KEYS

MEANING

ZERO

The ZERO key sets the current Gross weight to Zero, provided the amount of weight to be
removed is within the specified Zero range and the scale is not in motion.

UNITS

The UNITS key switches the weight display to an alternate unit. The alternate units can be Lb,
Kg, Oz, Lb-Oz, Gross, Tare.

TARE

The TARE key is used to establish a pushbutton Tare provided the scale is not at or below
Gross Zero.

PRINT

ENT

The PRINT/ENT key has two functions first it can be used to transmit an on demand output
through the serial port to a printer or other peripheral device. Secondly, under the Print is ENT
which represents ENTER. This allows you to store information into an Item ID memory file.

--

The numeral One key has two functions first it can be used to enter in the value of 1 when
entering in a known Tare or Over/Under/Target value. Secondly, on this key there is an
additional symbol of an upward pointing arrow. The arrow is utilized in the F and A setup menu

s

allowing the operator to toggle through individual parameters.

2

¯¯

The numeral Two key has two functions first it can be used to enter in the value of 2 when
entering in a known Tare or Over/Under/Target value. Secondly, on this key there is an
additional symbol of a downward pointing arrow. The arrow is utilized in the F and A setup
menu

s allowing the operator to enter into specific setup parameters.

3

SET

The numeral Three key has three functions first it can be used to enter in the value of 3 when
entering in a known Tare or Over/Under/Target value. Secondly, the SET text on this key acts a
a SAVE command when in the setup parameters or when saving OVER/UNDER/TARGET
values. The third function allows the operator to reset the scale, but only when the scale is in the
Gross weighing mode.

The numeral Four key has two functions first it can be used to enter in the value of 4 when
entering in a known Tare or Over/Under/Target value. Secondly, on this key there is an
additional symbol of a pointing West. The arrow is utilized in the F and A setup menu

s allowing

the operator to toggle backwards through the setup parameters.

The numeral Five key has two functions first it can be used to enter in the value of 5 when
entering in a known Tare or Over/Under/Target value. Secondly, on this key there is an
additional symbol of a pointing West. The arrow is utilized in the F and A setup menu

s allowing

the operator to toggle backwards through the setup parameters.

6,7,8,9,0

Keys six through nine and zero are used to enter numeric values only.

MIN

The MIN key displays the current

UNDER TOLERENCE

value and allows the operator to enter

in a new UNDER value if desired.

MAX

The MAX key displays the current

OVER TOLERENCE

value and allows the operator to enter

in a new OVER value if desired.

CLEAR

Used to reset the scale to normal weighing operation. Clears current min and max values but
does not affect database information.

TARGET

Used to clear incorrect key input. Backs up one character at a time.
