Factor Calculation Example
As you add the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.”
For models verified for use in legal metrology, the displayed value is marked with a
l symbol to indicated computed values.
Suppose you want to weigh 250 ml for a basic formula that has a total of 1 l, and
you don't want to have to manually recalculate the individual components of the
formula.
The basic formula for 1 liter:
250 g 1. Component
+ 250 g 2. Component
+ 500 g 3. Component
Total: 1000 g
t Place the empty container on the weighing pan.
t Briefly press the 0 key to tare.
t Press the factor key $ several times until the factor “.25” is displayed below the
factor key.
t Slowly add the first component “250 g” until the display shows “250 g.”
t Add the second color component “250 g” until the display shows “500 g.”
t Add the third component “500 g” until the display shows “1000 g.”
This concludes the calculation example. According to the display, exactly 1000 g was
poured in, but the paint can actually contains 250 g by weight in accordance with
the factor you selected.
The procedure is the same for any other conversion factor.
6.6.2 Weighing Using the Recalculation Function
Suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula
(in this example, a four-component recipe).
This example further assumes that you previously poured in all of the other amounts
exactly according to each of the values you entered and saved them by pressing the
MEM key !.
t Press the P key to start the recalculation program.
y “C” flashes on the display.
t Correct the value using the O / P keys to match the specified formula value.
t Press the MEM key !.
y The scale calculates the amount to be added for each of the components that
were already poured. The display shows the amounts required to correct the
formula up to the point at which the overpour occurred.
t After the correction has been completed, you can continue filling the remaining
components.
You can correct overpours as often as needed, as long as the total weight of the
formula does not exceed the scale's maximum weight.
Keep in mind that the total quantity of paint (liter) at the conclusion of filling
increases each time you correct a component. Press the § key to display the
correction factor of the fill quantity. “C” = correction factor
