Single-range Scale (11-3-1)
The entire weighing range is divided into scale intervals on
the basis of the lowest interval d and the maximum load.
In this case, the readability over the entire weighing range
is always the lowest scale interval d.
Multi-interval Scale (11-3-2)
By activating the “Multi-interval scale” function you can
divide the weighing capacity into as many 4 weighing
ranges, each with a different readability. When using the
Trade configuration, this function is permitted only in
accuracy classes l/m. The scale switches from one
range to the next automatically, in accordance with the
range limits specified. When the scale switches from a
higher to a lower range, the higher resolution is set
automatically. Once the scale has been tared, the highest
possible resolution is available even if the weighing
platform is loaded. Press k to select the desired
weighing range function and then press ) to confirm.
A circle ( o ) after the menu code indicates the active
setting.
Multiple-range Scale (11-3-3)
A multiple-range scale has two weighing ranges.
When the maximum capacity of the lower range is
exceeded, the scale switches to the higher range (lower
resolution) and remains in that range. The scale can be
returned to the lower weighing range (higher resolution)
only by unloading the scale and then pressing the ( key.
Scale Interval d
The lowest scale interval d indicates the resolution of the
weighing instrument. The scale interval d can be entered
only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. When working
on a verifiable or verified scale in accuracy class l or
m, you are not prompted to enter the lowest scale
interval, as this is equal to the verification scale interval e.
Verification Scale Interval e
The verification scale interval e indicates the resolution
of the weighing instrument in legal metrology.
When accuracy class l/m is active, this is equal to the
scale interval d. Thus with classes l/m, the lowest
scale interval d is not prompted.
Minimum Load
The minimum load for weighing instruments of class
l is 20 e; for class m instruments, it is 10 e.
Note: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn
operators that below this limit, the summation of
tolerances might lead to significant measurement errors.
In Germany, for example, initial weights below the
minimum load are not allowed.
