5 Weighing functions
The indicator has facilities for adjusting zero, use the tare and printing.
However the available weighing functions depends on if the indicator is
in non-automatic or automatic mode and installation requirements.
Note: As the weight indicator can be adapted to a larger number of
different weighing applications, some functions may be disabled for a
particular scale. In such cases the function will remain inoperable but
displays ‘-OFF-‘when requested to be activated.
5.1 Zero setting
A scale may as a result of external conditions indicate a value other than
exact ”0.000”, even when the scale has no load. The zero can, however,
be acquired to ensure that any new weighing always starts at zero. The
zero setting is only allowed to be carried out when the scale is stable
and within a limited range. If the scale cannot be zeroed even when
stable, it means that the range has been exceeded. It is important to
verify that the scale is empty before operating the zero setting function.
See below examples:
• Scale with no load does not show exact zero (e.g. residue material
from last weighing).
