8.7 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
calculated 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
specification” table.
1. Calling the piece counting mode
Ensure the application unit [pcs] is enabled, see chapter 8.5.
Using the
UNIT
button, select the application unit [pcs].
<
> will be displayed.
2. Setting the reference value
Whenever required, place an empty container on the scale and tare it.
Place the required number of reference items.
Press , the currently set number of reference pieces will be displayed (e.g. 10)
<
>.
Using the
ZERO
button, select the number of reference pieces (10, 20, 50, 100,
200, 500) corresponding to the placed reference load and confirm by pressing
.
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
Every pressing of the
UNIT
button results in switching to another weight unit
(e.g. kg).
