VIEWING, ZEROING THE WEIGHT AND SELF-CALIBRATION
After being calibrated, at the subsequent switches on, the display shows the current weight.
VIEWING THE NET WEIGHT/GROSS WEIGHT
Press the
FUN
key to toggle between the net weight and the gross weight and vice versa. The value
displayed is signaled by the LED NET (lit: net weight). If you have not entered the tare, the net weight
is equal to the gross weight.
In case of negative weight, it is displayed the minus sign before the most significant digit.
ZEROING, WEIGHT AND SELF-CALIBRATION
These two functions are performed by pressing
0
.
When the instrument is in the operation mode “Net” (“NET” LED on), the
0
key performs the self-
calibration.
When the instrument is in operation mode “Gross” (“NET” LED off), the
0
key clears the gross weight.
SELF-CALIBRATION
The execution of self-calibration is possible under the following conditions:
• Instrument under conditions of “Net” (NET” LED on).
• Positive gross weight.
• Gross weight not greater than the maximum capacity.
• Stable weight.
• Unstable weight. In this condition, we must distinguish two cases:
1. The weight stability control is enabled (the parameter “MOTION” (*) must be other than zero): the
command executed while the weight is unstable only has an effect if the weight stabilizes within 3
seconds from the moment the command was given.
2. The weight stability control is disabled (the parameter “MOTION” (*) is equal to zero): the executed
command takes effect immediately, even with unstable weight.
(*) The operating modes of the parameter “MOTION” are described at page 26
The self-calibration is retained in memory even after the power is turned off.
ZEROING
The reset command of the gross weight is used to correct for small zero shifts of the weighing system
during normal operation.
Normally these zero shifts are due to thermal drifts or to residues of material that accumulate on the
weighing system over the time.
To run the command, it is necessary that the instrument is under conditions of “Gross” (“NET” LED off)
and that the deviation of the weight with respect to the zero of the scale (the one performed with the
calibration of zero) does not exceed (in positive or negative) the number of divisions set in parameter
“0 BAND” (inside the PARAM menu; see page 28).
The reset command of the gross weight does not run if there is even one of the following conditions:
