  • Page 27: Operating Concept

    9 Operating concept From factory the balance is delivered with various applications (normal weighing, check weighing, counting). After the first start-up the balance is in the application. In the application menu (see chap.13.2.) however, you can define, selecting an application, in which mode the balance after switching-on has to continue working.
  • Page 28 According to the selected application in the application menu just appear the application-specific settings, so that you reach the target quickly without deviation. • Information about the application-specific settings you will find in the description of the respective application. • All basic settings and parameters, which influence the whole operation of the balance, are resumed in the Setup Menu (see chap.13.3.).
