3. Press several more times, until [  ] appears.
4. Press several times to specify [  ].
5. Press to reset the measurement mode.
6. Press . Each press of the key changes the units of measurement to be displayed as follows: [g], [lb], [Pcs],
[%], [g]...
Key Points of the Procedure
1. When set values are entered in the function items [  ] to [  ] prior to use, the desired unit of
measurement to be displayed can be selected by simply pressing the Function key. For more information on the units
of measurement that can be set, please refer to Section 3.1.1.
2. The units are displayed in the same sequence as the settings made from [] to [].
3. If [] is set, no unit of measurement will be displayed, even when units of measurement are set in subsequent items.
4. [  ] cannot be set in [  ].
5. If the same unit of measurement is set multiple times, the second time (and all subsequent times) the unit(s) occurs, it
will be ignored when the display switches.
3.3 Limit Function
The limit function judges measurements according to a limit value saved in the balance. The function shows the judgment
result by displaying the
[ ]
mark as either HI (excessive), OK (appropriate), or LO (insufficient). This function is very useful
when discriminating between conforming and nonconforming articles. It is also useful when measuring a given constant
quantity consecutively, in conjunction with a range of reference weights defined by upper- and lower-limit values.
This function can be used in weight mode, counting mode, or percentage mode.
3.3.1 Limit Value Input Methods
Either of the following two methods can be used in the different modes:
• Actual Quantity Setup Method - An actual sample is loaded on the balance; its weight is saved as the limit value.
• Numeric Value Setup Method - The limit value is entered with any key stroke.
The limit values entered are held in memory, even when the balance is powered down. The respective limit
values for weight mode, counting mode and percentage mode are set up independently.
3.3.2 Indication of Judgment Result
The
[ ]
mark lights up as either HI, OK or LO on the left side of the display, indicating the result of judgment.
3.3.3 Limit Function Setup
1. To start the function, press and hold down .
2. Release key when [  ] is displayed. The display changes to the function setup and the first item is displayed.
3. To select a function item, press . The display changes to the next item, Limit Function.
4. Press to set the value on the right most side to 1.
