5.3.3 Tare Addition or Subtraction
Two tares can be accumulated or subtracted using the TARE key as well. Tare weights cannot be accumulated or
subtracted by digital entry, although you can do tare exchange by digital entry (Section 5.3.2).
Notes:
• SPEC 620 TARE RANGE must be set to the appropriate tare range value. Default is “0: 100 PERCENT OF FULL SCALE”.
• SPEC 621 DIGITAL TARE SETTING must be a “1: ENABLE” to allow digital tare.
• SPEC 622 DIGITAL TARE ACCUMULATION must be set to “1: YES”.
• 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: ALLOW or
YES to enable these functions.
1. Place the container, box or item to be tared on the platform and press the TARE key. The weight display
should show 0 and the
Net annunicator will illuminate.
2. Place another tare weight on the platform and press the
TARE key again. This will add the two tare
weights together (Tare Addition).
3. Tare weights can be subtracted individually by removing one from the platform and pressing the
TARE
key again. To clear all the tare weights and return to the operation mode, remove all the tare weights and
press the
TARE key. The Net annunicator will no longer be lit.
5.3.4 Tare Exchange or Override
This function allows you to change the tare value during the operation mode. You can change the tare weight
without associating it with an item code, change the tare weight already associated with an item code while in
registration mode, or add a tare value to an existing item code if it doesn’t already have one. The new tare entered
will overwrite the previous tare.
1. Remove any bin or container from the scale.
2. To change the tare weight without recalling an Item Code, go to Step 3.
3. To change the tare weight associated with an item code, enter the item code for which you want to
change the tare value and press the
CODE key. If there is already a tare weight associated with this item
code in memory, it will be displayed in the Weight Display window.
4. If the tare weight value is known, use the numeric keypad to key in the value and then press
TARE. The
weight display will now show the new tare as a negative number and the Net annunciator will illuminate.
If the tare weight value is not known, put the container to be tared out on the platter and press the
TARE
key. The new tare will be entered, the weight display will show 0.000 lb and the Net annunicator will
illuminate.
5. You may now either place the product on the platter for weighing and counting or press the
CLEAR key to
return to the stand-by screen. To print a receipt or a label for the product, press the * REPRINT key while
the product is on the platter. To clear the tare weight just entered when you return to the stand-by screen,
press the
TARE key again.
5.4 Toggling Between Gross and Net
To toggle between net and gross weight, a tare value must be entered into the scale. Follow Section 5.3 to enter a
tare value.
Note: SPEC 643 GROSS MODE DISPLAY must be set to 0: YES (which is the default) to enable gross mode.
After a tare value is entered into the scale, items placed on the scale will cause the net annunciator to illuminate
and allow toggling between net weight and gross weight. An example of toggling between net weight and gross
weight is shown below:
1. Place 0.5 lb weight on the scale and then press
TARE once. The weight display should show 0.000 lb.
2. Place another 0.5 lb weight on the scale. The scale weight display should now show
0.500 and the net
annunciator should be illuminated.
3. Press
SHIFT DOWN + NET/G. The weight display should show 1.000 GROSS WEIGHT, the net annunciator
will no longer be illuminated. The unit weight and the quantity displays go blank.
