(Container weight tared)

(Place material in container)

(50g sample) NOTE: Removing the container and material from the platform will cause the balance to display the container’s weight as a negative number. The tared weight remains until ON/ZERO Off button is pressed again or the balance is turned off. (Remove container with material)

Parts Counting Parts Counting is enabled only when PC is turned ON in the .U.N.I.T. menu. In parts counting mode, there are two modes of parts counting, normal and enhanced. In normal parts counting, the balance determines the quantity based on the average weight of the parts in the original reference quanitity. In the enhanced mode, additional parts can be added to the platform equal to or less than the original number. The additional reference quantity produces a more accurate average part weight.
