6.3 PARTS
COUNTING
The basic function of parts counting is same for both the scales. In order to do
parts counting it is necessary to know the average weight of the items to be
counted. This can be done either by weighing a known number of the items and
letting the scale determine the average unit weight or by manually inputting a
known unit weight using the keypad.
Either of the scales can be used to determine the sample unit weight or for the
manual entry which can be used to count using either of the scales.
It is possible to increase the accuracy of the unit weight at any time during the
counting process by entering the count displayed and then pressing the
[Smpl]
key. You must ensure that the quantity displayed matches the quantity on the
scale before pressing the key. The unit weight can be adjusted based on a
larger sample quantity. This will give greater accuracy when counting larger
sample sizes.
6.3.1 Weighing a sample to determine the Unit Weight
To determine the average weight of the items to be counted place a known
quantity of the items on the scale and then enter the quantity being weighed.
The scale will then divide the total weight by the number of samples and display
the average unit weight.
•
Zero the scale by pressing the
[Zero]
key if necessary. If a container
is to be used, place the container on the scale and tare as discussed
earlier.
•
Place a known quantity of items on the scale. After the “
Weight
”
display is stable enter the quantity of items using the numeric keys
followed by pressing the
[Smpl]
key. The number of units will be
displayed on the "
Count
" display and the computed average weight
will be shown on the "
Unit Weight
" display.
•
As more items are added to the scale, the weight and the count will
increase.
•
If the scale is not stable, the calculation will not be completed.
•
If the weight is below zero, “
Count
” display will show negative count.
