9750A HANDHELD RF REMOTE INDICATOR for CELLSCALE TO ENABLE / DISABLE AZM (AUTO ZERO MAINTENANCE) AZM is used to adjust out variations at zero caused by debris or water on the scale, temperature drift, and any other minor variation that affects the zero setting. Typically AZM is set to 0.5d or 1d, which is adequate for most ® modern scale systems. The CellScale allows for a much greater AZM range (non legal-for-trade scales only) for unique applications.
MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL CENTER-OF-ZERO (COZ) INDICATOR The COZ indicator turns on when the scale is within 1/4 d of the last zero setting.
