Note: As a rule, always set the mode with mode switch (2) before starting the setup of OPTISWITCH 3200 C. The switching output will change if you set the mode switch (2) afterwards. This could possibly trigger other connected instruments or devices.
It is already preset and must only be modified in special cases. By default, the potentiometer of OPTISWITCH 3200 C is set to the right stop (>0.02 g/cm³ or >0.0008 lbs/in³). In case of very light-weight solids, turn the potentiometer to the left stop (>0.008 g/cm³...
