TARE WEIGHT ENTRY, Cont.
Pressing the
TARE
key will cause the currently displayed gross weight to be stored as the new tare
weight and cause the scale to enter the net weight display mode. The net weight display mode is
indicated by turning on the net annunciator. For example, on a HSDC-20, if the displayed gross
weight is 2.00 lb and you press the
TARE
key, the 2.00 lb would be entered as the new tare weight.
The scale would then enter the net weight mode and subtract the 2.00 lb tare value from the gross
weight displaying a net weight of 0.00 lb. If you added another 2.00 lb to the platform, the display
would indicate 2.00 lb of net weight. Pressing the
GROSS
key would return the scale to the gross
weight display 4.00 lb. NOTE: Remember the scale will only weigh to its maximum capacity. Any
combination of NET plus TARE weights over the scale capacity will result in a overload condition
and display
ot
. For example, using the HSDC-20 from above, with tare weight of 2.00 lb, adding
19.00 lb to the platform will cause an overload condition. This is because 2.00 lb tare weight plus
19.00 lb load weight equals 21.00 lb gross weight, which exceeds the capacity of the scale.
