6.0 OPERATION
NOTE: GC-a Scales only
SETTING THE WEIGHING UNIT, lb or kg
The scale will turn on displaying the last weighing unit selected, either kilograms or
pounds. To change the weighing unit press the [U. Wt./Units] key when the “Unit
Weight” display shows zero. If necessary press the [CE] key to clear the unit weight
before changing.
6.1 ZEROING THE DISPLAY
• You can press the [Zero] key at any time to set the zero point from which
all other weighing and counting is measured. This will usually be necessary
only when the platform is empty. When the zero point is obtained the
“Weight” display will show the indicator for zero, “>Z<”.
• The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for minor
drifting or accumulation of material on the platform. However you may
need to press [Zero] to re-zero the scale if small amounts of weight are
still shown when the platform is empty.
6.2 TARING
• Zero the scale by pressing the [Zero] key if necessary. The indicator
“>Z<” will be ON.
• Place a container on the platform and its weight will be displayed.
• Press [Tare] to tare the scale. The weight that was displayed is stored as
the tare value which is subtracted from the display, leaving zero on the
display. The indicators “Net” and “>Z<” will be ON.
• As a product is added only the weight of the product will be shown. The
scale could be tared a second time if another type of product was to be
added to the first one. Again only the weight that is added after taring
will be displayed.
• When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the
scale was tared just before removing the container, this value is the
gross weight of the container plus all products those were removed.
The indicator “>Z<” will also be ON because the platform is back to the
same condition as it was when the [Zero] key was pressed last.
