16.1 Parts counting

With parts counting you can either count parts into a container or remove parts from

a container. To count a greater number of parts the average weight per part has to

be determined with a small quantity (reference quantity). The larger the reference

quantity, the higher the counting exactness. High reference must be selected for

small parts or parts with considerably different sizes.

The process has four steps:

• Tare the weighing container

• Determine the reference unit

• Weigh in the reference unit

• Count the items

Condition: Activate the PCS function with the menu element 57 if it is not set. (The

unit of PCS function is factory set.)

Make sure that the balance is in the weighing mode. (the unit of „g” is displayed)

Press the

UNIT

button repeatedly until the „PCS” symbol is

displayed.

Place the container on the balance plate and tare the balance

with the

button.

Count exactly 9 (or 10, 20, 50, 100 or 200) pieces of the sample

to be weighed and put them into the container.

number of the pieces being put.
