upon completion of the code, but the beep will still follow each valid key press. If the
passcode is not accepted, the display will read COD.E.R. In this case, a new attempt
should be made. (See Calibration for more.)
2.2 - Tare
Switching between Gross and Net modes
The system features a Tare function that enables the user to ensure the display reads 0
even though there may be weight on the system such as from a sling, shackles or a
container. This capability makes the system easy to use as it eliminates the need for
the operator to subtract the weight of the container, etc. when only the net amount of
the load is required.
To use the tare mode, load the system with the desired container and then press .
The screen will display NET, then the value of 0. The system is now in Net mode. To
exit out of Net mode, press again. GROSS will appear indicating that the
system is back in Gross mode. The system will show NET on the screen about once
every minute as a reminder that it is in Net mode. Note that switching between Gross
and Net modes will clear the MAX (see MAX section).
CAUTION:
When measuring loads using a shifted zero applied and/or with the tare function
applied, the real load is the value indicated on the readout plus that of the shifted zero
or tare. Take this into account to avoid accidental overloads.
2.3 - Max (a.k.a. Peak Hold)
Checking the maximum registered load value
The system features a MAX (aka PEAK HOLD) function. MAX will store the
maximum weight that the system has detected since it was last powered on or since
the Gross/Net mode was changed.
Press the key until the display shows :M:AX. It will then display the current
maximum load the system has registered since the last time the MAX was reset. The
weight will be displayed for approximately two seconds with colons in between the
digits. These simply serve as a visual indicator that the displayed value is the stored
