OPERATION
GRAM/OUNCE SCALE
CAUTION
Always turn the scale OFF before selecting a display
mode of Gram or Ounce. Changing modes while
weighing may affect the accuracy of the scale.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the total capacity of the Gram/Ounce
scale (2000 g / 70 oz) when weighing objects or
combinations of objects. Exceeding the total
capacity of the scale will cause a readout display of
"E" and may cause damage to the scale.
The AVA system contains an electronic gram/ounce scale (WP0004 00 figure 3) for measurement of the weights used
in the balance of aircraft equipment. The scale is capable of measuring weights of up to 2000 grams / 70 ounces in
either the "normal" or "TARE" modes.
a.
Normal Mode of Operation
The normal mode of operation is as follows:
1. Place the scale on a flat surface that is not subject to vibration or air movement.
CAUTION
Always turn the scale OFF before selecting a display
mode of Gram or Ounce. Changing modes while
weighing may affect the accuracy of the scale.
2. Select a weighing mode by sliding the Gram/Ounce selector switch to either the Gram or Ounce mode.
3. Turn the scale on by pressing the ON/TARE switch on the front panel and wait for a "0" (zero) indication.
CAUTION
Do not exceed the total capacity of the Gram/Ounce
scale (2000 g / 70 oz) when weighing objects or
combinations of objects. Exceeding the total
capacity of the scale will cause a readout display of
"E" and may cause damage to the scale.
4. Place the weight to be measured as near to the center of the top tray as possible.
5. Read the weight of the object on the front panel display. The readout may wander slightly due to the
sensitivity that is affected by the slightest vibration or air movement.
b.
TARE Mode of Operation
The TARE mode of operation is as follows:
1. Place the scale on a flat surface that is not subject to vibration or air movement, and gently insert the top
tray.
