BASE

OPERATION
HOW TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT
TURN YOUR SCALE ON PRESSING THE ON KEY. YOU WILL SEE THAT A
COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE STARTS IN THE GENERAL VIEW FINDER. AT THE END OF
THIS COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE, THE VIEW FINDER WILL BE IN "ZEROS" . AT THIS
MOMENT THE SCALE IS READY TO WEIGHT.
THEN PLACE THE PRODUCT TO WEIGHT ON THE PLATE AND YOU WILL SEE THE
WEIGHT IN THE ALPHANUMERIC INDICATOR. THE "Kg", "Lb" OR “Oz” SYMBOL WILL
APPEAR IN THE INDICATOR. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU PLACE A PRODUCT WHOSE
WEIGHT IS 2.5 POUNDS, YOU WILL SEE THE FOLLOWING:
HOW TO USE THE “TARE”.
WHEN YOU WISH TO WEIGHT A PRODUCT IN A CONTAINER AND YOU DO NOT WANT
TO CONSIDER THE CONTAINER'S WEIGHT DURING THE OPERATION, YOU CAN USE
THE “TARE” FUNCTION. TO USE THIS FUNCTION, FOLLOW THESE STEPS: SUPPOSE
YOU ARE GOING TO WEIGHT 5 POUNDS OF SOME PRODUCT IN A CONTAINER THAT
WEIGHT 4.5 POUNDS.
PLACE THE EMPTY CONTAINER ON THE SCALE.
PRESS THE TARE KEY. THE VIEW FINDER WILL DISPLAY:
PUT THE PRODUCT INSIDE THE CONTAINER AND THE SCALE SHOWS ONLY THE
WEIGHT OF THE PRODUCT WITHOUT THE CONTAINER'S WEIGHT. NOTICE THAT
WHEN YOU REMOVE THE CONTAINER A NEGATIVE NUMBER (WEIGHT OF
CONTAINER) APPEARS IN THE GENERAL VIEW FINDER.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO MENTION THAT THIS FUNCTION IS SUBTRACTIVE. FOR
EXAMPLE, IF WE HAVE A CONTAINER THAT WEIGHT 4 POUNDS, THE SCALE WILL
ONLY BE ABLE TO WEIGHT UP TO 6 POUNDS OF PRODUCT TO COMPLETE THE
MAXIMUM CAPACITY ( 10 POUNDS, 5 KILOGRAMS OR 160 OZ. IN A PS-5 MODEL).
TO CANCEL THE TARE FUNCTION JUST PRESS THE TARE KEY AND THE SCALE WILL
RETURN TO THE NORMAL FUNCTION. THE NET SYMBOL WILL DISAPPEAR
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE SCALEIS FREE OF WEIGHT OVER THE PLATE
THE TWO FOLLOWING OBSERVATIONS ARE SPECIALLY IMPORTANT.
A) WHEN THERE IS NO WEIGHT ON THE SCALE YOU CAN NOT ACTIVATE THE
"TARE" FUNCTION.
B) WHEN A CONTAINER IS "TARED", BUT WHEN YOU REMOVE IT FROM THE PLATE
AND YOU REMOVE A LARGER WEIGHT THAN THE CONTAINER, (GREASE, REMAINING
OF A PRODUCT, ETC.), OR WHEN THE PLATE IS SLIGHTLY LIFTED WITH YOUR HAND.
"NEG" (NEGATIVE) WILL APPEAR.
HOW TO USE THE "REFERENCE TO ZERO"
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE SCALE TO SHOW A NUMBER IN THE VIEW FINDER
WITHOUT HAVING ANY PRODUCT ON THE PLATE DUE TO VOLTAGE VARIATIONS,
ROUGH HANDLING, OR SOME OTHER FACTOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SIMPLY PRESS
THE ZERO KEY AND THE VIEW FINDER WILL RETURN TO "ZERO". THE WORD "ZERO"
WILL APPEAR IN THE VIEW FINDER. THIS OPERATION IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS
"RESETTING TO ZERO".
