During  piece  counting  parts  can  either  be  counted  into  a 
container or out of 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 larger the reference quantity, the more accurate the parts 
counting. 
The process has four steps: 
Tare the weighing container 
Determine the reference unit 
Original weighing of reference weight 
Count the items 
  In weighing mode press MODE key shortly. Reference 
piece number „5
PCS
“ appears flashing. 
  By pressing the MODE button several times other 
reference quantities 5, 10, 20, 25 and 50 can be called up. 
Place as many pieces to count on the weighing plate as the 
set reference quantity requires. 
  Use the SET key to confirm. The balance is now in parts 
counting mode counting all units on the weighing plate. 
  Back to weighing mode by 
pressing the MODE button.
