Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a chair, can be subtracted from the total
weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function automatically
performs this subtraction. The 1100KL scales allow tare weight to be entered manually by using
the keypad, or automatically, as outlined in this section.
Tare
1. With all weight off the scale, press the
ON/OFF
button to power on the scale.
2. Wait until the “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG appears on the display.
3. Place the object to be tarred on the scale. The display will show a value for the object’s
weight.
4. Press the
TARE
button. The scale will zero out, and the word “TARE” will appear at the
bottom center of the display, indicating that there is a tare value for the object.
5. Remove the object from the scale. Once the object is removed from the scale, the display
will show a negative weight, equal to the weight of the object.
6. Place the patient and the object back on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the
tare weight of the object from the gross weight of the patient and object together.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. With no weight on the scale, the tare value will remain on the display until changed, cleared,
or until the scale is powered off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the
TARE
button. The word “TARE” will disappear from the
bottom of the display, and the tare value will be cleared from the display. The scale will resume
normal operation.

buttons to enter the weight of the object. Press the
