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
formulation key (7):
0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0.
By pressing the
R
key (3): upwards
or
S
key (4): downwards,
you can alter the value – in 0.1 increments, as of factor 1.0
or
– 0.01 increments, from factor 0.25 to 1.0.
Important Note:
The flashing arrow
n
on the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use
in legal metrology (not legal for trade).
Example:
As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.”
Let’s suppose you want to weigh only 250 ml of a basic formula that is for a total amount
of 1 l. With the recalculation mode, you do not need to manually recalculate the indi-
vidual components.
The basic formula for 1 liter is:
250 g 1
st
component
+
250 g 2
nd
component
+
500 g 3
rd
component
Total: 1000 g

1. Place the empty paint can on the
weighing pan and tare (zero the display).
2. Press the
K
formulation key (7) several
times to select the conversion factor “.25"
used in this example.
