6.0 OPERATIONS
6.1 SWITCHING ON THE SCALE
•
To switch on the scale, simply press the [On/Off] key, if using the
batteries. Otherwise connect the correct power supply module to the
rear of the base and then press the
[On/Off] key.
•
The display will show the software revision number and then flash all
digits and symbols before counting down to zero. This ensures all
LCD segments are working.
•
The scale will turn off automatically to conserve battery life if the
automatic turn off parameter is set (See section 8.1).
6.2 ZEROING THE SCALE
•
The ZERO and TARE function is combined into one key
[Tare/Zero] .
•
You can press the [Tare/Zero] key at any time to set a new zero
point. Re-zeroing the scale is necessary only if small amounts of
weight are still shown when the platform is empty. When the zero
point is obtained the display will show an indicator for zero and the
indicator stays on for as long as the scale is in zero condition.
•
If the scale is within 4% of the maximum capacity, pressing the
[Tare/Zero] key will zero the scale. However, if the weight on the
scale is more than 4%, pressing [Tare/Zero] key will tare the scale.
See the next section on taring of the scale.
•
The scale has an automatic zero tracking function to account for
environment or accumulation of material on the platform.
