3.5.2 Dynamic scale value switchover
With dynamic scale value switchover, the scale interval value can be changed depending
on the relevant measured object dimension, i.e., length, width, or height.
The change to the second scale interval value occurs separately for each dimensional
value once that dimension has reached the preset switchover point. It is therefore
possible to individually change scale values, i.e. if one dimension is greater or less than
the predefined switchover point, only the scale value for that dimension is changed.
For example, if the switchover point is defined for the length dimension, a length that
exceeds the switchover point will result in scale value 2 being applied to the length. Scale
value 1 will continue to apply to the determined width and height.
The switchover point is set during commissioning and cannot be changed when the
calibration switch is activated and locked (for information on the calibration switch, see
chapter 3.6.3 Alibi memory and firmware). Scale interval value 1 and scale interval value
2 must be documented on two separate information labels. Only scale interval values
based on the nominal operating conditions may be selected.
