Peak Hold Mode

The peak hold function is used to determine, display,
and print the greatest net weight read during a
weighing cycle.
A weighing cycle ends when the print command is
given, or when the peak net weight is manually
ZERO
cleared by the key. Peak hold tracks only net
weight and operates independently of the display. For
example, if the indicator is displaying gross weight,
but AUTO peak hold is active, the display will remain
in gross, but the net peak weight will be automatically
printed when standstill is achieved at net zero.
Peak hold function is enabled in the setup mode.
Parameter settings are found under the PK HOLD
submenu, in first level program menu.

This is the basic peak hold function in which a weight

weight can be displayed by toggling to the net mode

NOTE: A tare weight can be used with peak hold. At
the tare value, the highest peak hold is 0 net. Tare is
cleared by returning to gross zero and pressing the
key.

Bi-Dir (Bi-Directional Peak, Manual Reset)
This is the same as NORMAL parameter setting
(above), except that the peak can either be a positive
or negative number, determined by the absolute
weight value. This means that if a positive peak is
displayed, a negative weight value of greater absolute
value can update the peak information in the same
cycle. As above, the peak cycle is reset by pressing the
