PARTS COUNTING

SETTING UNIT WEIGHT

In order to do parts counting it is necessary to know the average weight of the items to
be counted. This can be done by weighing a known number of the items and letting the
scale determine the average unit weight or by manually inputting a known weight using
the keypad.
Weighing a sample to determine the Unit Weight
To determine the average weight of the items to be counted it will be necessary to place
a known quantity of the items on the scale and then to key in the quantity being
weighed.
The scale will then divide the total weight by the number of samples and display the
average unit weight.
Zero the scale by pressing the ZERO key if necessary. If a container is to be used,
place the container on the scale and tare as discussed earlier.
Place a known quantity of items on the scale. After the weight display is stable enter the
quantity of items using the numeric keys followed by the SMPL key. The number of
units will be displayed on the "Count" display and the computed average weight will be
shown on the "Unit Weight" display.
As more items are added to the scale, the weight and the count will increase.
If the scale is not stable, the calculation will not be completed. If the weight is below
zero, the Count display will show negative count.
Entering a Known Unit Weight
If the unit weight is already known then it is possible to enter that value using the
keypad.
Enter the value of the unit weight using the numeric keys followed by pressing the UNIT
WT key. The "Unit Weight " display will show the value as it was entered.
The sample is then added to the scale and the weight will be displayed as well as the
quantity based upon the unit weight. When weighing in kilograms the unit weight is
shown in grams. When weighing in pounds the unit weight is also in pounds.
