Minimum Load
The minimum load required for
initialization of the averaging routine
is configured in the operating menu,
under:
appl1:
anim.wg: 3.6.
Setting a minimum load for averaging
can be especially useful if you configure
automatic start of measurement.
The minimum load required for auto-
matic taring of the container weight
on the platform (“autotare first
weight”), or for automatic printout of
results, is configured in the operating
menu, under:
Appl: a.tare: 3.5.
You can choose from the following
10 levels for this setting:
1 digit
2 digits
5 digits
10 digits
20 digits
50 digits
100 digits
200 digits
500 digits
1000 digits
The “digits” here refer to the scale
intervals in the connected weighing
platform. If the interval of the connect-
ed platform is 1 g, for example, and
1000 digits are required, you must
place at least 1000 g (=1000 intervals
=1000 digits) on the weighing platform
to start the averaging routine.
Starting the Measurements
The averaging routine does not begin
until the fluctuation in weight value
remains below a defined threshold over
three consecutive measurements. The
tolerance limit is defined as a percent-
age of the animal or object weight
(for example, 0.1%; 0.2%; ...; 50%;
100%), configured in the operating
menu, under:
appl1:
anim.wg: 3.19.
If the “Animal activity” parameter is
set to 2%, for example, and the animal
or object weighs 10 kg, measurement
does not begin until the fluctuation in
weight value remains below 200 g
during three consecutive measurements.
Display
A calculated average value is shown
continuously on the main display.
The
a symbol (indicating a calcu-
lated value) is also displayed.
You can toggle between this display
and a readout of the current weight
on the scale by pressing the w key.
In the operating menu, under:
appl1:
anim.wg: 3.21.
you can select “Display is static until
unload threshold reached” to have
the display switch automatically to the
weight readout when you unload the
weighing platform (i.e., when the load
is less than half the minimum load).
The result of the most recent averaging
operation is not saved.
If you select “Display is static until
c is pressed,” the calculated average
remains displayed even after the
weighing platform is unloaded, until
you press the c key or begin
a new measurement.
