7.6 Conversion Factors for Secondary
Units
The 420HE 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.
Note
• Multipliers are preconfigured within the
indicator. Manual entry is only necessary when
NONE is selected under UNITS. Long tons
and grain units listed in Table 7-6 cannot be
directly specified as primary or secondary
units. For these or other unlisted units of
weight, specify NONE under UNITS.
• Ensure that the secondary decimal point
position is set appropriately for the scale
c a p a c i t y i n t h e s e c o n d a r y u n i t s . I f t h e
converted value requires more digits than are
avail able, 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
d e c i m a l p o i n t t o d i s p l a y t h e 1 0 0 0 0 l b
secondary units value.
