Example Calibrate the balance/scale Menu code settings: Factory-set codes Step Display (or instruction) 1. Turn on the balance/scale 2. To access the calibration switch: open the cover plate located below the balance/scale; flip the switch 3. Tare the balance/scale + 1000.0 4.
Application Programs All application programs can also be used in legal metrology. Calculated weight values are indicated by one of the following symbols displayed to the right of the numerical value: – Percentage – Piece count = pcs – Other calculated value = o The application programs for calibrated balances/scales not intended for use in legal metrology are labeled with a triangle # in the right side of the display (e.g.
Net-Total Formulation/Second Tare Memory With this application program you can weigh in components for formulation of a mixture. Preparation Configure the Net-total formulation/Second tare memory application in the operating menu: See “Configuring the Balance/Scale” Menu code 2.1. 3 Example Step Display (or instruction) 1.
Counting Purpose The Counting program allows you to automatically count the number of parts that have approximately the same weight. Available Features – Store the current weight value to have it loaded as the preset reference sample quantity next time you initialize the Counting application –...

Example Determine an unknown piece count; weigh the preset reference sample quantity Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Counting (2. 1. 4), Reference sample quantity: 20 pcs (3. 3. 3) Step Display (or instruction) 1.
Weighing in Percent Purpose This application program allows you to obtain weight readouts in percent which are in proportion to a reference weight. Available Features – Store the current weight value to have it loaded as the preset reference percentage next time you initialize the Weighing in Percent application –...

Example Determine an unknown percentage; store the weight on the balance/scale as a reference percentage Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Weighing in percent ( 2. 1. 5) Menu: Reference percentage 100 % (3. 3. 5) Step Display (or instruction)
Averaging Purpose Use this program to determine weights under extreme- ly unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance/scale calculates the weight as the average value from a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.” Available Features –...
Page 19
Example Determine the weight of a sample in extremely unstable ambient conditions by calculating the average of 10 subweighing operations. Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Averaging (menu code 2. 1.12) Step Display (or instruction) 1.
Configuring the Balance/Scale Setting the Parameters (Menu Codes) You can configure your balance scale to meet individual requirements by selecting from the parameters available in the menu. Example: Adapt the balance/scale to extremely unstable ambient conditions: Menu code 1, 1. 4 Step Display (or instruction)
