Parts Counting - KERN ALS Series Operating Manual

11.1 Parts counting

Before the balance can count parts, it must know the average part weight (i.e.
reference). Proceed by putting on a certain number of the parts to be counted. The
balance determines the total weight and divides it by the number of parts, the so-
called reference quantity. Counting is then carried out on the basis of the calculated
average piece weight.
As a rule:
The higher the reference quantity the higher the counting exactness.
