8 TP Series Balance
The balance is shipped from the factory with the following switching sequence:
4. Press the measurement pan lightly and ensure that the read-out indicator changes.
5. As you release your hand, ensure that the read-out indicator resets to zero.
2.2.1 Operation for Tare Subtraction
1. Place the tare (container) on the balance. The balance indicates the weight of the tare.
2. Press to reset the read-out indication to zero. The tare is subtracted and the balance indicates zero.
3. Load the sample to be weighed. The balance will now indicate only the weight of the sample loaded in the tare.
*Weighing only the weight of an added sample:
4. Press to reset the indication to zero. The total weight of the sample loaded on the measurement pan is
indicated as zero.
5. Load the samples to be measured, the balance indicates only the weight of an added sample.
When the weight of a sample currently loaded on the measurement pan is reset to zero with the Zero/Tare
key, as mentioned above, only the weight of the newly added sample will be measured.
Key Points of the Procedure
The following applies to all measurement modes for weight measurement, counting, and percentages.
1. After the balance is switched off, there is still enough current to display [*]. This indicates that the AC adapter is
connected to an electrical outlet, but that the balance is turned off. When the balance is switched on again, [*] will
disappear.
If the balance is running on batteries and the unit is switched off, the display will not display [*].
2. The bar graph shows the current load status with respect to the capacity of the balance. As the [F] mark draws near,
the smaller the measurable weight becomes.
Even when the display currently indicates zero with the tare subtracted, the weight corresponding to the
subtracted tare is indicated on the bar.
3. When the balance remains stable, the stability indicator [○] remains on. If the balance becomes unstable, the stability
indicator [○] will disappear. When a displayed value flickers or the stability mark flashes on and off, it is likely that
the balance is being affected by wind or other vibrations. Use the windshield or vibration dampers to protect against
such adverse effects.
4. When the read-out indicator is reset to zero or the tare is subtracted, the balance indicates zero with the following
symbol [ ]. If the tare is subtracted, the indicator reads as follows [ ].
5. When the tare is subtracted, the measurable range is reduced. The measurable Range is the capacity minus the tare
weight.
6. If [0-Err] appears when a sample is loaded, the measurable range has been exceeded.
7. In counting or percentage mode, the indicator will not change if no sample is stored in the memory, even when the
measurement pan is pressed.
8. The active measurement mode on startup will be the mode that was active when last switched off. For example, if the
balance was switched off while in counting mode, the balance will be in counting mode the next time the balance is
switched on.
2.3 Counting
To implement piece counting, the specified samples are loaded on the balance, and their average unit weight (hereinafter,
simply the “unit weight”) is entered and saved. The procedure for saving unit weights is called sampling.
The counting procedure consists of loading articles that have already been sampled onto the balance. The number of pieces is
then calculated by dividing the total weight of the loaded articles by the unit weight saved in memory. Piece counting cannot
be implemented unless sampling has already taken place.
