Weighing with One Decimal Place
Place an empty paint can on the load plate (1).
Press
=
(4). The display shows “
0.0
g.”
Pour in the first component, and read off the weight
as soon as the stability symbol appears; in this case, “
g
.”
Pour in additional components until the desired
weight of your formula is reached.
Remove the filled paint can from the load plate.
Calibration/Adjustment
You can calibrate/adjust the scale by pressing the
=
key (4). To do so, menu code 1 5 1 must be
selected. Calibration weight: 5,000 g; accuracy: class F1 + 0.075 g.
G
Never use a hammer to close the lid of a
paint can while it is still on the load plate, as this
will damage the weighing system.
After connection to AC power
and before each calibration/
adjustment, allow the scale to
warm up for approx. 30 min.
Hold down the
=
key (4) for
2 sec. When 5000 is
displayed, release the key.
Center the calibration weight
on the load plate (1).
Calibration/adjustment is
performed automatically. After
calibration/adjustment, remove
the calibration weight.
Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor)
This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of your basic formula
for a specific paint color (e.g., 25 l of a 1-l formula), without having to do any manual recalculation.
You can select from among the following factors (amounts) by pressing the
v
key (7):
0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 10, 15, 20, 25.
As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “
g
.”
Note:
The flashing arrow
n
on the display means that the weight shown is not valid for use in legal
metrology (not legal for trade).
