• When the container is removed a negative value will be shown. If the
scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the
gross weight of the container plus all products those were removed.
The zero indicator will also be ON because the platform is back to the
same condition as it was when the [Tare/Zero] key was last pressed.
Second method of entering a tare value:
• This method allows you to enter a value for the tare weight from the
keypad. This is useful if all containers are the same or if the container
is already full but the net weight is required and the weight of the
container is known.
• Remove all weights from the platform, press the [Tare/Zero] key to
zero the display.
• Enter the value for the Tare weight including decimal point using the
keypad, press [Tare/Zero] to store the tare value. The weight will show
a negative value equal to the tare.
• Place the container on the platform.
• The display will then show the weight of the container minus the tare
weight. When the full container is placed on the platform the tare value
will be subtracted from the gross weight displaying only the net weight
of the contents.
• If the value input is not consistent with the increment of the scale, the
scale will round the tare value to the nearest value possible. For
example, if a tare value of 103g is entered into the 60Kg scale with 5g
readability, then the display will show -105g.
• The tare value for each scale is held in memory so that they are not lost
when the active scale changes.
