5.0 Scale Operation
This section covers the scale operations of weighing and counting.
Note: Always make sure that the balance is on a clean, dry, level and solid
surface.
Simple Weighing
1. Turn the balance on. The balance will go through a series of tests and
then display all zeroes (0’s).
2. Press the Units key until the desired unit of measure is displayed on the
far right of the display.
3. Press the Tare key if the display no longer reads zero.
4. Place item(s) to be weighed on the weighing platform. The weight will
be displayed with the appropriate unit of measure next to it.
5. Remove the item(s) from the balance and repeat steps 2 - 5 to continue
weighing.
Tare Weighing
If you want to do net weighing, such as weighing objects in a container, follow
these steps.
1. Turn the balance on. The balance will go through a series of tests and
then display all zeroes (0’s).
2. Press the Units key until the desired unit of measure is displayed on the
far right of the display.
3. Place the container to be tared on the weighing platform and press the
Tare key. The display should return to zero.
4. Place item(s) to be weighed in the container. The weight will be
displayed with the appropriate unit of measure next to it. The weight
displayed is the net weight and does not include the weight of the
container.
5. Remove the item(s) from the container and repeat steps 3 - 5 to
continue weighing with the same container.
Note: If you remove the container, the balance will show a negative weight.
Press the Tare key to return the balance to zero.
