Using Custom Units (CUSTOM):

The Custom Units setting allows the user to display a volumetric weight by applying a conversion factor to the pressure reading.

NOTE: The conversion factor must be calculated using Pound per Square Inch (psi) as the base unit of measure.

Setting the Custom Units feature:

Step1: Calculate the conversion factor from psi to the desired unit of measure. Step2: Press the On/Off button once to enter the main setup menu.

Step3: Press (Z) to cycle through the options until UNITS is displayed. Step4: Press (S) to access the Units setting options.

Step5: Press (Z) to cycle through the Units options until CUSTOM is displayed.

Step6: Press (S) to access the Custom Units setting. A 5-digit conversion factor will appear with the first digit flashing.

Step7: Press (Z) to change the value of the flashing digit (options: 0-9). Step8: Press (S) to accept the flashing digit and advance to the next

digit......repeat steps 7 and 8 as necessary.

Step9: After the last digit is accepted by pressing (S), use (Z) to scroll through the custom units of measure; LBF, KN, LBS, KG, NEWTON.

Step10: Press (S) to accept the custom unit and return to the main setup menu.
