  • Page 5: Display & Keypad Details

    DISPLAY & KEYPAD DETAILS This model utilizes a 6-digit LED (Light Emitting Diode) display, an LED bar graph and eight (8) annunciators. Annunciator Display Indication The indicator is in Gross Weight mode. GROSS The indicator is in Net Weight mode. TARE A tare weight has been established in the system.
  • Page 6 The keypad comprises a total of twenty-four (24) keys: twelve (12) function keys and twelve (12) numeric keypad keys. “Function Keys” Keypad Function Cycles the displayed weight indication among pounds (lb), kilograms (kg), and a selectable UNITS third unit. This key can be disabled. Zeroes the weight display reading, provided certain conditions are met.
  • Page 7 Conditional keypad functions: TARE (Push button tare only) Indicator reading must not be in motion or displaying an error message. Gross weight must be greater than zero. ZERO Indicator reading must not be in motion or displaying an error message. Operation may be restricted by the Zero Reset Range setting (see F4 menu parameter).

  • Page 23: Indicator Calibration

    INDICATOR CALIBRATION Calibration Overview You will be calibrating an actual load sensor to the indicator using live test loads. You can have up to three span calibration points, denoted as C1 through C3. The value of each subsequent calibration point should be higher than the last, e.g., the C2 value should be greater than the C1 value, etc.
  • Page 24 If the calibration was not successful, one of the following error messages will appear. • "Err0" - The calibration test load or the keyed-in load is larger than the full capacity of the instrument. Change the calibration test load or check the input data. •...
