Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor)
This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of
your basic formula for a specific paint color (e.g. 250 ml of a 1 l formula). Press the
K factor key to select the desired factor (quantity):
By pressing the R key: up
or S key: down
the value can
be modified – in 0.1 increments for factors of 1.0 to 6.0
or – in 0.01 increments for a factor of up to 1.0.
Note:
A flashing n arrow on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not
valid in legal metrology (i.e. not legal for trade).
Example:
As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.”
Let'ssuppose you want to weigh out 3 kg of a 1kg basic formula, and you don't
want to have to manually recalculate the individual components of the formula.
The basic formula for 1 kg is:
250 g 1st component
+ 250 g 2nd component
+ 500 g 3rd component
Total: 1000 g
1. Place the empty container on the load plate and tare the scale.
2. Press the F factor key repeatedly to set the factor to “3.0" for this example.
Operating Instructions PMA 35001-X 13
Applications
3. A “3.0" appears next to the weight readout.
4. Slowly pour in the first “250 g" of component until the display shows “250 g.”
5. Pour in the second “250 g" component until “500 g" is displayed.
6. Pour in the last “500 g" component until “1000 g" is displayed.
This concludes the recalculation example. According to the display, exactly
1000 g was poured in, but the paint in the container weighs 3 kg in accordance
with the factor you selected.
The procedure is the same for any other conversion factor.
Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode
Let's suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given
formula (in this example, a 4-component recipe).
This example further assumes that you previously poured in all of the other
amounts exactly according to each of the values you entered and saved by pressing
the L key [MEM]. Press the S key to start the recalculation program; “C" flashes
on the display. Press the S key to correct the value so that it matches the amount
specified in the formula. Press the L key [MEM]; the scale returns to component 1
and automatically calculates the amount to be added for each of the components
that were already poured. The display shows the amounts required to correct the
formula up to the point at which the overpour occurred.
After the correction has been completed, you can continue filling the remaining
components. The same factor is used.
Note:
You can correct overpours as often as needed.
Keep in mind that the total quantity of paint at the conclusion of filling increases
each time you correct a component. Press the c key to check how much the
correction factor for the total quantity will be. “C" stands for “Correction factor."
