Tare Menu (
Tare
)
The
Tare
menu is used to select the tare mode. There
are three modes of operation:
Capture Tare
,
Programmable Tare
, and
Off
.
Capture Tare:
Pressing the Tare key zeroes the
display and the “T” indicator flashes indicating that
tare is applied to the reading (e.g. Net weight).
Programmable Tare:
Program a known value to be
subtracted from the display value to obtain the net
value. Pressing Reset tare clears the tare value to
zero. Programmable Tare will not tare negative PVs.
Use Capture Tare for negative PVs.
Off
: Tare function is disabled and pressing Tare key
has no effect.
Tare Functionality (
tare
)
The tare function zeroes out the display. In the case
of scale weight, tare is used to eliminate container
weight and provide net weight readings.
Manual Control Menu (
Contrl
)
The
Manual Control
menu is used to control the
4-20 mA analog output and the relays manually,
ignoring the input. Each relay and analog output can
be programmed independently for manual control.
Selecting automatic control sets all relays and analog
output for automatic operation.
Advanced Features Menu

for most applications are located in the

Features
menu.
