8.6 Counting the number of pieces
Before it is possible to count pieces using the scale, you should determine the average
weight of an individual piece (unit weight), the so-called reference value. To do it,
place the specific number of pieces which the counting the number of pieces will be
carried out for. The scale will determine the total weight which will be divided by the
number of pieces, the so-called reference piece number. Next, based on the calculat-
ed mean weight of an individual piece, the number of pieces will be counted.
•
The higher number of the reference pieces, the higher the accuracy of
counting the number of pieces.
•
For small or highly diverse pieces, the reference value must be sufficiently
high.
•
For the minimum weight of the counted pieces, see the “Technical specifi-
cation” table.
1. Calling the piece counting mode
Press
MODE
in the weighing mode, red LED above PCS will be lit. < > will be
displayed.
2. Setting the reference value
Whenever required, place an empty container on the scale and tare it.
To enter the number of reference pieces, press
M
, <
> will be displayed.
Enter the required number of reference pieces using
TARE
and
ZERO
, for enter-
ing a value in the numerical form, see chapter 3.2.1
.
Place the number of pieces corresponding to the number of reference pieces and
confirm by pressing
M
.
The mean weight of an individual piece will be determined by the scale and then
the piece quantity will be displayed.
Remove the reference load. The scale is in the counting mode and counts all
pieces present on the scale plate.
3. Leaving the piece counting mode
Press
MODE
, the scale will switch to the weighing mode again.
Red LED above PCS will go off.
