9.3.6 Special Settings of SmartSens and ErgoSens for Percent Weighing
The SmartSens and ErgoSens sensors have special settings for percent weighing.
“VarRef%” and “Set100%” emulate the function keys with the same names.
If one of these settings is activated, the “F” (function) symbol lights up green in the status
line under the respective sensor.
Factory setting: Model-dependent
Precision balances: “Off” for all 4 sensors.
Analytical– and
Micro balances:
SmartSens left and right configured for draft shield (doors)
operation.
“Off” for both ErgoSens..
9.4 Working with the “Percent Weighing” Application
In this section you will learn how to work with the “Percent Weighing” application. This application also allows you to determine a tare,
change the resolution of the weighing result, work with identifications, etc. Since you have already learnt how to do these in the “Weigh-
ing” application (section 5.3) they are not explained again here.
9.4.1 Simple Percent Weighing
Preliminary Settings
Before you can perform a percent weighing, you must first activate at least one of the two
function keys shown at left (section 9.3.2) so that you can determine the reference.
The information fields “Reference%” (reference value in percent) and “Reference” (absolute
weight value of the reference) are both activated at the factory (section 9.3.3).
Determining the Reference
Place the reference weight on the weighing pan.
If the reference weight placed on the pan should equal 100 %, press the function
key for “Set100%”.
As soon as the weighing result is stable, the weight which is determined is saved as the
reference weight.
The results display and the “Reference%” information field display the reference value
(100 %), while the “Reference” information field displays the absolute weight of the
reference.
If, instead, you want to make the weight on the pan a variable reference, press the func-
tion key for “VarRef%”. An input field appears in which you can specify the percentage
value (e.g. 60 %) which the weight on the pan should represent.
