BASIC WEIGHING
To weigh a sample on your scale, use the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key.
2. Place the object(s) to be weighed on the pan.
3. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the weight from the display.
WEIGHING WITH THE TARE FUNCTION
To weigh objects (or liquids) in a container without including the weight of the
container, use the tare function. The container weight is subtracted from the display
and stored in the tare register before you begin weighing. To tare out the weight of a
container, and then weigh the contents placed or poured into it, use the following
procedure:
1. Press the zero key.
2. Place the empty container on the pan.
3. Press the tare key.
4. Place or pour objects or liquids into the container.
5. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the net weight from the display.
Note: When you press the tare key, the display ONLY is set to zero. This is not the
same as using the zero key. When using the tare key, the container weight is
not set to zero, but is subtracted from the display and stored in the tare register.
WEIGHING WITH THE GROSS FUNCTION
You can use your scale to weigh contents placed or poured into a container, and
then add the weight of the container to find the gross (combined) weight of the
contents and the container. This is different from basic weighing, as it lets you find
the weight of contents (resistors, for example) placed or poured in a container, and
then find the total weight. To find the gross weight of a container and its contents, use
the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key.
2. Place the empty container on the pan.
3. Press the tare key.
4. Place or pour objects or liquids into the container.
5. Read the net weight from the display.
