15.3  Auto-zeroing function    

 

Auto-

zeroing  special  function  ensures  that  balance’s  indications  close  to  zero  will  be  corrected 

automatically and when the pan is unloaded zero indication will be maintained (regardless of environment 
conditions). 

 

  
To turn on the function use navigation keys and 

ENTER 

key, choose Status
