66 320IS Plus Installation Manual
You must use the MULT parameter to set the decimal point position. Use the numeric keypad or the
LEFT/RIGHT
keys to select the digit; Use the
UP/DOWN
keys to increment and decrement (see Figure 3-4
on page 16).
LEFT/RIGHT
keys also select decimal placement.
• To configure secondary units using EDP commands, use Table 8-6 to find the conversion multiplier for
the SEC.MULT command. For example, if the primary unit is pounds and the secondary unit is short
tons, send the EDP command SEC.MULT= 0.0005 to set the multiplier for the secondary units.
• Long tons and grains units listed in Table 8-6 cannot be directly specified as primary or secondary units
on the
320IS Plus
indicator. For these or other unlisted units of weight, specify NONE on the UNITS
parameter.
Ensure that the secondary decimal point position is set appropriately for the scale capacity in the secondary
units. If the converted value requires more digits than are available, the indicator will display an overflow
message (OVERFL).
For example, if the primary units are short tons, secondary units are pounds, and the secondary decimal point is set to
8888.88, the indicator will overflow if 5 tons or more are applied to the scale. With 5 tons applied, and a conversion
factor of 2000, the secondary units display needs five digits to the left of the decimal point to display the 10000 lb
secondary units value.
