Parts Counting
To use Parts Counting, it must first be activated in the Menu. Refer to
Menu section to activate parts counting. The balance will count parts
based on the weight of a reference sample of 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100
parts. For optimum results, the parts should be uniform in weight.
1. Place a container on the pan and press >O/T< to tare it.
2. With the balance ON, press and hold >O/T< until SEt PCS is
displayed, then release it. The display shows SEt XX , where XX is
the last used counting sample. To change the sample size,
repeatedly press
Mode Off and stop at the desired sample num-
ber. Choices are 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 pieces.
3. Add the selected number of parts to the container, then press
>O/T< . The display shows the number of parts added.
4. Add parts as desired and read the quantity on the display.
5. To read the weight of the parts, press Mode Off
to change to any of
the activated weighing units. You can return to parts counting at
any time by repeatedly pressing
Mode Off until the parts counting
indicator is displayed. Sample weight is retained as long as the
balance remains plugged in or you change it by the procedure
above.

CALIBRATION
Adventurer
TM
balances are calibrated before shipment, however, cali-
bration can be affected by changes in location, temperature, or rough
handling. Adventurer
TM balances can be calibrated in two ways: Span
calibration or Linearity calibration. Span calibration resets the
balance's weighing range using two weight values: zero and a weight
value at or near the balance's capacity. Linearity calibration mini-
mizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within the
balance's weighing range. Three weight values are used: zero, a
weight value within the balance's weighing range and a weight value
at or near the balance's specified capacity.
