corrects for slight zero changes during normal operation. If small weights are
added slowly, the scale could zero them off.
Lb/Kg
Toggles the weighing system between pound (English) and kilogram (SI metric)
units of measure. The current unit of measure is shown by the top indicator on
the left side of the display. If the scale is displaying pounds the indicator is on, if
the scale is displaying kilograms the indicator is off. Note: Switching units clears
the saved total and the peak value.
TARE Set/Display
Pressing the TARE key will set the tare equal to the current gross weight and
switch the display to net weight. This is shown by the middle indicator on the left
being turned off. The net weight is equal to the gross weight minus the tare
weight. The tare weight will only be set if the current gross weight is positive.
NOTE: The “tare” command will be delayed any time a change in weight is
detected. If there is continuous motion for more than 20 or 30 seconds, the tare
command will be rejected and the scale will return to normal weighing.
Push-button versus keyboard:
If the CS1500 is configured to have keyboard tare, pressing the tare key
will bring up a screen that allows the user to enter a tare value. See the
calibration section for how to configure the CS1500 for keyboard tare and
how to enter a number. If the keyboard tare is being used the tare value is
cleared when switching from pounds to kilograms or kilograms to pounds.
