5. OPERATION
5.1. MANUAL ZERO SETTING
Press at any time in order to make a manual zero setting.. When zero is obtained, the display will show
the zero indicator.
The scales are provided with a manual zero setting function in order solve minor problems in weight
deviation or accumulation of materials on the platform. If the weight exceeds total capacity by 4%, this
function is disabled.
5.2. SETTING THE TARE
Set the scales to zero using if necessary. The zero indicator will appear.
Place the packaging on the platform and a weight value will appear.
Press to set the tare of the scales. The weight that appeared on the display is saved as the tare value
and that value is deducted from the display, which returns to zero. The “NET” indicator will be activated.
When a product is added, only the product weight will be shown. The scales may be tared for a second time
if another type of product is added to the first. Again, only the additional weight will be shown after the tare
has been set.
When the packaging is removed, a negative value will be shown. If the scales are tared before the packaging
is removed, this value will be the gross weight of the packaging plus all the product that was removed. the
zero indicator will also light up because the platform returns to the same situation as when was pressed.
5.3. SAMPLE WEIGHT
In order to determine the weight of a sample, first tare the packaging and then place the sample in the same
packaging. The display will show the weight and the unit of weight in current use.
5.4. PERCENTAGE WEIGHT
The scales permit a percentage weight to be shown as 100%. Any other type of weight that is placed on the
balance will be shown on the display as a percentage of the original sample. For example, if 350 g is placed
on the scales, and the is pressed, the display will show 100.00%.
If the 350 g weight is removed from the scales and a weight of 300g is then placed on the scales, the display
will show 85.71% because 300g is 85.71% of 350g.
Note: the scales may fluctuate unexpectedly to a major degree if very small weights are used to set the
percentage weight at 100%. For example, if just 23.5 g are placed on the scales, with increasing steps of
0.5g, and the scales are set to 100%, the display will show 100.00. However, a small weight will make the
display jump to 102.12% because a 0.5g increase would imply that the weight has risen to 24.0g, i.e.,
equivalent to a 2.13% increase.
Press again to return the scales to weighing mode.
