Annunciators
The VIRTUi display uses a set of eight annunciators to provide additional information about the value being
displayed:
• Gross and Net annunciators are lit to show whether the display weight is a gross or net weight
• Center of Zero : Gross weight is within 0.25 graduations of zero. This annunciator lights when the scale is
zeroed
• Standstill : Scale is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including tare
functions and printing, can only be done when the standstill symbol is shown
• The display units can also be set to short tons (tn), metric tons (t), or NONE (no units information
displayed). The lb and kg annunciators default as primary and secondary unit annunciators. Changing
unit annunciators under the Settings menu will also change the annunciators on the
VIRTUi display.
