Scale parameters and functions

6.3 DR 3 calibration parameters

6.3.5 Minimum weighing range

The minimum weighing range with the unit "d" (resolution) is set during the calibration.
The factory setting is 0 d. Falling below the minimum weighing range is displayed in the
status of the scale.

6.3.6 Maximum weighing range

The maximum weight is defined during commissioning.
The maximum weight depends on the number and type of load cells used.

6.3.7 Calibration weights 0, 1, 2 and calibration digits 0, 1, 2

The calibration weights and corresponding calibration digits define the characteristic curve of
the scales. A detailed description can be found in section Performing calibration (Page 76).

6.3.8 Scale interval

The scale interval for the weighing range can be defined in accordance with EN 45501
(0.0001 to 50).

6.3.9 Automatic zero adjustment

If necessary, the scales can be set semi-automatically to zero by the user by means of the
"Zeroing" command.
The automatic adjustment sets the scale to zero without a further command in the event of
slow zero drifting. Slow drift is assumed if the OIML R76 criteria for this are met.

6.3.10 Filling/emptying mode

With filling, the net weight increases when the scale is loaded. At discharge weighing, the net
weight increases when the scale is unloaded.

6.3.11 Weight simulation

For test purposes, weight simulation can be enabled instead of actual weighing. The
simulated weight is specified using the DR 16 data record. Weight simulation can, in certain
situations, facilitate scale testing and commissioning. The simulated weight is indicated on
the main display with the word "TEST".
