If the scale is automatically calibrated using the load cell parameters and if
the scale is not installed exactly horizontally, you must subsequently enter
the inclination angle of the belt. The input is made in degrees.
A critically damped low-pass filter is provided to suppress interferences.

entry "0" means that the filter is switched off. The cut-off frequency can be
specified between 0.05 and 50.0 Hz.

The definition of the cut-off frequency is extremely important for suppress-
ing interferences. Defining the cut-off frequency defines the "speed" of the
scale's response to changes in the measured value. A value of 5 Hz, for
example, results in a relatively rapid response to a change in weight; a val-
ue of 0.5 Hz makes the scale "slower".
The weighing system offers following filters:
Belt load low pass filter

Belt speed low pass filter

Flow rate average filter

The number of the filter defines the effect of damping. The values 2, 4,
6, 8, and 10 can be set. The higher the selected order number, the
higher the damping effect of the filter.
