Power-on The Soehnle Professional logo is displayed during the power-on routine which includes the offset and reference measurements. The measuring points are briefly listed as they are detected. The scale is zeroed after the power-on routine At power-on the last used application program is reactivated. Zero range limits at power-on Calibratable: zero range at power-on is -10% to +60% of the weighing range. Non calibratable: zero range at power-on is -99% to +99% of the weighing range. If power-on is outside zero range, the scale shows an error message. Once the cause of the underload or overload has been eliminated, the scale goes to zero without the need to power-on again and is operative.

42

English Power-off If the sensors are strained or you have called up a menu, the scale will not power off until the ON/Off key has been pressed for 3 seconds. The scale cannot be powered off while waiting for an input for editing in setting mode. To power-off you must exit the editing area. OFF display In the Service/General/OFF display setting mode you can set whether the word "OFF" is to appear in the display when the scale is switched off (medical directive).

Zero Zeroing corrects minor deviations from the zero point caused, for example, by soiling of the scale. The following symbol in the symbol bar indicates zero: >0<. Zero range calibratable and non calibratable: -1% to +3% of the weighing range. If zeroing is not possible, the error message "Above zero range" or "Below zero range" appears for two seconds. Zero tracking Zero tracking automatically corrects minor deviations from the zero display.

x 10 display Indicates the weight value with an additional decimal in 10 times higher resolution.

+

Switch to x10 display by pressing first the Print key and then simultaneously the Zeroing key. According to the Calibration Law, the x10 function on a calibratable scale must only be activated briefly for checking purposes. For bed weighing, the x10 function is programmed to switch off again automatically 5 seconds after being activated. While the ten times higher display is activated, X10 appears in the symbol bar. When the appliance is switched off, the function is deactivated.

43

English Alphanumeric input It is possible to make alphanumeric inputs with the combined numeric and alphabetic character key pad. Types of input box • Display panels, read only • Display/writing panels with numeric input option • Display/writing panels with alphanumeric input option Activating input boxes Situation-dependent by means of function keys or direct numerical input. The Input view appears in the display. Existing values are displayed. The description of the input box is displayed in the symbol bar. A unit character is displayed if the input refers to a dimension. Input procedure Numerical boxes You can type in digits 0 to 9 using the numerical keypad. Input is right-flush. A cursor flashes under the last digit entered. The C key clears the digit marked with the cursor. The Zeroing key (cancel key) ends the input without accepting new input values and existing values are retained. The Print key (enter key) accepts the input value and reactivates the application program. The instruction as to whether there is to be a point, comma or no decimal separator is defined in the setting mode "Display/Decimal Separator". Only the preconfigured number of characters may be written into the input box; any further input will not be displayed and will not be accepted. Alphanumeric boxes You can type in digits 0 to 9 using the numerical keypad. Input is left-flush. For multiple assignment, upper case alphabetic characters and special characters are also assigned to the numeric keys. The special character keys ", . /" are also available. If a numeric key is pressed and then pressed again within a second, this activates the characters assigned to the key concerned in rotation. If the key is not pressed again within a second, the character called up is accepted and the cursor moves on one place. Purely numeric inputs can be made in sequence without waiting provided a particular digit is not entered several times in a row. A cursor flashes under the last item entered. With the F key (arrow upwards) and the Tare key (arrow downwards) you can move the cursor to the left and to the right. The C key clears the last character to the left of the cursor or the character beneath which the cursor is flashing.

44

English The Zeroing key (cancel key) ends the input without accepting new input values and existing values are retained. The Print key (enter key) accepts the input value and reactivates the application program. Only the preconfigured number of characters may be written into the input box; any further input overwrites the last character.
