ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS
Use the Units Menu to activate Parts Counting or Percent Weighing. (See back page.)
To enable Display Hold, Totalize and Specific Gravity, use the Setup/Mode submenu.
Parts Counting has two modes: (See Instruction Manual for more details.)
Normal: balance determines quantity based on average weight of parts in original
reference quantity.
Enhanced: additional parts can be added to the platform ( ≤the original number).
The additional reference quantity produces a more accurate average part weight.
Percent Weighing: place a reference weight on the balance, then view other loads as a
percentage of the reference. The reference weight equals100%.
Display-Hold mode captures and stores the highest stable value. When displayed, the stability
indicator blinks. Note: Units cannot be changed when in Display-Hold mode.
Totalize allows storage of a series of weight measurements. Totalize mode has been initiated
when “t” and the current unit are displayed together. When totalized weight is shown, the “t”
indicator blinks. Note: Units cannot be changed when in Totalize mode.
The Specific Gravity mode allows calculating the specific gravity of a sample.
(SPEC.GR mode must be turned ON before removing platform and installing hook.)
