Comparator function
It is possible to preset threshold values (limits) and determine whether or not a measured value is
within the range defined by the preset values.
Refer to “5 Preset tare and Comparator setting” to preset the threshold values.
The comparator function can be used in Weighing mode, Percentage mode, Counting mode, and
Multiplied by Coefficient mode.

How to perform discrimination
Switch to the “Comparator indication” according to “2-5-4 Functional keys switching at each measuring
mode”. Whether the weight of a sample to be weighed is “LOW” (lower than the lower limit), “OK”
(appropriate) or “HIGH” (higher than the upper limit), is indicated on the LCD with “16-segment
messages”.

The discrimination is performed according to the following criteria:
- Absolute value: The discrimination is performed based on the upper and lower limit values that have
been set in advance.
- Relative value: A reference numeric value is set in advance, and the discrimination is performed
based on the range defined by the upper and lower limit values that have been set
for the reference numeric value.

Two-point (upper and lower limits) setting, Reference value = 1000.0 g,
Lower limit value = 900.0 g, Upper limit value = 1200.0 g
