TARE
Tare is typically used to zero out a known weight such as a packing container or pallet and display the load in
NET weight. A Tare value is entered in one of three ways:
1) AUTO TARE – When the TARE key is pushed twice, the current weight is zeroed and Net Weight is dis-
played. This is the only Tare function available from the MSI-9300 keypad.
2) KEYBOARD TARE – Available from a 3750CS or 9750A Indicator only. Using the numeric keys, the
operator keys in the desired Tare Weight then pushes the ENTER Key. See the 3750CS or 9750A User
Guides.
3) TARE UP/DOWN – Available from a 3750CS Indicator only. Using the Scroll Keys, the Tare value is
changed one scale division at a time. TARE UP/DOWN is useful for increasing or decreasing the cur-
rent Tare value slightly. The Keyboard Tare and Tare Up/Down modes can be disabled through the use
of SETUP TARE. In the “AUTO” mode a single push of the TARE key will enact AUTO TARE. See the
3750CS User Guide.
