Tare - Rules for Use:
1) Only positive gross weight readings can be tared. Weight can be tared in both the NET and GROSS modes.
When in the NET mode, the TARE is not cumulative, all the weight is zeroed.
2) The motion annunciator must be off. The weight reading must be stable.
3) Setting or changing the tare has no effect on the Gross zero setting.
4) Taring will reduce the apparent over range of the scale. For example, taring a 10 lb.. container on a 60 lb..
scale, the scale will overload at a net weight of 50 lb.. (60-10) plus any additional allowed overload (usually
~4% or 9d).
5) The scale stores the Tare value in the current ID Code memory until cleared. Each available ID Code can store
independent Tare values.
Multiple Tare Memories
The 3750CS is capable of storing Tare values through the use of the ID Codes. Each ID code stores an independent
Tare. See Section 3 “ID Codes” for more information.
SETUP TARE
Programs the
TARE
key mode (TAREMODE), the automatic TARE Clear function (AUTO CLR), and the
TAREALL function.
UNIV TAR
TAREMODE
1) AUTO – Only Auto Tare is in operation. Every time the TARE key is pushed, the current weight on the scale
is tared.
2) KBD/UPDN – In this mode, pushing the TARE key will enable the numeric keypad for Keyboard Tare and
the
UP/DOWN
scroll keys for TARE
UP/DOWN
. Also in this mode, pushing the TARE button a second time
will enact AUTO Tare.
UNIV TAR
The Universal Tare feature allows a single Tare value to be shared by all ID Codes. With UNIV TAR enabled the
individual Tares stored with each ID Code are ignored (but not erased). Disabling UNIV TAR will restore the
original Tare values. UNIV TAR is intended for those applications where a common carrier or pallet is used, but
multiple ID Codes are necessary for data collection.
AUTO CLR
Enabling “AUTO CLR” causes the 3750CS to clear the Tare Value after each lift greater than 0 NET. The Tare
Value is cleared and the display mode reverts to Gross Weight once the load is removed (the weight goes below 0
NET). The “ON TOTAL” setting clears the Tare Value after the load is totaled. The default for the “AUTO CLR”
function is “DISABLED” . When disabled, the Tare Value can only be cleared manually (see “To Clear Tare and
return to Gross Mode”.)
