Dosing Speed [ SPEEd ]
You may adjust the dosing speed to prioritize either the accuracy or the speed of dosing. There are
three speed settings available:
1. PrEC — Precision: Default speed, high accuracy. (default)
2. FASt — Fast: Faster speed, default accuracy (227 grams within 12 seconds); recommended for
doses of 100 grams or more.
3. GrEEn — Green Bean: Default speed for green beans or light roast beans.
To save your selection and exit the settings sub-menu, press Dose. [ SPEEd ] will display on the LED
to conrm that the selected option has been saved.
Sleep Timer Setting [ SLEEP ]
The number indicates the amount of time before the Orion Nano automatically powers o. For
example, when 5 is selected, the Orion Nano powers o after 5 minutes of being idle if the Orion Nano
is disconnected from all mobile devices.
Zero Tracking Setting [ trAcE ]
Zero Tracking is a function to help compensate the weight readout uctuations at zero point to
improve the usability of the scale. The Acaia Orion Nano is allowed to compensate uctuations by up
to 2d according to industrial weighing guidelines.
1. O: It is not recommended to turn o Zero Tracking; the zero indication can drift easily as the room
temperature changes.
2. 0.5 d~5 d: For example, since each division is 0.1 g, 5 d = 0.5 g. When Zero Tracking is set to be 5
d, any initial weight between +/- 0.5 g on the weighing pan will be zeroed out.
3. 1 d is recommended in general for the Orion Nano.
To save your selection and exit the settings sub-menu, press Dose. [ trAcE ] will display on the LED
to conrm that the selected option has been saved.
