1. GENERAL INFORMATION WTC precision scale enables fast and accurate mass measurements under laboratory conditions. The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped with an anti-draft shield, is an integral part of the WTC scale. Due to a backlit LCD display the measurement result is clearly visible.
Pb = lead, Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury. 3. WARRANTY CONDITIONS A. RADWAG feels obliged to repair or exchange all elements that appear to be faulty by production or by construction. B. Defining defects of unclear origin and means of their elimination can only be realized with assistance of manufacturer and user representatives.

21. WORKING MODE – PARTS COUNTING Parts Counting is a working mode enabling you to determine quantity of small pieces of the same mass, which determination is done on the basis of mass of sample piece (single part), and where the sample piece mass (single part mass) is determined using the weighing device.
• Enter respective value and press key to confirm, home screen is displayed automatically along with quantity of parts loaded onto the weighing pan (pcs). If the value of entered single part mass is greater than max capacity value, then message <Err Hi> is displayed. 21.3.
In the course of parts quantity determination before confirming the declared quantity value it is necessary to wait for a stable measurement, 22. WORKING MODE – +/- CONTROL +/- control is a working mode enabling you to enter checkweighing thresholds values (Min, Max).
If the entered high threshold value (Max) is greater than the maximum capacity value, <Err Hi> error is displayed. 23. WORKING MODE - PERCENT WEIGHING Percent weighing is a working mode enabling you to compare measured load mass with the reference sample mass. The result is expressed in [%]. Reference sample mass can be either determined by weighing or entered to weighing device memory by an operator.
