TARING

• Zero the scale by pressing the [Zero] key if necessary. The indicator above
"Zero" will be on.
• Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be displayed.
• Press the [Tare] key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored
as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on
the display. The indicator above "Tare" will be on.
• As a product is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The scale
could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be added to
the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring will be displayed.

PARTS COUNTING

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 unit 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 number of items being weighed.
• The scale will then divide the total weight by the number of items and display
the average unit weight.
