Configuring Weighing Platforms
The A/D converter can now be treated like a standard weighing platform in
connection with the load sensor.
t Close the menu access switch (left position) and reattach the cap.

Once ADC configuration has been completed, an adjustment of the weighing
platform (calibration/adjustment and linearization) must be carried out
(see “Calibration/Adjustment without Weights").
Installation location in Germany An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D)": If during external
adjustment of weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data
– geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees N
– elevation: 513 m
is entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany.
Gravitational acceleration for “Germany (Zone D)" is 9.810 m/s

.
On delivery the geographical data for “Germany (Zone D)” is entered in the output
device.
It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)"
when adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany. Entering
exact geographical data will lead to a higher level of accuracy but will also restrict
the tolerance zone.
Setup information – It is only possible to enter geographical data when the menu access switch is
open.
– When the Service mode is active, geographical data can be entered in the
Setup menu under “WP-1" for the first weighing platform and under COm1 /
WP-2 for the second weighing platform. The settings are made in the
corresponding Setup menu under menu item 1.20.
– Either the “geographical latitude in degrees" (latitude menu item 1.20.1)
and “elevation in m above sea level" (elevation menu item 1.20.2) or the
value for gravitational acceleration (GRAVITY menu item 1.20.3).
Gravitational acceleration takes precedence over the geographical latitude and
elevation of the location: If it has been entered, input fields for latitude and
elevation show the values 99999.99 and 9999999 respectively. If only elevation
and latitude have been entered, 0000000 is displayed for gravitational
acceleration.

If you return to the highest level of the Setup menu without saving the
configuration parameters beforehand (menu item 1.20.4) any settings that
have been made will be deleted.
