Check-Weighing HI / OK/ LO limits: The AFP/ADG Series feature a check-weighing mode.  You can set the HI Limit (over) and LO Limit (under) and anything in between will result in the OK Limit to be activated on the balance's display.  Simply by pressing the "F" keypad and cycling through the function settings to the check-weighing mode.  Using the "Print", "On/Off" and "F" key on the display you can configure the HI/LO Limits anywhere between 0 and the weighing capacity of the balance.

Here is how it works with a simple example you can understand.  We'll say you're a Quality Control Manager for a plastic injection mold factory.  Sometimes the plastic parts have air pockets due to the setup of the injection mold machines.  I eliminate the production of inferior plastic parts that can crack or break since the plastic part is not solid you set up a ADG3000L next to each injection machine and have the operator verify a part every 15 minutes to ensure a quality part is produced.  To eliminate any misunderstandings of what is an acceptable weight for the particular part being produced you configure the HI/LO limits on the balance.  Now the machine operator only needs to look at the display and verify the "OK" is illuminated on the display.  If it shows "LO" the machine needs to be stopped and adjustments made to eliminate the air voids that are occurring in the parts.
