Basic Operation; Turning On The Balance; Zeroing / Tare - Adam Equipment CORE SERIES Manual

4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1 TURNING ON
Plug in the unit using the AC adapter or power from the batteries.
1) Press the On/Off button and the balance will automatically show Cqt-1.0 Cqt
then count from 0 to 9 for a few seconds and show the voltage X.X Vol where
x.x is the voltage of the battery or the AC adapter. Finally it will display "0.00"
along with the last selected weighing unit, Stable symbol, and Zero symbol.
2) The balance is ready to be used.
3) To turn the balance off after use press the [on/off] key again. There is an auto
power‐off function that will automatically turn the unit off, this can be set in
the parameters section.
4.2 ZEROING / TARE
You can press the [Tare] key to set a new zero point. Zero will be set if the reading
on the balance is less than 3% of the balances capacity. This may be necessary if the
weight is not reading zero with nothing on the pan. The zero indicator will show up
in the top left corner of the LCD.
If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and
press the [Tare] key, providing the container weight is more than 3% of the
maximum capacity of the balance, the display will show zero and NET will light up on
the display. You can then weigh your object in the container. Tared weight is
subtracted from the total balance's capacity.
Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown.
If the balance was tared just before removing the container, this value
is the gross weight of the container plus all items inside the container
which were removed.
