Page 13: Clearing The Piece Count
This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the scale’s platform and is accessed by pressing the SAMPLE key. To ensure accuracy, the parts you are counting must be consistent in weight. The scale uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of the items you wish to count. -

Page 26: Chapter 6: Calibration
CHAPTER 6: CALIBRATION CALIBRATION OVERVIEW Your TC-2005 scale ships from the factory fully calibrated. There is no need to calibrate the scale unless you feel that it has become inaccurate. It is a good idea to check the calibration of your scale from time to time with a precision test weight. Transcell recommends that you perform a new calibration on your digital scale at least once a year. -
