13.7 Pretaring Value
This function is used to weigh the mass of a sample packed in a container such as a bottle or bag with-
out opening the container. Pretare function should be used only if the mass of each container does not
vary from sample to sample. Instead of zero, the pretare value is displayed (as a negative value) when
the
[O/T]
key is pressed. The pretare value is then subtracted from the total load on the balance pan to
display the weight of the sample.

Pretare Value
Cancel the Pretare value by setting the value to zero.
When a Pretare value other than zero has been set, the Tare symbol illumi-
nates.
The Pretare value is set using the “g” unit. The maximum value is the
weighing capacity of the balance.
Check the Pretare value by pressing and holding the
[O/T]
key for approxi-
mately 3 seconds during weighing.
Use the AKB-301 external keypad if you have to change the Pretare value
frequently.
