5. OPERATING MODE
ATTENTION - When using the balance, avoid loading on the pan weights heavier than the
balance capacity. At any rate, the objects to be weighed must be placed on the pan with
care.
In operating modality the default measurement unit is grams (g) but, when requested, the
balance can be programmed to perform weighings with units of measurement different
from grams. The available options are: ounces (oz), pounds (lb), carats (ct), pieces (Pcs)
and percentage (%).
To activate the second unit see the instructions at Sec. 6 - CONFIGURATION MODE.
In the following , the three main utilisation mode of the balance are described: WEIGHING
mode, PIECE COUNTING mode and PERCENTAGE CALCULATION mode.
5.1 WEIGHING MODE - “g / oz / lb / ct”
After possible warm-up, the balance is ready to weigh with precision. After placing the
object or the objects to be weighed on the pan, the display will show their weight. By
pressing the ZERO-T key, the weight is set to zero, and the display will show "0.0". This
operation is useful for dosing or when it is necessary to perform the tare of the containers
necessary to weigh bulk objects, powders, liquids, little animals, etc.
If a second unit has been enabled, it is possible to shift instantaneously between the
default unit (g) and the second unit selected by pressing the MODE key for less than one
second: the weight showed on the display will be automatically converted in the unit
selected. Press again the MODE key to return at the default unit (g).
- NOTE -
If there is an interruption in the mains supply or the power supply is accidentally
disconnected during the weighing operations, the balance stores in memory the data
displayed at the moment of the interruption.
For example: if the display was showing "3950 g" at the moment of the power
interruption, the display will show "3950 g" when the power supply is restored. If the
pan is unloaded before restoring the power supply, when the balance turns on again
the display will show "0.0 g" or the negative value of the possible tares set.
5.2 PIECE COUNTING MODE - "Pcs"
Once activated the alternative unit "Pcs", it is necessary, at first, to define the sampling
value to be used for the counting. Operate as follows:
▪ If the unit "Pcs" is not showed on the display, press for less than one second the
MODE key.
▪ When "Pcs" is showed press for more than one second the MODE key. The
display will blink and show “10 PCS”. This is the first pre-set acquisition value
proposed. If a different sample is going to be acquired, press again for less than
one second the MODE key. It is possible to choose among other sampling values,
“20 PCS” and “50 PCS” .
▪ Put on the pan the correspondent number of pieces (10, 20, 50 pieces).
▪ When the display shows the steady value symbol, confirm with the ON-OFF key.
The balance calculates automatically the single weigh, and store the set sampling.
