Operating Design

The scales in the Factory Series
consist of a weighing cell and a
display and control unit.
In addition to the choice of power
supply (via AC adapter or external
rechargeable battery pack), your
scale also has an interface port for
connecting a printer, computer
or universal remote control switch.
The display and control unit and the
weighing cell can be set up
separately. Operation of Factory
balances follows a uniform
"philosophy" which is described in
this manual.
Unless otherwise specified, the
information also refers to scale
versions verified or verifiable for use
in legal metrology (identified by the
suffix: 0CE).
Keys
The functions used most often
are assigned to their own specific
keys. There are additional
keys for assignment of other (multiple)
functions, in some cases
dependent on the current operating
status (so-called "soft keys").
Each key is described in detail in
the chapter entitled "Overview."

keys function as c, [ISOTEST]/
