Checkweighing  
Application O
  With the Checkweighing application, 
you can check whether the sample on 
the weighing platform matches a target 
value or lies within a given tolerance 
range.  
Checkweighing also makes it easy to fill 
sample materials to a specified target 
weight. 
 Characteristics

 3 only:
–  Enter the nominal or target weight (set 
point) and the tolerance range delimiters 
either using the keypad or by saving the 
weight value of a load on the platform.
–  Enter the tolerance limits as absolute 
values (Min and Max) or as percentages 
of the target. For Signum 3, additional 
user-defined percent limits (4.5.3) or 
relative limits (4.5.4.) can be entered.
  Configured in the menu under:

–  The target value can be taken over 
as a weighed value from a weighing 
platform, and the upper and lower 
tolerance limits are defined as a 
percentage deviation from the target 
value (setting code 4.5.2). The deviation 
percentage can be changed using the 
r key: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 
2%, 3%, 5% or 10%.
–  The target value, lower tolerance limit 
(minimum) and upper tolerance limit 
(maximum) can applied as weighed 
values from the weighing platform.
–  Target and tolerance limits checked 
during input; values must conform to: 
upper limit > target > lower limit > 1 
digit.
–  Checkweighing range: either 30% to 
170% of the target, or from 10% to 
infinity.
–  Results are shown on the main display as 
a colored bar graph (yellow, green, red) 
as well as sent to control output ports 
for further processing.
–  Toggle the main display between weight 
and tolerances limits by pressing the 
w key. If the weight in the readout is 
outside the tolerance range, “LL” (too 
low) or “HH” (too high) is displayed.

–  Tare function:
1) If you store a tare (weight value) 
by pressing the ) key, you can later 
enter a value manually. The value you 
enter is added to the stored tare value. 
Setting: menu code 3.25.1 (factory 
setting)
2) A value entered manually overwrites 
a stored tare value (weight value).
If you enter a value manually, a tare 
value (weight value) stored later 
overwrites the manually entered value.

  Checkweighing entails comparing the 
current weight value to a defined target. 
You can enter the value for this target using 
the keypad, or by saving the weight value 
indicated. You can also define upper and 
lower tolerance limits based on this target. 
You can do this by:
–  Entering absolute values using the keypad or 
placing the desired amount of weight on the 
platform and saving the value, or
–  entering each value as a percentage of the 
target weight
  The initialization data remains valid until 
deleted by pressing the c key or until 
overwritten by a new value. They remain 
saved after the scale is switched off.
