OPERATION: Selecting the weight unit
The PE360/3600 balances can display weights in grams and even in several nonmetric units. Thus, they can work for instance as ounce balances. The selected
weight unit remains stored even in the case of a power interruption but it can be changed at any time.
Note: In certified balances, the weight unit must be selected before certification is carried out.
Selecting the weight unit
– Disconnect power-line cable (14).
– Press the control bar (1) and hold it down.
With the bar pressed, connect power-line cable
(14).
– The display indicates now "Unit". On the right
of the display, the weight units light up in
succession.
– When the disired weight unit lights up, release
the control bar (1).
– The display indicates all the numerals and
characters (in the same way as when being
switched on) and then follows the zero display.
8
The number of decimal places depends on the
balance model and the weight unit.
– If during the changing of the weight units a
given unit does not appear on the display, that
particular unit can not be selected, e.g. the
kilogram on the PE360.
Note: Calibration is always operated in the same way,
regardless of the selected weight unit. Calibration
weight must be 100 g (PE360), or 1000 g
(PE3600).
The displayed value can be calculated from the table
on the right. Example of the PE360 as an ounce
balance: 100 g k 3.5274 oz.
