Negative Checkweighing
In “Negative” checkweighing, the part of an item subsequently removed from the pan is checked
against the target limits. This method may be preferred in portioning applications.
• Set both targets as negative values, where the lightest acceptable weight is entered as the Under
target limit and the heaviest acceptable weight is entered as the Over target limit.
• Place a quantity of items on the pan.
• Tare the items.
• Remove a portion of the items from the pan.
• The amount removed will be compared to the targets.
“Zero” Checkweighing
In ”Zero” checkweighing, displayed results will show the deviation of the sample’s weight from a
reference or ideal weight. This approach may be more preferred for grading or sorting applications.
• Set the targets using a negative value (negative tolerance) for the Under limit and a positive value
(positive tolerance) for the Over limit.
• Place the reference weight on the pan.
• Tare the reference weight and remove it from the pan.
• Place the item on the pan to be checked against the reference weight.
• The display will show a negative, positive or ‘0” value if the sample is less than, more than or equal
to the reference weight, respectively.
