Configuring Weighing Platforms
Setting Parameters for ADC Configuration
Standard or verifiable configuration In ADC configuration, you must first select whether the weighing platform should
be configured as a standard or verifiable (for use in legal metrology) weighing
platform.
– Standard configuration STANDRD (9.1.3)
– Verifiable configuration VERIF. (9.1.4)
Configuration unit 1.WT.UNIT Menu item 1.7
The weight unit used in the ADC configuration must have previously been selected
here.
Range selection RANGE Menu item 11.3
Depending on the setting under this menu item, the Menu items 11.5, 11.6 and
11.7 will either be displayed or will not be displayed for further configurations.
– Single-range scale (11.3.1)
The entire weighing capacity is divided into decimal numbers dependent on the
smallest scale interval d and the maximum weight. The readability corresponds
to the scale interval d.
– Multiple-range scale (11.3.2)
A multiple-range scale has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit
for the lower weighing range is exceeded, the scale switches into the next
highest weighing range (lower resolution). The scale only switches back to the
lower weighing range (higher resolution) when the weighing platform has been
completely unloaded after pressing the key (.
– Multi-interval scale (11.3.3)
The function “Multi-interval scale" divides the weighing capacity into a
maximum of three ranges with differing readability. The corresponding change
takes place automatically at the defined range limits. Once the scale has been
tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the weighing platform
is loaded.
Scale interval d Scale interval d indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument.
The scale interval can only be entered in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc.
When “Verifiable configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. When
using verifiable or verified weighing platforms (classes l and m), scale interval d is
the same as verification scale interval e.
Verification scale interval e Verification scale interval e indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument in
legal metrology.
The scale interval can only be entered in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc.
When “Standard configuration" is used, this menu item is not displayed.
Maximum load (max. load) The maximum load is the maximum amount of weight that may be placed on the
weighing platform. When heavier weights are used the weighing instrument
displays overload “H".
The scale intervals of the weighing instrument are calculated using the maximum
load and the scale interval d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg, smallest scale interval
d = 0.005 kg yields 3000 scale intervals).
In legal metrology the total number of intervals must be no more than 3000 e, and
when using multi-interval scales there must not be more than 3000 e intervals per
range.
In standard operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can define a “Super
Range” weighing instrument of over 3000 intervals. These parameters, however,
may be influenced by physical restrictions.
