-For-Trade
The Valor 2000 can be used in Legal-For-Trade (LFT) mode, after being inspected and sealed
in accordance with local weights and measures or approval agency regulations. If the scale is
serviced and the LFT seal is broken, it must be re-inspected and re-sealed to be used again in
Legal-For-Trade mode.
Note:
In LFT mode, the following menus and settings are not accessible:
Calibration, Resolution, Unit, AZT, LFT.
To take the scale out of LFT mode, break the mechanical seal, remove the small cover on the
bottom of the scale. Then, during power-up, press and hold the recessed LFT Lock Switch on
the Bottom Housing. All menus will then be accessible.
LFT mode is set through a series of menu settings and a hardware “LFT switch” located on the
Bottom Housing. (Access to this switch may be denied using additional mechanical methods,
by local weights and measures or approval agency.) Follow these steps to set the scale for LFT
mode:
1. Calibrate the scale. (See Appendix A.)
2. To access the Service Menu, press and hold UNITS/Menu until MENU appears, then
release it. Press Yes. Then press No continuously until LFT appears. Press Yes.
Press No until End appears. Then press Yes to return to weighing mode.
3. Re-install the LFT Lock Switch Cover.
3.9 Replacing the Function Label
The Function Label may need to be replaced, either due to corrosion or wear. (See Chapter 5
for parts lists.) Use a broad knife to remove the label. Clean the glue residue from the Housing
surface. Then carefully place the new label where the old one was.
