6-2. Counting Mode (PCS)
This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample based on the standard
sample unit mass. The unit mass means an average mass of the samples. The smaller the
variation in the samples, the more accurate the count will be. The balance is equipped with
the Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) function to improve the counting
accuracy.
Note
If the sample unit mass variable, the difference from sample to sample, is too large, it
may cause a counting error.
Selecting The Counting Mode
Step 1 Press the
MODE
key to select the unit
pcs
(counting mode).
Storing A Sample Unit Mass (Weighing Input Mode)
Step 2 Press the
SAMPLE
key to enter the sample unit mass storing mode.
Step 3 To select the number of samples using the
SAMPLE
key. It may be set to 10, 25, 50 or 100.
Advise
A greater number of samples will yield a more
accurate counting result.
Step 4 Place a container on the weighing pan, if necessary.
Press the
RE-ZERO
key to cancel the weight (tare).
The number specified in step 3 appears.
Example:
25 0
pcs is displayed if 25 is selected in step 3.
Step 5 Place the number of samples specified on the pan.
In this example, 25 pieces.
Step 6 Wait for the stabilization indicator to come on.
Press the
PRINT
key to calculate and store the unit
mass. Then the balance displays
25 pcs
and is set to
count samples with this unit mass. (The sample unit
mass stored, even if the AC adapter is removed, is
maintained in non-volatile memory.) To improve the
accuracy of the unit mass, go to step 8.
Notes
If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light and
can not be stored as the unit mass, it displays
lo
.
If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light to
acquire accurate weighing, it displays an error requiring the
addition of more samples to the specified number.
Example:
1 50 - pcs
appears, requiring 25 more samples. Add 25
samples and press the
PRINT
key. When the unit mass is
stored correctly, the balance goes to the counting mode.
The unit mass can be input numerically.
Refer to "12-4-1. Storing the unit mass".
Counting Operation
Step 7 Place the samples to be counted on the pan.
Advise
Multiple unit masses can be stored in the balance. Refer to "12. Data Memory".
