14.1 Parts counting

With parts counting you can either count parts into a container or remove parts from
a container. To count a greater number of parts the average weight per part has to
be determined with a small quantity (reference quantity). The larger the reference
quantity, the higher the counting exactness. High reference must be selected for
small parts or parts with considerably different sizes.
The process has four steps:
• Tare the weighing container
• Determine the reference unit
• Weigh in the reference unit
• Count the items
Condition: Function "U- PSC" activated (ch. 11.3)
Repeatedly press the [UNIT] until display is in percentage
mode. The display symbol PCS pops up.
(When PCS is used for the
first time)
If you are using a weighing container use the [TARE] key for
taring.
To determine the reference piece number, place 10, 20, 50 or
100 counting parts on the balance.
Press the [CAL] key
Repeated pressing of the [CAL] key allows the change between
the following reference piece numbers "Ld 10", "Ld 20","Ld 50"
and "Ld 100".
Important: The larger the reference quantity, the more accurate
the parts counting.
When standstill control ( ) is complete, confirm your reference
piece number by pressing the [TARE] key.
(When loading 20 pieces)
The display shows "SEt" for several seconds and the stored
reference piece number is displayed.
