The display rotates in 90° steps for better reading

New, unique, force reduced material catching system

Automatic „Zero-Setting“ in each measuring position using a special sensor technique

1 factory adjustment, as well as 4 material memory locations for customer made calibrations

Calibration adjustment for fine tuning of the calibration if material differs from the used calibration material

Programmable MIN- and MAX alarms: indication in the display, if reading is out of limits

High speed data sampling (internal 8 kHz) and recording of MIN-, MAX-, last reading, PEAKS, average and standard deviation

Selectable units of measurement: cN, daN, g, kg, N, lb

Menu set-up in English or German language

Flexible menu set-up to meet operators demand

Some functions can be password protected
