Warning: It is important to distinguish between the test tolerances used for the individual weight measurements during the
Test Sequence and those that are applied to the results at the end (Methods EC, RP1 and RPT1).
1. Select the Test Weights for the Test
On pressing “Test Weight” or “Tare Weight” you can select the desired test weight from the list of previously configured weights. For the
Tare Weight select the weight which corresponds to the test weight of the tare container.
2. Define the Tolerances for the Test
Each test weight has two associated tolerances (T1 and T2) which are applied to the weight during the Test Sequence as described
below:
“Tolerance T1”: Tolerance T1 is used as a warning to the user and should therefore be smaller than T2. If this tolerance
is exceeded a warning will be generated but the user can still complete the Test Sequence. A record
of the warning is stored in the Test History and will be printed in the report. If you do not want T1 to be
defined as part of the Test Sequence it can be turned off by setting it to 100 %.
“Name of Tolerance 1”: The name of T1 can be freely defined. Max 20 characters!
Factory Setting: Name = “Warn Limit”
“Tolerance T2”: If Tolerance T2 is exceeded the Test Sequence will be aborted. The user is given the message that the
test has failed. The error is stored in the Test History and will be printed in the report. If you do not want
T2 to be defined as part of the Test Sequence, it can be turned off by setting it to 100 %.
“Name of Tolerance 2”: The name of T2 can be freely defined. Max 20 characters!
Factory Setting: Name = “Control Limit”
Note: The smallest value shown for Tolerances T1 and T2 depends on the type of balance used and
carries 1 digit.
3. Define the Tolerances for the Method Result
For the Methods EC, RP1 and RPT1 two further tolerances are applied to the results generated from the Test Sequence. These two
tolerances are defined and apply in the same way as those for the test tolerances as described above.
Note: When using a Method which calculates an end result, it is advisable to turn off Test and Tare Weight Tolerances by
setting them to 100 % to allow the full Test Sequence to be executed and the result tolerance (method tolerance) T2 to be
applied.
A complete list of the settings can be printed out by pressing the «F» key while the Test Sequence menu is open.
