is being displayed, and then press the
TARE/RESET
key.
When ‘-----’ and ‘TARE’ appear on the display, the sample pan moves
upward and downward. When a tone rings, then the reset is completed and
the display returns to ‘0.000 g’ .
* Always be sure that the heater lid is closed when performing a reset. Also make
sure that the tester is not exposed to drafts or breezes or subjected to any
vibrations when a reset is being performed.
5
Placing a sample in the tester
Open the lid to the heater and place the sample inside.
Be sure to place the sample as flat as possible into the tester so that heat is
applied evenly to the sample during measurement. (See “11. Precaution on
Conducting Measurements” for further information.)

is being displayed, and then press the

* There may be times when the stability indicator ( ) is not displayed because of
external vibrations or drafts or breezes. While it is possible to perform
measurements at such times, there may be cases when it is impossible to
obtain accurate measurements at such times, and you should accordingly
always be sure to conduct measurements in a location as free as possible of
vibrations, drafts, breezes, or any other harmful influences.
* Note: During Measurement
During measurement, the sample pan supporter moves upward and
downward automatically once per minute (or once every 30 seconds
when near the end of the measuring time) for automatic taring. The
movement is indicated by servo motor noise.
