Operation keys Power ON/OFF key Press this key to turn the power ON. To turn the power OFF, hold down this key until it does. If the upper and lower limits are set for the checkweighing function, the checkweighing function starts. Gross/Net switching key If you wish to confirm the gross weight with the tare function enabled, press this key to switch the indicated value between the gross and net weights.
3. How to use test mode and set the parameters 3-1. How to enter test mode To enter test mode, remove the sealing screws next to the battery box and press the deep-set switch inside the small round hole with a pointed nonconductive object. The panel will show decuple-precision weight values. 3-2.

3-3. How to set a user parameter and the user parameter table The parameters of the DP-6900 are divided into 3 groups, “User Parameters,” “Dealer Parameters,” and “System Parameters.” In test mode you can change any of the parameters. In normal mode where a weight is displayed, you can change user parameters only.

(2) Dealer parameters Dealer parameter mode is used to change dealer parameters, which concern the instrument’s weight measuring properties such as the detection of stable measurement values. For this reason, do not make any unnecessary changes. Moreover, do not disclose, outside the dealer, how to make the settings. ◊...

3-5. Initialization of the CPU board If you have replaced the CPU board, you need to initialize the board. Initialize the CPU board through the following steps. Operation Display From the test mode screen, select [dEF] and press The board initialization screen appears. Specify a value according to the weighing capacity and scale interval.
3-6. Span adjustment (calibration) When you conduct span adjustment, observe the following procedure. For span adjustment, get weights equivalent to 3000 scale intervals (increments) and 6000 scale intervals (increments). (Note): Conduct span adjustment at a place not exposed to vibrations or wind. Before conducting weight calibration, ensure to put a pre-load equivalent to the weighing capacity on the instrument.
4. Other procedures 4-1. How to confirm the checksum It is not easy to keep all the records of parameter settings. If that is the case, it is recommended to keep records of “checksums” -- hexadecimal notation of the total value of all the parameters. You can confirm the checksum through the following steps.
5. Rechargeable battery 5-1. Cautions and instructions on use (1) Do not use any other battery than our designated one. (2) Charge the batteries as soon as the dead battery sign [-bat-] appears. When the battery exhaustion becomes faster, replace with a new battery. [Note] Storage battery, when used by repeating charge and discharge, the voltage at full charge will continue to decline.
