Counting
The DS-220 can count items of equal weight. In order to count accurately, the scale must be
“trained” to recognize the weight of the items being counted. To train the DS-220 for counting,
perform the following steps:
1. Set up the DS-220 in counting mode as described in the Quick Start Setup section.
2. Remove all objects from the weighing platform.
3. If a bin is going to be used to hold the items being counted, place the empty bin on the center
of the platform.
4. Press . The display will flash n=###, where ### is a number from 1 to 999.
7. Press and/or hold the or to set the number of items being used to train the scale.
The number of items can be set faster by pressing .
5. Count out the number of items as set on the display and place onto the center of the platform
or in the bin.
6. Wait about 5 seconds for the platform to stabilize, then press . The display will now show
the number of items on the platform.
The DS-220 is now trained to recognize the weight of a single object as one count. This setting
will be remembered until it is trained again. Note that can be used at any time while counting
to “zero-out” any existing weight applied to the platform.
NOTE: A single item can weigh as little as 2 grams. Training for items weighing less than 2
grams will result in “Error” being shown on the Main Numeric Display. To clear the error, retrain
the scale with objects weighing more than 2 grams. The total weight of the items being counted
at any time may not exceed the total capacity of the scale (100 kg). For best counting accuracy of
small items, train with the greatest number of items possible.
