Auto Zero
Allows a zero calibration to be performed automatically in
RUN
mode when the load drops below
the preset amount (P371) of design for 1 complete calibration period (P360).
Auxiliary Inputs
Can be programmed to allow the use of an external contact to provide the following functions,
display scroll, totalizer 1 reset, Zero, Span, Multispan, Print, Batch reset, or PID functions.
Batching
The accumulation of a predetermined quantity of material.
Contacts
A junction of electrical conductors in open (not connected) or closed (connected) states.
Damping
Provides control over the speed at which the displayed rate, load, speed readings, and output
functions are updated in response to changes in the internal rate signals.
Design Rate
This is the maximum material flow rate for this particular application (100% full scale).
Differential Speed
Difference in speed at two points in a mechanical system.
Direct Span
If replacing software or hardware, this allows the entry of the previously recorded span value.
Direct Zero
If replacing software or hardware, this allows the entry of the previously recorded zero value.
