5.2. TARE AND TARE RECORD IN MEMORY
A short press on this key activates the tare function: The scale
memorizes the weight currently on the load receptor and
subtracts it from the total weight until the tare function is
deactivated or cancelled.
The tare function only operates if the weight is stable. If the stability indicator
is switched off, pressing this key has no effect. It is possible to change this
feature by changing the option in the configuration menu to “NO”.
It can be “Normal Tare” or “Fixed Tare” depending on the operating mode
selected in the configuration menu (see option ).
• Preset tare. The tare remains after emptying the load receptor. The >T<
indication on the display stays constant, non-flashing. When the scale is
emptied, the display shows the tare value with a negative sign. To cancel
the tare, press on the tare button again after emptying the plate.
• Normal tare. The tare is automatically deactivated when the plate is
emptied. The >T< indicator is switched on intermittently in the LCD
display.
Keeping this key pressed for 2 seconds switches the operating mode from
“fixed tare” to “normal tare”. The default operating mode for tare is “preset
tare”, although this value can be changed in the options menu (see option
).
It is possible to apply a tare previously memorized in the unit. The K3
indicator has up to 20 tare records, numbered from 1-20. Double-press the
tare key to access this record and select one of the memorized tares.
The display will show the message; press on the key, enter the tare
record number you wish to select and validate by double-pressing the key.
The display will show for one second the tare value associated to the selected
record. It will then return to the weight reading mode and will apply the tare.
