the socket making sure all pins
enter the socket.

against a table top or other flat
surface. Repeat this for the pins
on the other side.

the three screws that were re-
moved.

ance, turn it on and allow it to
warm up for at least ten min-
utes.

the procedure outlined in the
instruction manual.

With the EPROM installed, the
weighing units and modes shown in
the adjacent table will be avaliable.
The units shown in boldface type
(tex
tex tex tex tex, denier denier denier denier denier and yarn count yarn count yarn count yarn count yarn count) are
added with the new EPROM.
TEX: TEX: TEX: TEX: TEX: On TP balances, Tex is based
on a 100 meter sample. Since Tex is
defined as the weight (in grams) of a
1,000 meter sample, the balance
displays the weight of a 100 meter
sample times 10.
DENIER: DENIER: DENIER: DENIER: DENIER: On TP balances, Denier is
based on a 90 meter sample. Since
Denier is defined as the weight (in
grams) of a 9,000 meter sample, the
balance displays the weight of a 90
meter sample times 100.
5. Locate the EPROM (U14) on
the printed circuit board.
6. Remove the EPROM from its
socket. If necessary, insert the
flat bladed screwdriver under
the edge of the EPROM and
carefully pry it out of the socket.
