Animal Weighing/Averaging
Menu code: Code 2 1 7 *
Display symbol: V
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g., live
animals) or to determine weights under
unstable ambient conditions. With this
program, the balance calculates the
weight as the average of a defined
number of individual weighing opera-
tions (also referred to as “subweighing
operations").
Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Minimum load threshold for starting
animal weighing:
– for automatic start:
100 display intervals
– for manual start:
50 display intervals
– Automatic start:
Begin the averaging operation by
pressing (F). “AUTO” is displayed
during weighing to indicate that
the following values will be averaged
automatically.
Animal activity: Averaging begins
automatically once two subweights are
measured within a predefined tolerance
range (calm = 2%, normal = 5%,
active = 20%).
– Number of weighing operations for
calculation of an average mDef can be
set before the beginning of each series.
* =not available for CPA…-PCE models
– Number of remaining weighing
operations in the current series is shown
during weighing.
– Arithmetic average displayed as a result
in the pre-set weight unit (identified by
G). The V symbol flashes during this
time.
– Toggling between weighed and
calculated results by pressing (F)
(after initialization)
– Unload threshold is one-half of the
minimum load.
– Balance/scale returns to the basic
weighing mode when unloaded;
i.e., when the load is below the unload
threshold
Function Keys

Changing the number of subweighing
operations:
§ Press and hold (F) (2 sec.)
> Current number of subweighing
operations is displayed.
$ Press (F) briefly to change the value;
press repeatedly until the desired
number is displayed.
Quantities to choose from: 5, 10, 20,
50, 100.
