13 Limit Function
The limit function judges a measured weight based on the limit values stored in the balance. The limit
function can be set by selecting [
2. SEL *] or [2] or [3] in Function 1.
The limit judgment result will be indicated by the [] symbol. The number of judgment points can be set
from one to four.
13.1 Setting the Limit Function
Make the settings of the limit function in Function 1.
While the limit function provides various setting items, carefully read Section 5.4: Limit/Addition
Functions, on page 19, before actually performing the settings.
13.2 Judgment and Saving
A limit value can be judged in the following two ways. Select an appropriate one in Function 1.
(1) Judge by absolute values ........................ Specify an upper weight limit or a lower weight limit directly.
(2) Judge by deviation values ...................... Specify an upper limit or a lower limit with respect to a
reference weight.
A limit value can be stored in the following two ways. They can be used in combination with either of
the above judgment methods.
(1) Put actual samples on the balance .......... Put an actual sample on the balance, and save the weight as a
limit value.
(2) Enter values ............................................ Enter a limit value using the keys.
 Once a limit value is entered, it is held after the balance is turned off.
 You can set separate limit values for the weighing machine, parts counting, percentage weighing,
and unit converting functions.
 When you enter a limit value, it is treated differently between the two judgment methods. (Refer
to Caution 9 on page 43.)
13.3 Display of Judgment Results
When one or two points are set, the [] symbol indicates one of the three judgment points in the left of the
display.
