Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor)
This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of
your basic formula for a specific paint color (e.g. 250 ml of a 1 l formula). Press the
K factor key to select the desired factor (quantity):
By pressing the R key: up
or S key: down
the value can
be modified – in 0.1 increments for factors of 1.0 to 6.0
or – in 0.01 increments for a factor of up to 1.0.
Note:
A flashing n arrow on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not
valid in legal metrology (i.e. not legal for trade).
Example:
As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.”
Let'ssuppose you want to weigh out 3 kg of a 1kg basic formula, and you don't
want to have to manually recalculate the individual components of the formula.
The basic formula for 1 kg is:
250 g 1st component
+ 250 g 2nd component
+ 500 g 3rd component
Total: 1000 g
1. Place the empty container on the load plate and tare the scale.
2. Press the F factor key repeatedly to set the factor to “3.0" for this example.
