ZERO

Press and hold for at least 3 seconds to establish the zero reference

and the point where zero tracking is operational, if the auto zero tracking feature

has been enabled. The meter can be programmed to zero over the entire range

of calibration or ±2% of the range. Motion light must be extinguished for this

operation to take effect.

TARE

Press to subtract the weight of empty containers from the gross weight.

The weight subtracted is stored as a tare value and the display switches to net

weighing mode.

GROSS

NET

If a tare weight has been subtracted, the value displayed can be toggled

between gross weight and net weight by pressing this key. When tare is cleared

to zero the display automatically switches to gross weighing mode.

UNITS

Press this key to select weighing in units of pounds avoirdupois (lb)

or kilograms (kg.) The weight meter automatically adjusts the increment size to

be consistent with the number of divisions in which the meter was calibrated.

PRINT

Press this key to send displayed weight and units to the serial port.

A variety of print formats can be selected when setting up the meter. Upon

successful output, first a series of dashes moving from right to left will show on

the display then the data will be sent out the serial port.
