Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as a cane, can be subtracted from
the total weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function
automatically performs this subtraction. The 3001KL-AM/3001KL-AMC scales allow
tare weight to be entered manually by using the keypad, or automatically, as outlined in
this section.
Tare
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to power on the scale.
2. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display.
3. Place the object to be tared on the scale. The display will show a value for the
object's weight.
4. Press the TARE button. The scale will zero out, and the word "TARE" will appear at
the bottom center of the display, indicating that there is a tare value for the object.
5. Remove the object from the scale. Once the object is removed from the scale, the
display will show a negative weight, equal to the weight of the object.
6. Place the patient and the object back on the scale. The scale will automatically
deduct the tare weight of the object from the gross weight of the patient and object
together.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. With no weight on the scale, the tare value will remain on the display until changed,
cleared, or until the scale is powered off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE button. The word "TARE" will disappear from
the bottom of the display, and the tare value will be cleared from the display. The scale
will resume normal operation.
To Tare with a Known Weight / Pre-Tare (Limit 200 lb / 91kg)
1. Make sure that there is no object on the scale.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to power on the scale.
