8. Basic Operations of Balance
8.1 Operation for Tare Range
(1) Load a container on the measurement pan and
press the Zero/Tare key.
Only the [M] mark at the lower left lights up and
flashes, and the tare is subtracted, the balance
indicating zero. The [

T
←
] (mark indicating
that the tare is being subtracted) lights up.

(2) Put the sample in the tare. Only the weight of the
sample will be shown.

(3) When the sample is unloaded along with the tare
from the measurement pan, the weight of the tare
is displayed as a negative (-) value.

Cautions:
1. Load and unload samples only after the safety mark [
○
] in the left corner of the display
lights up. If the loading or unloading is made before the safety mark comes on, the balance
may not be able to perform accurate measurement.
2. When the tare is subtracted, the measurable range is reduced. (Measurement Range =
Capacity - Tare Weight) Conduct measuring operations while checking the Measurement
Range on the bar graph.
3. When the balance indicates an exact zero-point, the zero-point mark [

] lights up.
8.2 Example of Application
The method for measuring the difference between products made with a given constant weight will
be explained below. If the Auto-Zero function is working properly, errors may be result during the
measurement of difference. Deactivate the Auto-Zero function in advance. (See “9. Functions of
Function 1” on page 30.)
(1) Load the reference sample and execute the tare range operation.
(2) Unload the sample, and replace it with the product to be checked. The difference from the
sample is displayed.
Caution:
Load and unload samples only after the safety mark [
○
] in the left corner of the display lights up.
If the loading or unloading is made before the safety mark comes on, the balance may not be
able to perform accurate measurement.
