Conversion Factors for Secondary Units

The 390HE has the capability to mathematically

convert a weight into many different types of units

and instantly display those results with a press of the

UNITS

key. Secondary units can be specified on the

FORMAT menu using the SECNDR parameter, or by

using EDP commands.

•

To configure secondary units using the front

panel menus, use Table 8-4 to find the

c o n v e r s i o n m u l t i p l i e r f o r t h e M U LT

parameter. For example, if the primary unit is

pounds and the secondary unit is short tons,

set the MULT parameter to 0.00050, then

press to save the value.
For secondary units with a conversion factor

of 10 or more, enter the value as described

above without regard to decimal position,

then use the or key to move the decimal

point to the correct position. Press a second

time to save the value.
For example, if the primary unit is ounces and

the secondary unit is grams, the conversion

factor shown in Table 8-4 is 28.3495. To enter

this value using the menus, first enter 2.83495

for the MULT parameter, then use the left and

right front panel keys to adjust the decimal

point to 28.3495. Press again to save the

value and exit the MULT parameter.

•

To configure secondary units using EDP
