Activating Tares
To activate a tare from the list, line up on it and the “ACTV” function in the lower menu, then press ENTER. The tare will be
made
active, the scale switched to NET mode and you will immediately be placed back in the weighing screen you were in when you
accessed the setup menu.
Tare Settings
In this screen, the way the tares behave can be changed. This also depends on what options you have installed in your system. The
selection settings can be changed using the horizontal menu at the bottom of the screen. The following selections apply.
Persistent Tare
Selecting this option to “Yes” will allow the
scale to maintain the tare activation even when the power is recycled. This will apply to
both, stored tares and quick tares (tares from the keyboard). So, if the user activates a Tare from the Tare Definition Screen, and
recycles power, the scale will remember the last tare activated. Please note that when the scale is turned on the next time while a tare
has been activated,
the scale will not show “0”
with an empty platform.
There will be negative number that will likely show up on the
screen corresponding to your tared value.
Selecting this option to ”No” will remove the persistent tare feature. Tares will not be
remembered after power is recycled.
The System Menu
The system menu contains many useful features for checking and configuring your scale. To access, press the MENU button, then
select SETUP MENU->SYSTEM.
Any feature that is not described here should not be touched. An attempt to do so may severely affect your scale. Each feature is
outlined below.
Backup
Use this function to create a backup of the current scale configuration internally. Use this function and follow the prompts on screen to
perform a backup of your scale.
Restore
Use this function to restore a backup of a previous scale configuration. This is helpful if you already created a backup of your previous
working configuration. Use this function and follow the prompts on screen to restore of your scale to a previous backed up
configuration.
Restore to Factory Defaults

back to its factory calibrated settings. Use this function and follow the prompts on the scale to complete it.

1.
Completely unplug the scale. Wait for a few minutes, then re-plug power to the scale.
2.
Press the MENU button and go to SYSTEM. Press ENTER.
3.
In the System Menu, scroll to SAW Scale Setup and then press ENTER.
4.
Scroll down and select RESTORE TO FACTORY DEFAULTS. Press ENTER.
5.
If there are any warnings that popup, just press ENTER to confirm.
6.
If the Restore was successful, the scale will automatically reboot.
