1.6 Conversion Factors for Secondary
Units
The 420 Plus has the capability to mathematically
convert a weight into many different types of units and
instantly display those results with a press of the
key.
Secondary units can be specified on the FORMAT
menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by using EDP
commands.
Note
• Multipliers are preconfigured within the
indicator. Manual entry is only necessary when
NONE is selected under UNITS. Long tons
and grain units listed in Table 1-6 cannot be
directly specified as primary or secondary
units. For these or other unlisted units of
weight, specify NONE under UNITS.
• Ensure that the secondary decimal point
position is set appropriately for the scale
c ap a ci ty in the s ec o nda r y u nit s. I f t he
converted value requires more digits than are
available, the indicator will display an
overflow message (
• For example, if the primary units are short
tons, secondary units are pounds, and the
secondary decimal point is set to 8888.88, the
indicator will overflow if 5 tons or more are
applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a
conversion factor of 2000, the secondary units
display needs five digits to the left of the
de c im a l p oi n t to d i sp l a y th e 1 00 0 0 lb
secondary units value.
