1. To clear a tare, press the CLR key at any time. The NET and TARE annunciators
disappear and the gross weight is displayed.
NOTE: Enabling the Auto Tare Clear feature in the User Menu (Chapter 5) can eliminate
this step.
3.3.6 PIECE COUNTING
12

This mode is used to indicate the number of pieces of an item you have placed on the scale’s
platform and is accessed by pressing the SAMPLE key. To ensure accuracy, the parts you are
counting must be consistent in weight.
The scale uses the sampling method to determine the average piece weight (APW) of the items
you wish to count. When sampling items, always count the parts in your hand and place them on
the platform all at once. If the APW of the items is too light or the total weight of the sample is too
light, accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
1. Ensure that the proper Local/Remote annunciator is lit, depending on which scale you wish to
use to perform the sampling. If it is not, press the Local/Remote key once.
2. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by
pressing the TARE key.
3. Press the SAMPLE key. The scale will display “10 0”. The scale is prompting you to place ten
identical items on the platform.
NOTE: If you wish to change the sample number, simply press the SAMPLE key repeatedly
until the desired sample number appears. Available choices are 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100.
4. Place the sample items on the platform all at once. Once the scale stabilizes, the scale will
display “10 –“.
5. Press the SAMPLE key to take the sample. The scale will now display the number of pieces on
the scale. To see how accurate your piece counting will be based upon the sample, press the
UNIT key until the screen shows the % annunciator. If you are not happy with the results, you
should use a higher sample amount to achieve better piece count accuracy.
NOTE 1: If the scale displays an “Add” message, the unit weight of the items you wish to count
or total sample weight is too light for your scale to process at all.
NOTE 2: You can eliminate the need to press the SAMPLE key in Step 4 by enabling the Auto
Sample feature in the User Menu (Chapter 5).
NOTE 3: You can have the scale automatically switch from local to remote after sampling by
enabling the Auto Switch Channel feature in the User Menu (Chapter 5).
3.3.7 CLEARING THE PIECE COUNT
1. To clear the piece count, press the CLR key to erase the sample.
