Page 12: Basic Operation
TP Series Balance Basic Operation Operation Check Once the AC adapter is connected to the balance, displays. Press . The display section lights up and the balance is ready for operation. 2. Check the indicator display for missing or unlit icons. A few seconds after startup, display enters measurement mode. -
Page 13: Operation Key Points
• The active measurement mode on startup is the mode that was active when the balance was last switched off. For example, if the balance was switched off while in counting mode, the balance starts in counting mode the next time it is switched on. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -
Page 14: Tare Procedure
TP Series Balance Tare Procedure 1. Place a container on the balance. The balance indicates the weight of the item. Figure 3-6. Taring a Container 2. Press to tare the weight of the item. The weight (tare) is subtracted and the balance indicates zero. -
Page 15: Battery Operation
Do not reverse the balance connection or short-circuit the positive and negative polarities of the balance. Use only the supplied AC adapter. Do not incinerate used batteries. Dispose as hazardous material only. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -

Page 20: Counting Pieces
TP Series Balance Counting Pieces To implement piece counting, the specified samples are loaded on the balance and their average unit weight (here after, referred as unit weight) is entered and saved. The procedure for saving unit weights is called sampling. -
Page 21: Sampling Procedure Key Points
6. Repeat Steps 3 and 4. The total number of samples to be saved should be approximately 1/5 to 1/2 of the number of samples to be measured. 7. Press . The balance saves the unit weight and returns to measurement mode. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -
Page 22: Measuring Percentages
TP Series Balance Measuring Percentages The percentage measurement function operates by weighing a reference sample and saving its weight as a reference value indexed as 100%. When a measurement sample loaded on the balance is lighter or heavier than the reference, its weight is indicated as a percentage (%) value relative to the reference weight. -

Check the values, since mistakes can occur with entries, as in cases when the upper-limit value is specified with a negative sign. • When M is flashing on the value input screen, the sign on the left end can be changed. Press to switch between the positive and negative signs. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -
Page 28: Calibration
TP Series Balance Calibration Since electronic balances are affected by gravitational acceleration, they produce different values in various locations. Therefore, before use, balances must be calibrated at the location where they are installed. Calibration is also required after long periods without use, or if a balance begins to produce inaccurate values. -
Page 29: Calibration Key Points
If error messages are displayed, calibration cannot take place. Check the weight and re-calibrate. If the same error Note continues after repeated calibrations using the correct weight, please contact Rice Lake Weighing Systems. © Rice Lake Weighing Systems ● All Rights Reserved... -
