6 Replace the container/cage with the enclosed
sample/animal on the weighing pan.
Wait 5 seconds and then press the RANGE/
FUNCTION button. The time averaging may
require several more seconds to reach a final
value.
8 If you want to exit the time averaging weighing
mode, press the MODE switch.
You are now in the weighing mode you used just
before selecting the time averaging mode.

Floating Tare™ (dual range models only):
Floating tare is only active when the balance is in LO range. Floating tare yields low range resolution through-
out the entire high range capacity of the balance. A typical example using floating tare would be where you
combine different components by weight to produce compounds. The procedure is as follows.
Select LO range by pressing the RANGE button until LO briefly appears in the display.
Place container on weighing pan. If the container weight exceeds LO range capacity, OL is displayed. If the
container weight does not exceed the LO range capacity, the container weight is displayed.
Press the ZERO button. The display returns to zeros and LO range.
Add the first component until the target weight is reached. Then press ZERO.
Add the second component until the target weight is reached. Then press ZERO.
Continue until all components have been added.
Floating tare allows you to enter the LO range from anywhere within the full capacity range of the balance.
This feature is particularly useful when adding small amounts to large tare loads and compounding where
weights are accumulated. Floating tare is only active when the balance is in LO range. Pressing the ZERO but-
ton returns the display to zeros in LO range. While you are using the floating tare feature, it is easy to lose track
on how much capacity has been used. For this reason the Capacity Tracking feature is a helpful tool. Please see
the discussion under that heading.
Capacity Tracker:
The capacity tracker provides a graphic display of the used and unused portions of the weighing range and is
shown in Figures 4 and 5. Each segment represents 10% of the balance's total capacity. As 10% of the bal-
ance’s capacity is used the first segment will illuminate. As 20% of the balance’s capacity is reached the sec-
ond segment will light and so on.
