SEALING THE INDICATOR (LEGAL FOR TRADE)
Electronic Seal
Calibration and configuration settings are electronically sealed with a password.
This safeguard helps prevent accidental or unauthorized alteration of important
scale settings.
The M1 features a Category 1 Audit Trail System for recording changes in
calibration. Two counters are utilized:
Calibration Counter: Increments by 1 whenever the scale is deadloaded
or calibrated.
Configuration Counter: Increments by 1 whenever changes are made to
parameters affecting scale setup.
The counters increment for each Calibration Mode session where parameters are
changed. Multiple changes may be made for each counter increase, but simply
entering and exiting Calibration Mode does not increment the counters. The
counters will count from 0 to 999 before rolling over to 0 again.
The counters can be accessed at any time by pressing the TARE and PRINT
keys together in Weighing Mode.
The Calibration audit counter and Configuration audit count will alternate on the
display until the CLEAR key is pressed.
Important Note: Because the Audit Trail becomes active during
factory testing, the Calibration and Configuration Counters may
not be 0 when the indicator is new out of the box.
IMPORTANT! If the password is forgotten, Calibration Mode will
be inaccessible. Record ALL password changes and alert the
customer. If the password is lost, call the factory for assistance.
