6.1 ZEROING AND TARING THE DISPLAY
The Tare and Zero function are combined into one key. When the
gross weight is within ±2% of the zero, set at power on for either scale
then a new zero is set. If the gross weight is greater than ±2% then
the tare function is performed.
ZEROING
• You can press the [Tare/Zero] key at any time to set the zero
point from which all other weighing and counting is measured.
When the zero point is obtained the Weight display will show
the indicator at “Zero”.
• The scale has an automatic re-zeroing function to account for
minor drifting or accumulation of material on the platform.
However you may need to press the [Tare/Zero] to re-zero the
scale if small amounts of weight are still shown even when the
platform is empty.
TARING
Select the local or remote scale as applicable by pressing the [Local Rem]
key. Preset tare values can be used with both the local and remote scale. If
a new tare value is to be used, there are two methods for entering a tare
value. The first method uses the weight on the platform and the second
uses a value to be entered by the user.
First method of entering a tare value:
• Zero the scale by pressing the [Tare/Zero] key, if necessary.
The arrow indicator over “Zero” will be on.
• Place a container on the platform, a value for its weight will be
displayed.
• Press [Tare/Zero] to tare the scale. The displayed weight is
stored as the tare value and that value is subtracted from the
display, leaving zero on the display. The arrow over "Net" will
be on. As product is added only the net weight of the product
will be shown. The scale could be tared a second time if another
type of product was to be added to the first one. Again only the
weight that is added after taring will be displayed.
