    INTRODUCTION This manual was created to help you install and learn all about the functional possibilities of the purchased indicator. The instrument is suitable for use in various weighing environments. Not only does it have all the normal features of high-precision scales, but it also gives you the possibility to work in specific environments due to the functioning modes contained in the software implemented in the FLASH MEMORY on the internal board.
  • Page 8 INTRODUCTION Do not install in any area where there is a risk of explosion. The crossed-out wheeled bin on the product means that at the product end of life, it must be taken to separate collection or to the reseller when a new equivalent type of equipment is purchased.

    DOSAGE A variable value from 1 to 100 represents the correction percentage which will be summed to the following cycle (for example, 50 causes the adding or the subtraction to the current flight weight of 50% of the previously calculated difference; in this way the correction will be buffered and less fast). Higher is the set value, and quicker will be the flight weight correction in the following dosage;...
