Page 18
FLEX 2100 Formatting: Formatting defines the way that the weigher value will be shown. To change the formats of the indicator, press the “Formatting” button. Step size: The step size defines the scaled parts of the weight value. Example: Weigher value is 2003 kg Step size Display value 2003 kg...
Page 19
FLEX 2100 Example: The normal step size is per 1, Range =100 and Step=50. Indicator display Step size per 0-100 100-200 200-500 500-1000 1000-2000 2000-5000+ The maximum preset tare only works, and this is also the biggest value, to the first level of the autorange when the indicator is set to certified.
Page 20
FLEX 2100 Max load: To prevent overload by the user, the FLEX will not show any weight above this value. In certified mode the max load is not allowed to be more then the maximum load + 9 scale parts. Stable condition: The Flex will give a signal when the weigher value is stable within certain values.
Page 21
FLEX 2100 Sample rate: The sample rate defines the refreshment speed of the weighing signal. For example: If a weighing unit is filling bottles of milk with 1600 gram and the Sample rate is set to 1600 samples/sec the unit is able to fill this bottle in 1 second and see every gram of it, so a accuracy of +/- 1 gram has become possible.
Page 22
FLEX 2100 Filter: Filters are used because in an industrial environment there are always vibrations. - From machines in the building - Motors on the weighing device - Mixers - vibrators - screws - Etc. - From the buildings itself.

FLEX 2100 Calibration: Before an indicator can be used, the ADC (Analog Digital Converter) needs to be calibrated. This way it knows where to start and where to end. The ADC converts the analog output from the load cells to a digital signal, this signal is used for all different calculations and to make it ready for readable information on the display.
Page 25
FLEX 2100 Points: To add or replace new calibration points, press the “ Add/Replace” button. The first 4 fields will show the Weigher status (for explanation, see paragraph “show”) Add/Replace: If the indicator must be calibrated for the first time, its needed to delete the old calibration points first.
