Scale Parameter 5.1: Primary Units Type (lb)
The scale is calibrated in the primary units. The Units key is used to toggle the weight
display between primary units and alternate units. Select the primary units from the
displayed list.
Scale Parameter 5.2 Alternate Units Type (kg)
The alternate units are displayed (and printed) using the Units key to toggle between the
primary and alternate units. Select the alternate units from the displayed list.
Scale Parameter 5.3 Alt Units Conversion Factor (45,360)
The DT220 calculates the alternate weight by multiplying the primary weight by the
conversion factor and then dividing by 100,000. The following table lists some common
conversions.
Alternate Units Conversion Factor Table
Conversion Conversion Factor Conv. Fact. x 100,000
lb to kg 0.45359 kg/lb 45,359
kg to lb 2.20462 lb/kg 220,462
lb to ton 0.0005 Ton/lb 50
kg to tonne 0.001 tonne/kg 100
gram to oz 0.352739 oz/gram 352,739
oz to gram 28.3495 gram/oz 2,834,950
lb to lb
kb to kg
Etc.
1 100,000
Enter the conversion factor x 100,000 for the configured alternate units.
Scale Parameter 6.1: Push Button Zero Percent (100)
Enter the percent of full-scale capacity that can be acquired as the zero point with the
ZERO key. 1 = 1%, 2 = 2%, ... 100 = 100%.
Scale Parameter 6.2: Zero Tracking Delay (0)
The automatic zero tracking function removes small deviations from zero. The DT220
adjusts the zero setting by approximately 1/30
th
of a display digit per delay interval. The
delay interval is the number effective A/D conversions between adjustments.
