3.2 Configuring Specification 141 and 142 Settings from the Scale Keyboard
The following tables list the DC-782 specifications, their corresponding default values, and the other possible
values to which they can be programmed. The default values are set at the factory when the scale is shipped.
SPEC 0 through SPEC 10 (Table 3-1) are customer specifications and use the 141 ac
cess code, while SPEC 20
through SPEC 29 (Table 3-2) are weight and measurement specifications, and use the 142 access code
In programming specifications, the + (P
lus) and – (Minus) keys allow you to move to the next or previous
specification. The CLEAR key cancels any input you have made. The * CONFIRM key temporarily stores to
memory any changes you have made. The TARE
key saves to memory the changes you have made and returns
you to the weighing mode. Note also that when programming specifications, only the 0 and 1 keys on the
numeric keypad are enabled, since those are the only valid entries.
