Counting The Number Of Pieces - KERN FCD 10K-3 User Manual

8.7 Counting the number of pieces

Before it is possible to count pieces using the scale, you should determine the
average weight of an individual piece (unit weight), the so-called reference value. To
do it, place the specific number of pieces which the counting the number of pieces
will be carried out for. The scale will determine the total weight which will be divided
by the number of pieces, the so-called reference piece number. Next, based on the
calculated mean weight of an individual piece, the number of pieces will be counted.
• The higher number of the reference pieces, the higher the accuracy of
counting the number of pieces.
• For small or highly diverse pieces, the reference value must be sufficiently
high.
• For the minimum weight of the counted pieces, see the "Technical
specification" table.

200, 500) corresponding to the placed reference load and confirm by pressing
.
