CONVERSION FACTORS FOR SECONDARY UNITS
The IQ plus 800/810 has the capability to mathematically convert a weight
into many different types of units and instantly display those results with a
press of the UNITS key.
In the 1st level menu, FORMAT, the primary units display can be converted
with a multiplier into many possible forms for display as secondary units.
The UNITS key is used to toggle between primary units display and
secondary units display. The default setting is pounds (lb) for primary, and
kilograms (kg) for secondary, and the annunciator lights are labelled
accordingly. Four other standard annunciator labels are available for ounces,
tons, grams, and grains.
However, the range of possibilities for the secondary units display is not
limited to the six units listed. If a correct conversion multiplier is entered
under the secondary units parameter in the FORMAT menu, conversion
possibilities are nearly unlimited. The annunciator for the secondary scale
may still read kg as a label, but the multiplier entered may be actually
allowing the display to show gallons or cubic feet of a liquid, lineal feet of
wire, newtons, dynes, psi, etc.
The Conversion Factors beginning on the following page (Table 9-5) list
multipliers for converting a wide range of possible units. Not all units are
applicable for weighing applications.
