4. Read the weight shown on the display.
7.3.2 TARING AN ITEM
To weigh an item in a container, the weight of that container must first be subtracted from
the overall weight to obtain an accurate weight reading. This is known as taring.

the display.
2. If necessary, press the ZERO key to obtain a weight reading of zero.
3. Place the empty container on the scale's platter and allow the weight indication to

7.3.3 PIECE COUNTING
This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the
scale's platform and is accessed by pressing the UNITS key. To ensure accuracy, the parts
you are counting must be consistent in weight.
The indicator uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of
the items you wish to count. When sampling items, always count the parts in your hand and
place them on the platform all at once. If the APW of the items is too light or the total weight
of the sample is too light, accuracy cannot be guaranteed. You will get an error message,
but piece counting will still be allowed.
1.
Press the UNITS key until "PCS" is indicated on the display. If a previous sample has
not been taken, the indicator will display "10 0". If a previous sample has been taken,
the indicator will display the current number of pieces on the platform.
2.
If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container
off by pressing the TARE key.
