Animal Weighing/Averaging
46
Menu code: 2 1 7 *
Display symbol: V
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g., live
animals) or to determine weights under
unstable ambient conditions. With
this program, the balance/scale calculates
the weight as the average of a defined
number of individual weighing
operations (also referred to as
“subweighing operations”).
Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Minimum load threshold for starting
animal weighing:
– for automatic start:
100 display intervals
– for manual start:
50 display intervals
– Automatic start:
Begin the averaging operation by
pressing v. “AUTO” is displayed dur-
ing weighing to indicate that
the following values will be averaged
automatically.
Animal activity: Averaging begins
automatically once two subweights are
measured within a predefined tolerance
range (calm = 2%, normal = 5%,
active = 20%).
– Number of weighing operations for
calculation of an average mDef can be
set before the beginning of each series.
* = not available in CP…-ACE/…-PCE models
– Number of remaining weighing operations in
the current series is shown during weighing.
– Arithmetic average displayed as a result in
the pre-set weight unit (identified by the
G). The V symbol flashes during this time.
– Toggling between weighed and calculated
results by pressing v (after initialization)
– Unload threshold is one-half of the
minimum load.
– Balance/scale returns to the basic weighing
mode when unloaded; i.e., when the load is
below the unload threshold
Function Keys
v:
Activate animal weighing program
c:

Changing the number of subweighing
operations:
§ Press and hold v (2 sec.)
> Current number of subweighing operations
is displayed.
$ Press v briefly to change the value;
press repeatedly until the desired number
is displayed.
Quantities to choose from: 5, 10, 20,
50, 100.
§ Store setting in long-term memory:
