6.2. TARE FUNCTION
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.
Tare function can only be done when there is a weight higher than zero on
the scale.
It can be “Normal measured Tare” or “Pre-set Tare” depending on the
operating mode selected in the configuration menu (see option ).
• Pre-set tare. The tare remains after unload 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 unloading the load
receptor.
• Normal measured tare. The tare is automatically deactivated when the
load receptor is empty. The >T< indicator is switched on intermittently in
the LCD display.
Double press this key to switch the operating mode from “pre-set tare” to
“normal measured tare”. The default operating mode for tare is “pre-set
tare”, although this setting can be changed in the options menu (see option
).
To cancel the tare when a “pre-set” tare is active, with the load receptor
empty, press the tare button again. The “clear” function (keep the MC button
pressed for more than one second) also deactivates the tare. The zero-setting
key also deactivates the tare.
