9. FUNCTION SWITCH AND INITIALIZATION

9-1 Permit or Inhibit

The balance stores parameters that must not be changed unintentionally (e.g. Calibration data for
accurate weighing, data for adapting to the operating environment, control data for the RS-232C
interface). There are two switches for protecting the parameters. The switches can select either
“permit” or “inhibit”. The “inhibit” protects parameters against unintentional operations. There is an
additional switch for the extended functions of the AD-4212A.

Switches
