8.5 Setting the weighing parameters For proper use of the balance, it is important to make the correct weighing parameter settings according to the operating environment. This section describes the filter parameters, stability, autozero and weighing units. In the settings menu, select the "Setup" function and then the "Weighing parameters" function.
Autozero: automatic zero correction constantly adjusts the zero value. These variations may be due, for example, to dirt that can be deposited on the plate. You can disable this function by selecting "Off" mode. Level 1 is the one with minor correction until it reaches level 3E which is the maximum correction.
8.7 Selecting the custom measurement units You can define up to three custom units per user. This allows you to perform calculations directly from weighing detection (i.e. volume, paper grammage g/m3). The custom weight unit can be recalled in all fields and menus where the units can be selected. In the setup menu, select the "Setup"...
8.8 Calibrating and setting the calibration mode Electronic balance performs mass measurements using gravity (g). Differences in geographic regions and altitude vary the gravity acceleration (g). Therefore, in order to obtain accurate measurements, the balance must be adapted to the place of use and environmental conditions.
