OPERATIONS
10.1 ZEROING
You can press the
[Zero]
key at any time to set the zero point from which all other
weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary when the
platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the display will show the zero
indicator.
The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor drifting or
accumulation of material on the platform. However you may need to press
[Zero]
to
re-zero the scale if small amount of weight is still shown when the platform is empty.
10.2 TARING
Zero the scale by pressing
[Zero]
. The zero indicator will be on. Place a container
on the pan and its weight will be displayed.
Press
[Tare]
when the reading is stable. The weight that was displayed is stored as
the tare value and it is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display. The
stable and
Net
indicator will be on.
As a product is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale could
be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to the first one.
Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
NOTE:
When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the scale was tared
just before removing the container, this value is the gross weight of the container plus
all products which were removed. The zero indicator will also be on as the platform
is back to the same condition it was when
[Zero]
was pressed last.
Press
[Tare]
/
[Zero]
to remove the tare value and display zero. The
Net
indicator
will disappear.
10.3 WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container if used, then place
the sample in the container. The display will show the weight and the unit of weight
currently in use.
To change the weighing unit press the
[Unit]
key. The available weighing units are
the ones that are enabled by the user in the parameters section. See section 12.2.
