KEYPAD FUNCTIONS, CONT.

Standard Function Keys, Cont.

TARE KEY

This key is a dual function key. Pressing the TARE key alone (Pushbutton Tare mode) will
cause the current gross weight to be stored as the new tare weight and cause the weight
display to change to the net weight display mode (

NET will be shown on right side of

display). Pressing this key after entering a numeric value (Keypad Tare) will cause the
value entered to be accepted as the new tare weight.

NOTE: Tare weights equal to or greater than scale capacity cannot be entered. In
addition, the keypad tare weight division value must be the same as the scale division
value. For example, a unit with .005 lb as the division value will display

ERROR if you

attempt to enter 1.003 for the tare weight.

NET/GROSS KEY

This key is used to toggle between the Net and Gross weight mode. The selected mode is
indicated by showing

G for Gross weight or NET for Net weight on the display. Note that

the display will show an error (

-NO TARE-) and the indicator will remain in the Gross

weight mode if the key is pressed and valid tare weight has not been entered.

UNITS KEY

Pressing this key will change the weighing units to the alternate units if selected during the
calibration and setup of the indicator. The available units of measure (

BASE UNITS=

and

CNVT UNITS=) are enabled or disabled in calibration and setup. The available units

include tons, pounds only, ounces, tonnes (metric tons), kilograms, grams and custom.
Note that not all combinations are supported.

weight accumulators, the 200 ID storage accumulators, the Batcher bin accumulators and
the Count Function piece count accumulators. Note that the Total Gross, Total Net and
