5. Increment Size Sub-
block
This sub-block lets you specify the increment size for one or more weighing intervals.
Increment size is the smallest change in weight value that the terminal is able to display.
For example, if the increment size is specified as 0.1 then, starting at 0.0 on the scale,
adding an increasing load will cause the terminal to display 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and so on
through the entire weighing range of the scale.
If two or three intervals are selected, the operation is as described above except that two
or three increments are now used over portions of the weighing range. For example,
consider a scale configured for two intervals with the low increment specified as 0.1 and
the high increment as 0.2. The scale displays weight by 0.1 increments through the first
interval until the weight reaches the “low to high” (LoHi) threshold point, then by 0.2
increments through the second interval to capacity. Increments may count by 1, 2, or 5.
There are two types of multiple increment size operation. Multiple range weighing
applies to all scale bases except METTLER TOLEDO’s high precision bases. Multi-
interval weighing applies only to METTLER TOLEDO’s high precision bases. The
JAGXTREME terminal will determine which type of operation to use according to the
scale type selected in setup.
To configure the increment size:
1. Press ENTER at the Increment Size prompt to open the sub-block.
2. At the Nbr of Intvls? prompt, use the SELECT key to choose 1, 2 or 3 intervals.
If 1 Interval Selected
At the Low? prompt, enter the low increment size (0.00001-100).
If 2 Intervals Selected
1. At the Low? prompt, enter the low increment size (0.00001-100).
2. At the High? prompt, enter the high increment size (0.00001-100). The high
increment must be greater than the low increment.
3. At the LoHi? prompt, enter the weight value where the scale will switch from the
low increment to the high increment.
If 3 Intervals Selected
1. At the Low? prompt, enter the low increment size (0.00001-100).
2. At the Mid? prompt, enter the mid increment size (0.00001-100). The mid
increment must be greater than the low increment.
3. At the High? prompt, enter the high increment size (0.00001-100). The high
increment must be greater than the mid increment.
4. At the LoMid? prompt, enter the weight value where the scale will switch from
the low increment to the mid increment.
5. At the MidHi? prompt, enter the weight value where the scale will switch from
the mid increment to the high increment. The MidHi threshold must be higher
than the LoMid threshold.
6. Continue to the next sub-block or exit the setup mode.
