3.3 Using the Button Control Functions

3.3.1 Setting the Balance to Zero

Remove the load from the pan and press the Zero button to set the display to zero.
When the weighing pan or platform is empty, The Center of Zero indicator turns on when the
measurement is within + 1/4 d of the zero setting.

3.3.2 Taring

Taring refers to the action of allowing for the weight of a container so that only the weight of objects
held in the container (net weight) is displayed.
To Tare
Place the empty container on the pan and press the Tare button.
Add material to the container. The net weight of the material is displayed.
To clear the Tare value, remove the container from the pan and press the Tare button.
Auto Tare
Auto Tare automatically compensates for container weight so the balance displays net weight.
Auto Tare must be set ON in the Setup sub-menu (See Section 3.7.2 Setup Sub-menu).
The secondary display shows PLACE CONTAINER (blinking). When the container is placed on the
pan, it is automatically tared and Net weight is displayed. The Tare value is automatically cleared
when the container is removed from the pan.
Preset Tare
Use the xT command in the command table to enter a preset tare value through a computer.
To clear the Tare value, enter a value of 0.0. See Section 5.4.1.
