3.8 Motorized Draft Shield
3.8.1 Sensor Area
The device has a motion sensor that opens the draft shield automatically as soon as
a motion is detected within the sensor area. Following that the draft shield will be
automatically closed again. The operation is optimized for left- and right-handed
users due to the motion sensor.
The motion sensor sensitivity can be adjusted in steps (see Chapter “Parameters in
the “Motion Sensors” Submenu”, page 38)
3.8.2 Operating Elements for the Draft Shield
The draft shield can be opened and closed via the [Change] key. Operation via the
[Change] key enables the opening and closing of the draft shield as well as the
activation and deactivation of the motion sensor.
3.9 Conformity-assessed Devices
Some settings of conformity-assessed models are protected against user changes,
e.g. external calibration for devices in accuracy class II. This measure is intended to
ensure the suitability of the devices for use in legal metrology.
