5.0 FUNCTIONS
5.1 PERCENTAGE WEIGHING
The balance will allow a reference weight to be shown as 100%. Then any other
weight placed on the balance will be displayed as a percentage of the original
sample.
1) Place your weight on the balance.
2) Press the [%] key. The weight will be displayed as 100.00%.
3) Remove the weight and place your next sample on the balance. The new
reading will be shown as a percentage of the first value / reference used.
4) Pressing the [%] key again will return the balance to normal weighing.
Note: The balance may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small weights are
used to set the 100% level. For example, if only 23.5g is on a balance with 0.5g
increments and the balance is set to 100%, the display will show 100.00%. However,
a small change of weight will cause the display to jump to 102.13%, as one balance
division (0.5g) increase to 24.0g will be equivalent to a 2.13% increase.
5.2 PARTS COUNTING
Parts counting lets you count small parts that are of equal weight, quickly and easily.
To do this you must first set your sample by telling the balance how many parts you
have.
1) Place your container on the balance and press the [Tare] key as described in
4.2 Zeroing / Tare section. This will remove the weight of the container from
your count.
2) When the balance is in normal weighing mode with the initial quantity on the
balance, press the [Smpl] key to start the parts counting function.
3) The initial number of samples should match the options for parts counting,
10, 20, 50, 100 or 200 pieces.
4) The balance will initially show SP 10 asking for a sample size of 10 parts.
Press [Mode] to cycle through the options: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and back to 10
to select the sample you have placed on the balance.
