6.3.2 Conversion between Metric (kg and/or g) and Imperial

(lb) weight

units (F9)

This instrument supports conversion among kg, g and lb. To enable this

conversion function, set F9 = ON. Press

[UNIT]

to shift among various weight

units.

The weight unit employed before power off will be employed when powered on

again.

6.4 Tare Off the Weight of A Container

Tare function is used to temporarily set the scale to zero (such as cancelling

the weight of a box or a container) in order to get the net weight result

6.4.1 Manual Tare

When a container is used, follow the below steps to tare off the weight of it and

to get a net weight result.

a. Remove all loads from platform,

b. Make sure that the

ZERO INDICATOR

is on. If not, press

[ZERO]

c. Place container on platform,

d. Press

[TARE]

NET INDICATOR

appears to indicator when tare is in effect and weight

displayed is net weight. Refer to

Specifications

for maximum tare range,

To cancel tare effect, remove all loads from platform and press

[TARE]

NET INDICATOR

disappears.

GROSS INDICATOR

appears to indicate

tare effect has been removed and weight displayed is gross weight.

6.4.2 Auto Tare

(F12)

If this function is enabled, this instrument will assume the first stable weight

applied is a container and will tare off the weight of it automatically.

When container is removed and gross weight result = zero, tare effect will be

cancelled automatically.

To comply with the laws of certain countries and approval requirements, the imperial weight

unit may be disabled. Contact your dealer for more information.

Set F12 = ON to enable Auto Tare Function.
