Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor)
This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of your
basic formula for a specific paint color (e�g� 250 ml of a 1 l formula)� You can select
various factors (amounts) by pressing the
K
factor key (6):
0�5 1�0 1�5 2�0 2�5 3�0 3�5 4�0 4�5 5�0 10�0 15�0 20�0 25�0�
By pressing the
‘Up’ (18)
R
key
or
‘Down’ (16)
S
key
you can change the value – in 1�0 increments, as a factor of 5�0
– in 0�1 increments, as a factor of 1�0
or
– 0�01 increments, up to a factor of 1�0�
Note:
A flashing arrow
n
on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not valid
in legal metrology (i�e�, not legal for trade)�
Example:
As you pour the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in »
g
«�
Let’s suppose you want to weigh 3 kg for a basic formula that has a total of 1kg, and you
don’t want to have to manually recalculate the individual components of the formula�
The basic formula for 1 kg is:
250 g First component
+
250 g Second component
+
500 g Third component
Total: 1000 g
1� Place the empty paint can on the load
plate and tare the scale�
2� Press the
K
factor key (6) repeatedly to
set the factor to “3�0” for this example�
