Indicator setup
In the indicator setup it’s possible to setall indicator parametersto make sure the indicator
will actproperly.
To reach this Setup see below
The differentoptions are:
- Indicator
- Filter
- Calibration
- Indicators
- Recall
- External Devices
Unit label:
The unit label can have a maximum of 4 characters.
The unit label defines the unitof measurement.
The unit label is the value ofa quantity,chosen byconvention as a reference for
measuring quantities ofthe same kind.
For example:
,- t(ton) kg (kilo gram),g (gram),butcan also be L(liter),lbs (pounds),etc.
Indicator name:
The indicator name can have a maximumof 16 characters.
With an indicator name,the indicator will be unique within the application.
So it's easy to recognize itin the processand/or in the factory.
For example:
Silo 1,Scale,etc.
To change the indicator name,press the “EDIT” button behind the name and change it.
Indicator:
To change the different settings, select “indicator” from the indicator setup
Before its possible to enter this menu,the indicator will askfor the “TAC”code.This“TAC”
code is shown in the upper rightcorner.

Step size:
Step size can be setat 1,2, 5,10,20,50,100,200.
The step size defines the scaled parts ofthe weight value.
Example:Weigher value is 2003 kg
Step size Display value
1 2003 kg
2 2004 kg
5 2005 kg
10 2000 kg
The display value will be rounded offto the nearestvalue with a valid step size.
Decimal point:
Decimal pointposition can be setfrom NONE to 0,00000.
The Decimal pointdefinesthe pointposition ofthe weightvalue.
Example:value 2006 kg with a decimal pointposition of“2” will be shown as 20.06 kg
Formatting:
Formatting defines the way thatthe weigher value will be shown.
To change the formats ofthe indicator,press the “Formatting” button.
MultiRange/Interval:
In the multirange/intervall the indicator can be setto change its
stepsize when the weigher signal reachesa certain value.

Operation Mode:
This parameter defines the operation mode ofthe unit.
The operation mode can be setat“Industrial” or Certified mode.
In industrial mode its alwayspossible to change the indicator parametersand calibration
settings.
In certified Mode the unitwill be sealed by marks and also the weighing parameters will be
blocked to comply with calibration laws.
If certified mode isselected,the zero band = 4% (+2 and -2%)
Also zero suppressing isdisabled.
