OPERATION
Parts Counting
Parts Counting is
enabled only when the Parts Counting Function is selected in the Setup
menu. Refer to page 38. In the parts counting mode, the balance displays the quantity of
parts you place on the pan. Since the balance determines the quantity based on the average
weight of a single part, all parts must be reasonably uniform in weight. The accuracy of parts
counting results is determined by the error level entered in PC Err of the Setup Options
submenu. Refer to page 43. The default setting for PC Err is off.
To perform parts counting when in a weighing mode, use the following procedure:
1.
ON
TARE
.
2.
ON
TARE
. The balance requires a sample of the parts to use
as a reference for counting. The default for the sample size is 5 parts, but this can be
changed to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, or 100 parts by
MODE
(Larger samples yield
more accurate results). Add the required number of sample pieces to the pan.
3.
ON
TARE
(indicates 5 pieces).
4. If Add X is displayed, the sample is too small to provide results within the selected error
level (PC Error of the Setup Options submenu).
NOTE: X represents the number of additional parts needed to provide a sufficient sample.
5. Add the required number of parts, then
ON
TARE
again.
6. To count additional pieces, add them to the pan. The display indicates the actual
number of pieces based on their sample size. Tolerance will be within whatever was
selected under the Parts Counting Error Level.
NOTE: If the balance controls are not touched, the sample size is stored in memory. You
can continue to use the balance to measure quantities as long as the samples to be
measured are of the same weight.
7.
MODE
to display the weight of the pieces on the pan.
8.
MODE
again to display the number of pieces.
9. To restart parts counting,
ON
TARE
.
10.
MODE
, the balance returns to a weighing mode.
