warning permits counting operations to continue however.
•
‘More
Samples
Needed’:
The total number of the samples on the platform is below the
limit necessary for accurate counting.
3.4 Tare Operation
In order to subtract the weight of the container or vessel from the scale’s reading, it is
necessary to enter that weight as the tare weight. This value can be entered into the 160310
