5-3. Units
The most common unit of weight used around the world is the gram, but there is often a need to shift to alternative units specific to the country where the balance is used or to select modes such as counting or percent.
The units and the order they appear in the display are as follows:
Ounce (avoir) | Pound | |
Metric carat | ||
Percent mode | ||
|
Counting mode
Momme
Pennyweight
Gram
Grain
Density Newton (specific gravity)
Among the units, those available for the user have been set at the factory before shipping.
The unit can be selected in the function setting mode. The order of the units available is the same as above.
Note
It is possible to store only the units that will be actually used from the units available. It is also possible to specify the display unit that will be shown first when the power is switched ON. For details, see
