Pressing the PRESET TARE key will bring up a screen that allows the user to enter a
tare value. Enter the tare value using the numeric keypad and then press ENTER. To
clear the tare press the TARE and CLEAR keys simultaneously.

UNITS/PIECES
Toggles the weighing system between pound (English), and kilogram (SI metric), and
‘pieces’ (quantity of items) units of measure. When you press this switch, the system
switches to the nearest comparable value in the selected system. The current unit of
measure is shown by indicator segments on the left side of the main display.
Note: An error message “ E-2
E-2 E-2 E-2 “ will be displayed if the UNIT/PIECES key is pressed
when there is a total saved. You must clear the current total before toggling
NET/GROSS.
SAMPLE
Sample is used to so you can view the weight in pieces. Place a number of items on the
scale. A good rule of thumb is to place 3%-5% of the total number of pieces you intend
to weigh. With a known quantity of items on the scale press the SAMPLE key. Enter
the number of items on the scale. The sample measurement is saved in the scale’s
memory. The scale will switch to the unit ‘pieces’ and display the number of pieces on
the scale. To clear the sample measurement saved in memory, press the SAMPLE and
CLEAR keys simultaneously.
APW
APW is the abbreviation of Average Piece Weight. Press the APW key. Enter the
average weight of one piece. The scale switches to ‘pieces’ unit and displays the
number of pieces on the scale. To clear the APW press the APW and CLEAR keys
simultaneously.
If you need to enter piece weights less than 1 lb or 1 kg, see the APW decimal position
section in ‘Calibration’. This can setup your PW800 to record APW’s by tenths (1
decimal place) or by hundredths (2 decimal places).
