Checkcountlng

Checkcounting enables you to use the balance for checking
batches or bundles of items as normal but with the ability to
update the piece weight of the components.

1.

Set up the balance for counting by following steps 1. to 3.
on page 13.

2.

Switch off the balance.

3.

Switch on the balance with the checkweigher connected.

The balance display shows the last stored UNDER value
and a small u to the right of the display.

4.

Press  

g

g

  to select count.

5.

Go  to page 15 and follow the instructions for
checkweighing in section 7.3 from step 2.  Set the UNDER
and OVER limits by count and not weight.

6.

With the same under and over values you can set a new
piece weight by re–sampling as described in steps 1. to 3.
