Scale Operations 37
5.1 Weight Unit Switching
Notes:
• SPEC 600 SCALE UNIT SPECIFICATION sets the default weight unit to Grams, Kgs or Lbs.
• SPEC 642 WEIGHT/UNIT CONVERT must be set to “0: YES” in order for you to be able to switch weight units during weighing
operations.
The weight units displayed can be changed between Kg and Lb during weighing operations by pressing the SHIFT
DOWN
key followed by the N key.
5.2 Toggle Between Scales
To toggle between Scales A through D, press the SCALE key. The indicator lamp for the appropriate scale lights
on the display.
Pressing the
SCALE key rotates the scales available for selection as follows:
Only scales present will be selected (i.e. A two-scale system switches between Scale A and Scale B only.) If no
external scales are connected, this function will not work.
5.3 Setting Tare Weights in Operation Mode
This section will describe the different tare-related operations you can perform from the operation mode. Tare
weight can be set by one touch tare using the TARE key or, if the value is known ahead of time, can be entered
digitally using the digital tare function. Tare addition and subtraction can also be done digitally or by using the
TARE key. Finally, an existing tare stored with an Item code can be overridden with a new one if needed.
Note: The following SPEC codes must be set properly to allow these operations before continuing: SPEC 620 TARE RANGE
SETTINGS sets the limit of the tare range. SPEC 621 DIGITAL TARE and SPEC 622 DIGITAL TARE ACCUMULATION must be
set to “1” to enable these functions. SPEC 623 DIGITAL TARE WHEN LOADED, SPEC 624 TARE SUBTRACTION FOR LOAD
TARE ONLY, SPEC 625 TARE ADDITION FOR LOAD TARE ONLY, and SPEC 626 TARE VALUE EXCHANGE (FOR LOAD TARE)
must all be set to “0” to enable these functions.
5.3.1 One Touch Tare (When the Tare Weight is Unknown)
1. While at the stand-by screen, place a bin, box or other weight to be tared out on the platform.
2. Press the
TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The Net annuciator will light up and the weight display
should now show
0.
3. If you remove the tare weight from the platform, the tare weight will show as a negative weight in the
weight window and the
Net annunciator will remain lit.
Note: This tare weight will be overridden by the weight stored with an item code if you call up an item code at this point.
4. To clear this tare weight and return to the operation mode, press the TARE key again. The net annunciator
will not longer be lit.
5.3.2 Digital Tare (When Tare Weight is Known in Advance)
1. While at the stand-by screen, enter the known tare weight by using the numeric keypad.
2. Press the
TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The Net annunciator will light up and the tare weight will
be displayed in the weight display.
Note: This tare weight will be overridden by the weight stored with an item code if you call up an item code at this point.
3. To clear this tare weight and return to the operation mode, press the TARE key again. The net annunciator
will no longer be lit.
Note: For digital tare entry, the decimal must be in the appropriate place as it would be displayed in the weight display. For
example,.250 would be entered as 0.250, not.250. The weight display shows weight entered with a negative sign indicating that
it is a tare weight.
