Operating Instructions

qPower ON Zeroing

Upon applying power the instrument will:

i)If the applied load is less than or equal to 2% of the calibration zero point the instrument will establish zero and clear any tare values.

ii)If the applied load is greater than 2% of the calibration zero point the instrument will display “- - - - - - -“. The load may be removed to allow for automatic zeroing (above) or a manual zero may be established by pressing the ‘Zero’ button. Note: If the instrument has been configured to not allow for zeroing greater than 2% removing the load will be necessary.

qZeroing

To zero the scale press the [Zero] button.

i)2 % Zeroing

(1)This mode will allow pushbutton zero up to 2% of full scale capacity. The available scale capacity will not be affected by the zeroed amount.

ii)100 % Zeroing

(1)This mode will allow pushbutton zero up to 100% of full sc ale capacity. The available scale capacity will be reduced by the zeroed amount.

qPushbutton Tare (If enabled)

Place the object to tare on the scale and press the [Tare] button. The weight will be established as tare and the weight mode will switch to net.

qTare by Numeric Key (Optional Series 9, if enabled)

Key in the tare value using the numeric keys then press [Tare]. In sealed applications this function is only permitted when the gross weight is at zero.

7

qProgramming Recall Tare Values (Optional Series 9, if enabled)

(1)The optional Series 9 can maintain up to 10 predefined Tare values.

(2)To program a tare value press [Shift] and then [8]. The display

will prompt [T 0-END] and then [t no. 1]

(3)Key in the desired tare register number (1-10) and press [Enter].

(4)The display will prompt [T XXX.XX]

(5)Enter the desired tare value.

(6)To Exit programming tare registers, enter ‘0’ at the tare register

prompt.

qRecalling a Tare Value (Optional Series 9, if enabled)

Enter the desired tare register (1-10) then press the [Select/Enter] key. In sealed applications this function is only available when the gross weight is at zero.

qPreset Output Settings (Optional Series 9, if enabled)

.	Press [SHIFT] then press [ 9 ],
	The display will prompt [S XXX.XX]. Key in the Start value for
	Set point 1 and press [Enter],
