ANNUNCIATORS
The annunciators are turned on to indicate that the scale is in the mode corresponding to the
annunciator label or that the status indicated by the label is active. The following describes
the functions of each annunciator.
Æ0Å (Center-of-Zero)
The Center-of-Zero annunciator is located to the left of the WEIGHT display and is selected
to indicate that the weight is within +/- 1/4 division of the center of zero.
NET
The NET annunciator is selected to show that the weight displayed is the net weight. Net
weight is determined by subtracting the stored tare weight from the gross or scale weight.
The tare weight, usually the weight of the container, is entered using the tare key. Note that
the NET annunciator is only active when a zero tare weight or tare weight value is stored
and the display is in the weight mode as shown by the illumination of the lb or kg
annunciator.
ADD
The ADD annunciator is located between the WEIGHT and PIECE WEIGHT display and is
selected to show that the sample is too small to calculate an accurate piece weight.
Increase the sample size to turn off the ADD annunciator.
INSUF SAMPLE
The INSUF SAMPLE annunciator is located between the WEIGHT and PIECE WEIGHT
display and is selected to show that the sample is too small to calculate an accurate piece
weight. If the counting function is continued without
increasing the sample size, the scale
will still operate even though accuracy will be affected.
M+
The M+ annunciator is selected to show that the display is in the Accumulator mode and that
the value displayed is the current contents of the accumulator. Individual counts are
adjusted via the ( M+ ) and ( MC ) keys or optionally, any count may be entered using the
numeric keypad. Note that when both the M+ and ADD annunciators are selected, the
current count has been added to the accumulator.
[\ (Stable)
The (Stable) annunciator is located to the left of the COUNT display and is selected when
the WEIGHT display is stable.
PIECES
The PIECES annunciator is located on the right of the COUNT display and is selected when
the unit weight of the object on the platter is less than “Minimum Unit Weight”. The scale
can still count the quantity even though the unit weight is too small; however, this may affect
the counting accuracy.
