4.2. OPERATING PROCEDURES
• The Zero, Tare and the AZT functions require the displayed weight to be stable
before these functions will operate.
• The weight reading is stable if the variation in weight is less than the programmed
MOTION BAND
.
4.3. GROSS, TARE AND NET Weight
There are three terms used when weighing an object’s or
load’s amount.
The
NET WEIGHT
(product only) is the
GROSS
WEIGHT
(total amount) minus the
TARE WEIGHT
(container only).
NET WEIGHT
= Gross Weight – Tare Weight
WORKING EXAMPLE
A full can of house paint is an object to be weighed. The empty can is the
TARE
weight. The paint is the
NET
weight. Together they equal the
GROSS
weight.
