8CHAPTER 8: LEGAL-FOR-TRADE
The 60 Series parameter setup does not ensure compliance with legal-for-
trade installations as mandated by local weights and measures authorities.
This chapter explains how to configure the 60 Series controllers to comply
with various regulations and describes other features that will make your
controller suitable for installations worldwide.
Legal-for-trade requirements vary by location. Ensure that your controller is
installed in accordance with all local regulations.
OIML AND INTERNATIONAL OPERATION
The International Organization of Legal Metrology is an inter-governmental
body, which harmonizes the national metrology regulations of its worldwide
members. A list of regulation publications can be obtained from the Bureau
International de Métrologie Légale (BIML) in Paris, France.
In order to configure the your controller to comply with OIML requirements,
P410 must be enabled in the Setup Mode. Doing this will ensure the
following:
• An over-load condition will result when the gross weight exceeds nine
graduations over the full-scale capacity.
• Full scale capacity is always referenced from the last zero calibration
reference, not the last zero acquired by pressing [ZERO].
• The keypad is remapped for the international version.
• Presettable parameters will give indication that a value has been entered
manually.
Most NTEP requirements will also apply.

Series Technical Reference Manual.
