weight and changes the display to NET mode. The next press of

• Only positive gross weight readings can be tared.
• The
must be off indicating weight reading is stable.
• Setting or changing the tare has no effect on the gross zero setting.
• Taring will reduce the apparent over range of the scale.
Example: Taring a 100 lb container on a 1000 lb scale, the scale will overload at a net weight of 900 lb (1000-100)
plus any additional allowed overload (usually ~4% or 9d).
• The scale stores the tare value in non-volatile memory and is restored when power is cycled.
