5-4. Selecting a weighing unit
Press the MODE key to select a unit.
The following sections are a description of the
three common units: g (gram mode), pcs (counting
mode), and % (percent mode).
5-5. Basic operation
1. Select a weighing unit.
2. When the display doesn’t show zero, press the
RE-ZERO key to set the display to zero.
3. When using a tare (container), place the
container on the weighing pan, and press the
RE-ZERO key to set the display to zero.
4. Place the object to be weighed on the pan or in
the container.
Wait for the stability mark (
{ ) to be displayed
and read the value.
5. Remove the object from the pan.
‰ Note
The RE-ZERO key will zero the balance if
the weight is within ±2% of the weighing
capacity around the power-on zero point.
The ZERO mark turns on. When the
weight exceeds +2% of the weighing
capacity, it will be subtracted to zero as a
tare weight. In this case the ZERO and NET
marks turn on.
Precautions during operation
‰ Make sure that the stability mark is on whenever reading or storing a value.
‰ Do not press the keys with a sharp object such as a pencil.
‰ Do not apply a shock or a load to the pan that is beyond the weighing
capacity.
‰ Keep the balance free from foreign objects such as dust or liquid.
‰ Calibrate the balance periodically to keep weighing accuracy. (See ”7.
CALIBRATION”.)
