AUTOMATIC UPDATING OF UNIT WEIGHT After having effected the sampling, it is possible to update the average unit weight as follows : Intell-Lab™ instead of loading all the pieces to count, load a number of pieces equal to the double of the one loaded on the pan. Wait for all the arrows to be displayed followed by a short acoustic message.

DETERMINATION OF SOLID DENSITY FOR BALANCES WITH PROPER OPTIONAL SOFTWARE * Balance program allows to determine solid density through four steps: TARE IN AIR; TARE IN WATER; SOLID WEIGHING IN AIR; SOLID WEIGHING IN WATER. STORAGE OF TARE IN AIR Tare in air (weight of the small basket in air) is about zeroing of small basket weight in air.

SERIAL INTERFACE RS 232 1) General characteristics The balance sends the value displayed in serial form RS232C, allowing to print weight on PC monitor or on a serial printer. In case of connection with PC, it is also able to get commands, always in RS232C format, that allow to effect all operations with balance keys through PC keyboard.
