USING THE MINIMUM SAMPLE SIZE FEATURE
Similar looking pieces often may vary in weight, so it is necessary to use a “signifi-
cant” sample size when using your scale to count pieces. To count when your scale
has been setup to require a minimum sample size (see Appendix II), use the
following procedure:
1. Press the
—
key followed by the
count
key. The scale displays “Add nnn” where
nnn represents the programmed minimum sample size.
2. Place the required number of pieces on the pan.
3. Press the
count
key.
4. The display will flash “UpdAte” and then show the number of pieces on the pan.
Note:
If the minimum accuracy requirement is not met because fewer than the
required number of pieces have been placed on the pan, the scale will ask you
to add pieces. In this case, perform Steps 5-8 below.
5. Add the exact number of pieces requested by the scale.
6. Press the
count
key. The scale will display the number of pieces equal to the
minimum sample size required.
7. Add pieces to continue counting.
8. Wait for the "ok" symbol, then read the display. The scale now reads the total
number of pieces on the pan.
Note:
This feature may be used for kitting, by subtracting instead of adding.
USING THE MINIMUM ACCURACY FEATURE
Your scale can determine the count based on the average piece weight of a number
of pieces to a given degree of accuracy. The higher the degree of accuracy, the
larger the sample weight needs to be. If your scale has been setup to require a
certain degree of accuracy (see Appendix II), count using the following procedure:
1. Press the
zero
key.
2. Place a known number of pieces on the pan.
3. Enter the number of pieces on the pan.
4. Press the
count
key.
5. Wait for the "ok" symbol, then read the display. If the minimum weight necessary
to meet the desired level of accuracy has been placed on the pan, the scale will
display the correct count, and more pieces can be added. If less than the
