Rice Lake Sartorius Midrics 1 and 2 Series - Operating Instructions - Manual (Page 61)

Application: Neutral Measurement Z nM
With this application you can use your
weighing platform to measure the
length, surface and volume of parts
that have roughly the same specific
weight. The
o symbol is displayed
as the weight unit.
Features
Enter the reference weight “
wRef "
via the keypad
– Save the reference weight “ wRef "
from the weighing platform
– Enter the factor for calculation “ nRef "
via the keypad
– Activate info-mode by pressing I
(> sec)
– Toggle the display between measure-
ment and weight by pressing W
– Define the level of accuracy (display
resolution) applied when a calculated
reference weight is saved
– Automatic taring of container weight.
Configuration:
Appl Z nM : 3.7.
(autotare first weight)
– Automatic initialization when the
Midrics is switched on. The scale
is initialized with the most recently
used calculation factor “nRef"
and reference weight “wRef".
Configuration:
Appl Z nM : 3.8.
(start app. with last values)
– Closing application program;
deleting parameters:
The value for reference sample weight
remains active in the reference memory
until you delete it by pressing the
c key, overwrite it or until you select
a different application. This value also
remains saved after the scale has been
switched off.
– Restore factory settings. Configuration:
Appl Z nM : 9.1 .
In order to calculate the length,
surface or volume of a given sample,
the average weight of a reference
quantity of the sample must be known
(in the example below, the reference
is 1 meter of electrical cable).
There are three ways to enter the
reference weight in the program:
– Calculation:
– Place the reference quantity (defined
by the calculation factor) on the
connected weighing platform and
calculate the reference sample
weight by pressing the O key.
– Place any amount of the sample
material on the connected weighing
platform, enter the calculation
factor through the keypad, and
press the O key to calculate the
reference sample weight.
How the reference weight is calculated
depends on the application setting for
resolution (“Resolution for calculation
of reference value"). The value is either
rounded off in accordance with the dis-
play resolution, or saved with 10-fold
or 100-fold increased resolution or
with the maximum internal resolution
of the weighing platform.
– Keypad input: Enter the reference
weight (i.e., the weight of one meter of
electrical cable) using the keypad and
press O to save it.
The initial application values are valid
until deleted by pressing the c key,
or until overwritten by new values.
They also remain saved after you switch
off the scale.
Preparation
§ Switch on the scale: Press e.
§ While all segments are lit,
press the ) key
§ Select the Application menu: Press k
repeatedly until APPL is displayed
§ Open the Application menu:
Press the ) key
§ Select the Neutral Measurement
application:
Press the k key repeatedly until
the desired menu item is displayed and
press ) to open the submenu
– Tare function:
1) If you store a tare (weight value) by
pressing the ) key, you can later
enter a tare value manually. The tare
value you enter is added to the stored
tare value.
Setting: menu code 3.25.1
(factory default)
2) A tare value entered manually
overwrites a stored tare value (weight
value). If you enter a tare value manu-
ally, a tare value (weight value) stored
later overwrites the manually entered
value.
Setting: menu code 3.25.2
