5-4. Selecting a weighing unit
Press the UNITS key to select a unit.
The following sections are a description of the
three common units: g (gram mode), pcs (counting
mode), and % (percent mode).
5-5. Basic operation
1. Select a weighing unit.
2. When the display does not show zero, press the
RE-ZERO key to set the display to zero.
3. When using a tare (container), place the
container on the weighing pan, and press the
RE-ZERO key to subtract the tare weight.
4. Place the object to be weighed on the pan or in
the container.
Wait for the STABLE indicator to be displayed
and read the value.
5. Remove the object from the pan.
The RE-ZERO key will zero the balance if
the weight is within ±2% of the weighing
capacity around the power-on zero point.
The ZERO indicator
turns on. When the
weight exceeds +2% of the weighing
capacity, it will be subtracted to zero as a
tare weight. In this case the ZERO and NET
marks turn on.
Precautions during operation
Make sure that the STABLE indicator is on whenever reading or storing a
value.
Do not press the keys with a sharp object such as a pencil.
Do not apply a shock or a load to the pan that is beyond the weighing
capacity.
Keep the balance free from foreign objects such as dust or liquid.
Calibrate the balance periodically to keep weighing accuracy. (See “7.
CALIBRATION”.)
