Second Tare Memory
(Preset Tare)
Purpose
With this function, you can store the
weight currently on the scale as a tare
weight, or use the numeric keys to
enter a number for a preset tare weight.
You can use this function in
combination with a program from
Application 1 (such as counting,
weighing in percent), one from Appli-
cation 2 (checkweighing,
time-controlled functions) and one
from Application 3 (totalizing,
formulation, statistics) as well as
with the extra functions.
Features
– Store a weight on the scale
in the second tare memory (without
numeric input)
– Store a numeric value in the
second tare memory (input using
the numeric keys)
– Identify a net value as s when
there is a value stored in the
second tare memory
– You can assign this function to the
fourth or fifth soft key (from the
right); i.e., F4 or F5.
The soft key designation for this
function is: PT1/T1
– Optional configuration in the Setup

readout as the container tare
weight. Any load subsequently

automatically.
