6.1 ZEROING AND TARING THE DISPLAY
The Tare and Zero function are combined into one key. When the gross
weight is within ±2% of the zero, set at power on for either scale then a
new zero is set. If the gross weight is greater than ±2% then the tare
function is performed.
ZEROING
•
You can press the
[Tare/Zero]
key at any time to set the zero point
from which all other weighing and counting is measured. When the
zero point is obtained the
Weight
display will show the indicator at
“
Zero
”.
•
The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor
drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you
may need to press the
[Tare/Zero]
to re-zero the scale if small
amounts of weight are still shown even when the platform is empty.
TARING
Select the local or remote scale as applicable by pressing the
[Local Rem]
key.
Preset tare values can be used with both the local and remote scale. If a new
tare value is to be used, there are two methods for entering a tare value. The
first method uses the weight on the platform and the second uses a value to be
entered by the user.
First method of entering a tare value:
•
Zero the scale by pressing the
[Tare/Zero]
key, if necessary. The
arrow indicator over “
Zero
” will be on.
•
Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be
displayed.
•
Press the
[Tare/Zero]
key to tare the scale. The weight that was
displayed is stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted
from the display, leaving zero on the display. The arrow over "
Net
"
will be on. As product is added only the net weight of the product will
be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another type of
product was to be added to the first one. Again only the weight that
is added after taring will be displayed.
