until the full tare range
c. If manual tare is needed, place the load/container on the platter first and press TARE key to tare
off the weight. After weight is tared, NET indicator will appear indicating the weight showing on
display is net weight
d. If preset tare is needed, use numeric keypad to enter the tare value and then press TARE key.
The display will show a negative preset tare value and both NET and PT indicators will appear
e. The ZERO indicator points out the negative value shown means the platter is at zero weight
status
f. When the goods is placed on the platter with a positive value shown, this indicates the actual
weight of the goods.
5.2.1 How To Clear Tare Function (auto tare, manual tare, preset tare)
a. To clear auto tare, remove the initial weight/load from the platter and NET indicator will turn off.
Press ZERO key to return to zero weight status if ZERO indicator does not appear.
b. To clear manual tare, remove everything from platter and press TARE key, the NET indicator will
turn off. Press ZERO key to return to zero weight status if ZERO indicator does not appear.
c. To clear preset tare, press 0 on the numeric keypad first and then press TARE key to cancel
preset tare. Please make sure scale is not engaged in any kind of tare before proceed to modify
the pre-tare value.

NOTE:
It is regulated by OIML R76 that in dual range application, tare value will be cancelled automatically
when returning from W2 to W1.

5.3 HOW TO USE THE COUNT FUNCTION

The result of total piece count is the result of calculation from weight being placed on the platter
against with unit piece weight. There are two methods to obtain the unit weight:

5.3.1 Automatic Sampling

a. Refer to the above steps about how to weigh and place a known quantity on platter
b. Use numeric keypad to enter the known quantity and press QTY SET
c. Scale will show the piece weight in UNIT WEIGHT window

5.3.2 Direct Entry

a. Refer to the above steps about how to weigh and place a load on platter
b. Use numeric keypad to enter the piece weight and press WT. SET
c. The total quantity will be in TOTAL COUNT window
d. To set another piece weight, remove the load and manually enter the unit piece weight and
press WT. SET
e. If a mistake a found when key in the value, press CL to start again. To cancel the unit weight,
press 0 and then press WT.SET

5.4 HOW TO USE MEMORY FUNCTION

5.4.1 To Save To Memory
This scale comes with memory function and result can be transmitted through optional RS232
interface.
a. Obtain the total count by either automatic sampling or direct entry
b. Press M+
c. UNIT WEIGHT window shows “Add. XX”, for “XX” is the number of transactions saved in memory,
while the TOTAL COUNT window will show the accumulated result with TOTAL indicator on.
Both information will remain on display for 1 second and return to normal weighing
d. M+ indicator is switched on meaning there are data saved in memory
e. Remove item from platter and repeat the above steps to save the next transaction

5.4.2 To Recall From Memory

a. Press MR once to recall the total amount of transactions saved in memory, WEIGHT window
shows the total accumulated weight, UNIT WEIGHT window shows “tot. XX”, for “XX” is the
number of transactions saved in memory, while the TOTAL COUNT window will show the
accumulated quantity with TOTAL indicator on
b. Information on display will show for 3 second and return to normal weighing

5.4.3 To Delete From Memory

a. Press MR to recall the accumulated data from memory
b. Press CL after MR is pressed
c. Memory is cleared and M+ indicator is off
d. If any other key instead of CL is pressed after pressing MR, memory will not be deleted

5.5 HOW TO USE CHECK FUNCTION

The check function provides an audible warning towards the upper limit set by user for either total
quantity or gross weight
a. Press CHK and display will show CHECK on TOTAL COUNT window
b. Use numeric keypad to enter either the upper limit for quantity or weight
c. If the value entered is for total quantity, press QTY SET; if the value entered is for weight, press
WT. SET
d. If the value entered is incorrect, press CL to clear the value. If the intend function is wrongly
pressed, restart the check function
e. To cancel the check function, press CHK first and press digit key “0”. When the value 0 is flashing
in the UNIT WEIGHT window, press either QTY SET or WT. SET to cancel the function which was
previously engaged

5.6 AUTO PIECE WEIGHT ENHANCEMENT FUNCTION

This scale equips with auto piece weight enhancement function, which activates automatically
when the piece weighing is obtained through 5.3.1 Automatic Sampling. This function provides a
constant monitoring on the changes on the unit piece weight to obtain the most precise counting
result. The updated unit piece weight will show on the UNIT WEIGHT window follows by a short
beep.
In order to have auto piece weight enhancement function working properly, there are two
conditions to meet:
1. Unit weight is obtained by automatic sampling, the direct entry method will only have fix unit
weight.
2. After the initial sampling, the next load place on the platter must not exceeds 100% of the
original count
