3. Remove, empty, or replace objects, bins, or containers on the platform.
4. Wait 5 seconds for the new load to stabilize.
5. Press
. The HOLD indicator will turn off. Measurements will continue from where they left
off prior to initiating Hold Mode.
Programming
With the DS-220, a programmable threshold weight, volume, or count will sound an alarm. The
alarm will sound when the displayed weight (either positive for increasing weight, or negative for
decreasing weight) equals the programmed weight. To program the alarm, perform the following
steps:
1. Set up the DS-220 in the desired weigh mode, units, and resolution as described in the Quick
Start Setup section above.
2. If measuring decreasing weight, place the objects or container with the objects or material
that will be removed on the weighing platform.
3. Press
to start the SET Mode, indicated by the SET annunciator on the LCD display. The
main numeric display will flash.
4. Press and/or hold the
or
keys to set the desired alarm set point. To change the set
point faster, press
. This will activate the FAST SET mode which will change the set point
10x faster than normal. Press
again to return to the normal speed SET mode.
5. Press
. The display will automatically change to zero and the RUN indicator will show to
indicate that the program is running.
