Annunciators

The LaserLight3 provides status information about the weight value displayed. The LaserLight3 also has arrows and traffic lights that can be displayed by sending serial commands.

 

Annunciators	Description
Traffic Symbols	Red stop light, red x, green go light, green up arrow, green left arrow, and green right arrow
Weight Value	Displays weighment data
>0< →0←	The center of zero annunciator indicates the current gross weight reading is within ± 0.25 display divisions of the acquired zero, or is within the center of zero band. A display division is the resolution of the displayed weight value, or the smallest incremental increase or decrease which can be displayed or printed
	The standstill annunciator indicates the weight is at standstill or within the specified motion band. Some operations, including zero, tare and print, can only be done when the standstill annunciator is displayed
GR NT	Displays which weight display mode is active, GR (Gross) or NT (Net)
lb kg oz g tn t	The current unit displays at the right side of the numeric weight area and specifies which unit of measure is being used. Indicates units associated with the displayed value, represents primary and secondary units such as lb, kg, g, oz, tn and t. The units are changed by pressing the Units button

NOTE: The layout of annunciators and size of weight digits vary depending on which mode is configured in the Display menu. Legacy mode provides about 3.75-inch weight digits with annunciators along the bottom of the display, intended to support predecessor LaserLight2 display mode. Standard mode provides about 5-inch weight digits with annunciators stacked vertically along the right side.
