RECOMMENDED SCALE CONFIGURATION VALUES
NAME/CODE
DESCRIPTION
RECOMMENDED
VALUE
F1: GRADUATIONS
Specifies the number of full-scale graduations. Value should be
consistent with legal requirements and environmental limits on the
useful system resolution.
5000
F2: SPAN GAIN
Span Gain is related to A/D integration time. The larger the span
gain, the higher the internal resolution, but the slower the update
speed. Note that the scale must be re-calibrated whenever this
parameter is altered. See Appendix C in the scales manual for
more information.
100
F3: ZERO TRACK BAND
Selects the range within which the scale will automatically zero.
Note that the scale must be in a standstill to zero the scale.
3
F4: ZERO RANGE
Selects the range within which the scale may be zeroed. Note that
the indicator must be in standstill to zero the scale.
100
F5: MOTION BAND
Sets the level at which motion is detected by comparing the
present display update with the previous one. If motion is not
detected for two seconds or more, scale is in standstill and
can process a Print or Zero command. Maximum value varies
depending on local regulations.
1
F6: DIGITAL FILTER
Averages weight readings to produce higher stability but slower the
indicator’s response time. Choose 8 unless a very fast response is
needed.
8
F7: OVERLOAD LIMIT
Selects the desired formula which determines the point at which
the indicator shows overload. All selections are based on the
primary unit selected in F8.
2%
F8: CALIBRATION UNIT
Selects the primary base unit to be used in the calibration process.
Also the default unit for normal operation. 1 = pounds, 2 = kilograms.
1
F9: DISPLAY DIVISIONS
Determines the desired weight increments. Value should be
consistent with legal requirements.
1
F10: DECIMAL POINT
Determines the location of the decimal point.
0
F16: ZERO CALIBRATION
Places the scale in a Zero Calibration routine.
—
F17: SPAN CALIBRATION
Places the scale in a Span Calibration routine.
—
NOTE: Changing the scale parameters to values other than the recommended values may result in poor
scale operation.
