USER-DEFINABLE UNITS
It is often convenient to weigh in user-defined units. This balance has two user-definable
units of measure, X and t units. Conversion factors can be entered through the keyboard
to be multiplied by the displayed weight, or divisors can be entered to be divided into
the displayed weight.
X units can be changed by entering a factor or divisor. To measure in X units, proceed
as follows:
1. Calculate the ratio you wish to enter. If your ratio is in grams per X unit, ounces
per X unit, pounds per X unit, etc., you will enter a divisor. Proceed with steps
2 through 7.
If your ratio is in X units per gram, X units per ounce, X units per pound, etc., you
will enter a factor. Proceed with steps 2 through 7, skipping step 3.
2. Press the conv key until the display reads in the known units from which you
wish to convert.
3. If you are entering a divisor, press the — key.
4. Enter the conversion ratio.
5. Press the conv key.
6. Place an object on the balance.
7. Wait for the "OK" symbol, then read the display. The reading given is in X units.
t units are tamperproof user-definable units which are changed by entering a factor or
divisor. To change t units, proceed as follows:
1. Calculate the ratio you wish to enter. If your ratio is in grams per t unit, ounces
per t unit, etc., you will enter a divisor. Proceed with steps 2 through 10.
If your ratio is in t units per gram, t units per ounce, t units per pound, etc., you
will enter a factor. Proceed with steps 2 through 10, skipping step 6.
2. Press the conv key until the display reads in the units from which you wish to
convert.
