Automatic Taring
The first weight on the scale that
exceeds the preset minimum load is
stored in the tare memory at stability.
The values for subsequent loads are
stored as weight values. The scale
returns to the initial state when the
load is less than 50% of the minimum
load.
Configure in Setup under:
Application: Weigh:
Autotare 1st weight
Minimum Load
To tare container weights automatically,
you need to set a minimum load in the
Setup menu, under:
Application: Weigh:
MinL. autotar
The minimum load is defined in display
digits. There are ten levels to choose
from:
1 digit (no minimum load)
2 digits
5 digits
10 digits
20 digits
50 digits
100 digits
200 digits
500 digits
1000 digits
If the scale interval is 1 g, for example,
and the minimum load is set to 1000
digits (=1000 scale intervals), a load
of at least 1000 g is required for
autotaring.
Automatic Printing
The first weight value that exceeds the
minimum load is printed. Configure in
