) k ) Call up menu item 1-20-2 (elevation of the place of installation).
The input field is empty because the parameter “acceleration of gravity" (menu item
1-20-3) has been entered.
In the example shown here, the last elevation entered was the setting for Germany
(“Zone D”). The scale can be used anywhere in Germany with this setting, if the latitude
entered under menu item 1-20-1 is 51.00.
Enter the elevation of the place of installation (in meters above sea level, and if necessary,
the reference value “151"). The elevation may also be negative under certain circumstances,
(for example, when the weighing instrument is being set up in a mine).
Confirm the entry by pressing the ) key.
) k k Call up menu item 1-20-4 to save the entries.
As an alternative to entering the geographical latitude and elevation of the place of
installation, the value for the acceleration of gravity at the place of installation can
be entered under menu item 1-20-3.
k k ) Example: Enter the acceleration of gravity at the place of installation.
Call up menu item 1-20-3 (acceleration of gravity).
In the example shown here, the parameters “geographical latitude" and “elevation"
(menu items 1-20-1 and 1-20-2) were last entered. Therefore, the input field for this
menu item is empty.
In the example shown here, the last value entered for acceleration of gravity was the setting
for Germany (“Zone D”). The scale can be used anywhere in Germany with this setting, which
is a mean value calculated for the whole of Germany.
Enter the acceleration of gravity at the place of installation (in m/s
-2
, if necessary, reference
value “9.811590"). Confirm the entry by pressing the ) key.
) k Call up menu item 1-20-4 to save the input.
The “Busy" symbol appears in the indicator as proof that the parameters entered
have been stored.
e e Restart the scale: Switch the Combics off and on again.
After the self-test when all segments are displayed, the Combics is in the weighing mode.
