2.1.8 C3 Mode – Span Adjustment
1) Operation
Operation Display
1. Stating Test
2. Span Adjustment mode
2.1 Press the TARE key two times.
2.2 Press the MODE key →displays original A/D data
(The normal range for original A/D data is 1000 to
25000 counts).
2.3 Press the MODE key without load on the weigh platter
→Approx. 5000 count is diplayed.

- 13 - GAB/GAS-SH-e-0711
2.4 Press the ZERO key if the count diverges from 5000
counts.
2.5 Put the weight same as weighing capacity on the
weigh platter, then press the MODE key →"CAL" is
displayed, then the A/D count becomes "35000" on
the display.
If the count diverges from 5000 counts, unload the
weight and repeat the operations as set out in 2.4 and
2.5.
2.6 When the C3 mode is required, press the TARE key.
- When finishing, press the Memory Switch to
record the data to the memory, and enter the Ending
Test Mode.
•“CAL” operation can not be performed unless zero-point adjustment is finished.
•“CAL” operation can not be performed unless the original A/D value exceeds
33300 counts when the weight is loaded.
2.1.9 F Mode – Setting measuring conditions and EPROM clear
•All data has been fixed according to country specifications.
•Altering data may not conform to weighing and measuring tests for a country.
•See 2.1.6 “C1 Mode-Country No. Setting” for Measurement Conditions Setup
Table.
1) Operation
Operation Display
1. Stating Test
2. Setting measuring conditions
2.1 Press the TARE key three times
2.2 Press the MODE key →The least significant digit blinks.
Whenever the MODE key is pressed, the required digit can
be selected.
2.3 Whenever the MODE key is pressed, the figure of the digit
which has blinked does the increment.

3. EPROM clear
･Any scene of F mode is possible.
3.1 Press the ZERO key and MODEkey. →"EP-C" then "C1-1"
is displayed.
At this point, writing in EPROM of change data in
F mode and the default value to EPROM clear
has not been completed. Push the memory
switch.
EPROM clear initializes Country No., Scale No.,
Zero, and Span adjustment values. It is
necessary to set it again.
↓
4. Writing in EPROM
･Push the memory switch to memorize data.
After EPROM is cleared, if writing is performed in
EPROM without setting Country No., Scale No.
nor Zero/Span adjustment value, and the power
is turned on, "Err1" is displayed and it is not
possible to use the machine. Set C1, C2, and C3
again.
