The indicator uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of the items
you wish to count. When sampling items, always count the parts in your hand and place them on the
platform all at once. If the APW of the items is too light or the total weight of the sample is too light,
accuracy cannot be guaranteed. You will get an error message, but piece counting will still be
allowed. This indicator does not retain the piece weight when powered down.
1. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by
pressing the TARE key.
NOTE: The TARE key is inoperative when in sampling mode.
2. Press the F1 key. The screen shows “10” which is the default sample size.
3. Use the numeric keys to key-in the actual size of the sample (if different), e.g. 20, 50, 100, etc.
4. Place the sample items on the platform all at once and allow the weight indication to stabilize.
5. Press the ENTER key to take the sample. If the sample size is large enough, the indicator now
displays the number of pieces on the platform and the unmarked annunciator is lit. If not, the
indicator briefly displays “Lo” and returns back to weighing mode.
NOTE: If you encounter the “Lo” message, try increasing the sample size. If you continue to see
the “Lo” message, then the unit weight of the items you wish to count is too light for your scale to
process accurately.
6. To exit the piece count mode, press the C/CE key.
NOTE: The APW will NOT remain in scale memory when you exit piece counting mode.
If you already know the APW of the items you wish you count, may simply key-in the value instead of
taking a sampling. Please ensure that the indicator is displaying the correct unit of measure (lb
or kg) before starting.
1. Press the Enter key; the display flashes “APW” three times and then shows a zero value with a
fixed decimal point position.
2. Using the numeric keys, key-in the APW value and then press Enter. The indicator automatically
switches to PCS mode.
NOTE: If you encounter the “Lo” message, then the unit weight of the items you wish to count is
too light for your scale to process accurately.
Use the Over and Under keys to program in a pieces target for checkweighing.
PERCENTAGE APPLICATION (F30 = 4)
11
IMPORTANT NOTE: The percentage application cannot be used in commercial (NTEP)
applications.
This application allows the user to display the weight of a sample as a percentage of a reference
weight.
Upon power up, this mode works a lot like the Gross/Net/Tare mode. Use the F1 key to activate the
percentage mode. Once in percentage mode, the UNITS key becomes inactive.
To exit the percentage mode and return to weighing mode, press the C/CE key.
