3. OPERATION
3.1. Sample Weighing
1. Press TARE / ZERO to make the balance return to zero.
2. Load the sample onto the scale pan.
3. The weight is stable when g (depending on weighing unit is active) appears on the display.
NOTE:
For accurate weight results, it is important to load the sample to be weighed, onto the center of the
platform.
3.2. Weighing with a container
Sometimes it is necessary to weigh an object (such as a liquid) using a container. To display just the weight
of the contents (net weight) and not the whole combined weight (gross weight), the TARE button is used.
1. Place an empty container on the weighing pan.
2. Once the weight stabilizes, press the TARE / ZERO key briefly. The display will return to zero.
3. Add the sample to the container.
4. The weight is stable when g (depending on weighing unit is active) appears on the display.
3.3. Unit Switching
This balance has 10 possible weighing units. They are gram (g), carat (ct), pound (lb), ounce (oz), troy ounce
(oz), grain (GN), pennyweight (dwt), Newton (N), Tola (T), and T/A/R. Follow these instructions to change the
weighing unit:
1. Press the UNIT button.
2. The weighing unit will cycle between the different weighing units with each press of the button.
Notes
: The balance will default to the last unit used when turned on the next time.
3.4. Parts Counting
With items of uniform weight (ie. all the pieces are of equal weight value) it is possible to use this scales parts
counting feature to quickly and accurately obtain a piece count. To use the parts counting feature, follow
these instructions:
1. Press the MODE key until the display shows “pcs” to indicate parts counting mode.
2. The display will show “10 pcs” to indicate that you should place a sample quantity of 10 pieces onto the
platform. You may change the sample size by pressing the “CAL” button. Possible sample sizes are 10, 20, 50,
100, 150, 200, 250, and 500.
3. Press MODE again once you have selected the proper sample quantity.
4. You can now add any number of pieces to the platform (or container) and the display will show a count.
5. To exit counting mode press the MODE key.
Notes:
The larger the sample size used, the more accurate the count will be. Tare can be used in this mode.
The reference sample is not stored upon exiting parts counting mode.
3.5. Percent Weiging
The Percent Weighing function can be used to measure relative weight of an unknown sample when
compared to a reference sample. To use the percent weighing function, follow these instructions:
1. Place the reference sample that corresponds to 100% onto the weighing platform.
