Set Operation Parameters

Parameter 10. Primary Units Type (1 [lb])

The scale is calibrated in the primary units. The UNITS key is used to toggle the weight

display between primary units and alternate units. Enter the number that corresponds

with the primary units:

0 = UNDEFINED, no units printed

1 = lb

2 = kg

3 = ton

4 = ten

5 = gram

6 = oz

7 = use print label 32 for units

8 = use print code 1 for units

NOTE: when parameter 10 is changed, parameters 13 and 16 must be programmed.

Parameter 11. Decimal Point Position (0 [no decimal point])

Enter the decimal point position for the primary units display. For example, if the scale is

calibrated x 0.05 the decimal position = 2.

Parameter 12. Count-by (1)

Enter the primary units count-by. For example, if the scale is configured for:

x 0.05

count-by = 5

x 0.2

count-by = 2

x 1

count-by = 1

x 5

count-by = 5

x 50

count-by = 50

Note: the entry for 0.05 and 5 is the same. The decimal point position (parameter 11)

differentiates between the count-by 0.05 and count-by 5.

Parameter 13. Alternate Units Type (2 [kg])

Alternate units are the alternate display and print unit of measure that can be used in

addition to the primary units. The UNITS switch on the DT200’s keyboard toggles the

weight display between primary units and secondary units.
