Quick Start Instructions –Helpful Hints for Best Results
For best results, match the capacity of the scale to the relative size of
parts to be counted, i.e. the lower the capacity of the scale, the higher
the resolution and sensitivity.
For small items, choose a larger sample size. Generally a higher level
of accuracy can be obtained during the critical sampling mode with a
heavier sample.
SAMPLE UPDATE ™ - This feature, software controlled, refines the
average piece weight used for counting by refiguring based on a new
whole quantity. When active, the word ‘UPDATE’ will flash
momentarily in the display. If the rounding point is in a zone of
uncertainty (as it would be if the part weights are inconsistent) the
feature will not work.
The piece weights of similar parts may vary due to material density
differences, machine oil, manufacturing differences, lead lengths,
moisture content in plastic items, different vendor sources, etc. Since
weigh counting depends on similar piece weights, count accuracy may
be affected. To improve results, we recommend using a larger sample
quantity or using the Sample Update ™ feature. To use Sample
Update, after the initial sample, hand add small quantities of parts and
observe the word ‘UPDATE’ flashing in the display momentarily. The
refined average piece weight will reflect a larger sample quantity
without the necessity of hand counting a larger sample.
OLOLOL –If the scale is overloaded greater than 105% of the rated
capacity, it will display OLOLOL (overload!). Remove items until a
value is displayed and count the total in two drafts. While very rugged,
the load cell weight sensor can be damaged if overloaded or abused.
Use reasonable care to prevent damage to the load cell.
It is OK if items are larger than the platform; keep the load centered as
much as possible.
To fill a container, bowl, carton, or other vessel press ‘ZERO’ to rezero
the display and fill… it is not necessary to resample of continuing to
count the same parts.
Environmental factors (vibration, air currents, motion) can cause the
display to appear unstable. Pay attention to extra environmental
influences.
