Selecting the Scale Unit of Weight
The Scale Unit of Weight can either be in Kilograms (metric) or Pounds (US).
To change the scale unit of weight while in Calibration Mode, follow these steps:
- Verify the unit of weight measurement by doing any of the following:
- Check if the Scale Display icon shows lb or kg
- Check if the 7-segment display scrolls Lb or g (indicates kg unit)
- To change the unit of weight, scan the appropriate Legal Scale Units bar code in Legal Scale Units (Parameter #995). If you do not change the default, or current weight unit, the scale calibrates with the default (depending on the country or region) or previously programmed weight unit.Note
The scale unit of weight parameter can be changed at any time after entering the Calibration Mode. After a successful scan, the Calibration Mode restarts at Calibrating at No Load.
Important Notes
- Automatic zero setting is enabled for metric scales (kg) and disabled for US scales (lb).
- Automatic zero setting, if enabled, is performed if weight has remained below zero and is stable (that is, no motion on the Top Plate) for at least 5 seconds. The scale is automatically set to zero after 5 seconds.
- If the unit of weight is changed from lb to kg, this setting is enabled after a cold power start of the NCR 7895. A scale reset through the Scale Reset STISCLRST bar code will not enable this setting. Likewise, if weight units change from kg to lb, this setting is disabled. This setting is illegal for US (lb) scales.
