5-4. Selecting a weighing unit
Press the MODE key to select a unit.
The following sections are a description of the three
common units: g (gram mode), pcs (counting mode),
and % (percent mode).
5-5. Basic operation
1. Select a weighing unit.
2. When the display does not show zero, press the
ZERO/ON:OFF key to set the display to zero.
3. When using a tare (container), place the
container on the weighing pan, and press the
TARE key to subtract the tare weight.
4. Place the object to be weighed on the pan or in
the container.
Wait for the stability mark (
{
) to be displayed
and read the value.
5. Remove the object from the pan.
The ZERO/ON:OFF key will zero the
balance if the weight is within ±3% of the
weighing capacity around the calibrated
zero point. The ZERO mark turns on.
The TARE key will switch the balance to net weight mode and zero the
weight display when the weight is plus and less than 50% of the capacity. The
ZERO and NET marks turn on.
When the weight is below the zero point set by the ZERO/ON:OFF key, the
TARE key does not work.
Precautions during operation
Make sure that the stability mark is on whenever reading or storing a value.
Do not press the keys with a sharp object such as a pencil.
Do not apply a shock or a load to the pan that is beyond the weighing
capacity.
Keep the balance free from foreign objects such as dust or liquid.
Calibrate the balance periodically to keep weighing accuracy. (See “7.
CALIBRATION”.)
