Selection and Use Notes
Choose the capacity
Include tare: add the mass of containers, vessels and sample holders.
Keep headroom: avoid routinely operating at maximum capacity.
Plan calibration
External calibration: use a suitable nominal weight for the selected range.
Routine checks: define frequency, limits and records in the local procedure.
Plan data output
RS232: confirm cable and protocol for printer or PC connection.
Software: define collection, export and measurement-control requirements.
