    We can no longer guarantee safe operation: • when the power cord or plug shows visible signs of damage; • after prolonged storage in wet environments; Should this occur, contact your service provider for your safety. Caution: Never use power cords other than those supplied by the manufacturer! 3.

    Count Display (COUNT) This display shows the number of items on the scale or the value of the accumulated count. See the “Operation” section. The arrow indicators above the individual symbols indicate the following: Symbol Meaning Check weighing is active during counting. Check weighing is active during weighing.

    8. Operation General Both the local and remote scales have the same basic weighing functions. Because of its tech- nical specifications, however, the resolution of the remote scale may differ from that of the local scale. Each scale (local or remote) has the ability to count pieces based on the current unit weight. Given its higher sensitivity compared to the remote scale, we recommend using the local scale for counting samples and the remote scale for counting larger quantities.
  • Page 11: Determining / Entering The Unit Weight

    Method 1: − Zero the scale by pressing the key if necessary. The arrow indicator above the symbol will be on. Place a container on the weighing platform. The display will show its weight. − Press the key to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as the tare value, and that value is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the display.
  • Page 12 Determining the Unit Weight The basic functions for piece counting are the same for the local and remote scales. In order to perform piece counting, it is necessary to know the average weight of the items to be counted. This can be done either by weighing a known number of the items and letting the scale determine the average unit weight or by manually inputting a known unit weight using the keypad.
  • Page 13: Piece Counting

    Piece Counting After the unit weight has been determined or entered, the scale can be used for piece counting. The scale can be tared to account for the net weight, as explained in the previous section. − With the scale tared, place the pieces to be counted on the weighing platform. The “Count” display will show the number of pieces computed using the total weight and the unit weight.

    Acoustic Alarm Function The check weighing function is supported by an acoustic alarm. From the parameter settings menu (chapter 9), the following alarm options can be selected under “F1 oFF” in the “bEEP” subparameter. The scale is preset to “bEEP oFF” by default. “bEEP oFF”...
