Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode
Let’s suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula (in
this example, a 4-component recipe).
This example further assumes that you previously poured in all of the other amounts exactly
according to each of the values you entered and saved by pressing the
L
key [MEM] (9).
To correct for the overpour, press the
S
key (16) to start the recalculation program;
C
flashes
on the display. Use the
R
key (18; up) or
S
key (16; down) to correct the value so that it
matches the amount called for in the formula. Then press
L
[MEM] (8) to have the scale
calculate the amount to be added for each of the components that were already poured.
The display shows the amounts required to correct the formula up to the point at which the
overpour occurred. After the correction has been completed, you can continue filling the
remaining components.
Note:
You can correct overpours as often as needed.
Keep in mind that the total quantity of paint at the conclusion of filling increases each time
you correct a component. Press the
c
key (7) to check how much the total quantity will be.
The
C
stands for “Correction factor.”
A flashing arrow
n
on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not valid in
legal metrology (i.e., not legal for trade).

next to the weight readout.
4. Slowly pour in the first component until the
display shows
250 g
5. Pour in the second component until
500 g
is
displayed.
6. Pour in the last component
until 1000 g
is
displayed
This concludes the recalculation example.
According to the display, exactly 1000 g was poured
in, but the paint can actually contains 3 kg by weight
in accordance with the factor you selected (3).
The procedure is the same for any other conversion
factor.
