Impact Detection Function - A&D GX-M Series Instruction Manual

7. Impact Detection Function

The GX-M / GF-M series has a function to detect impact to the mass sensor section and to display
the impact level.
By lowering the impact level at the time of loading, it is possible not only to alleviate variation in the
weighing value but also to reduce the risk of failure of the mass sensor section.
Especially when incorporating the balance in a production line, etc. and weighing by means such as
an automated system, impact to the sensor may be applied greater than expected.
When designing automatic systems and the like, it is recommended that you minimize the impact
level as much as possible while checking the shock indicator.
Impact level display is from level 0 to level 4, 5level.

Note
□ Impact on the weighing sensor may be applied to the weighing pan at time of loading, or it may be
applied from the table on which the balance is installed.
The impact detection function also works for impact applied from the table.
