COUNTING WITH THE GROSS FUNCTION
You can use your scale to count the number of pieces being placed in a container,
find the net weight of the pieces, and find the gross (combined) weight of the pieces
and the container. To do so, use the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key.
2. Place the container on the pan.
3. Press the tare key.
4. Place a known number of pieces in the container.
5. Enter the number of pieces placed in the container.
6. Press the count key.
7. Add pieces to continue counting.
8. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the display. The scale reads the total
number of pieces placed in the container.
9. Press the gross key. The scale now displays the gross weight of the contents
and the container.
Note: Pressing the gross key again (or pressing clear ) will return the display to net
weight.
COUNTING WITH THE AVERAGE-PIECE-WEIGHT FUNCTION
You can use your scale to count the number of pieces in a batch (a handful of
capacitors, for example) by weighing the pieces and dividing the weight of the batch
by the known average weight of one piece. To calculate the number of pieces in a
batch using the average piece weight, use the following procedure:
1. Press the zero key then place the pieces on the pan.
2. Make sure the scale is in the units you wish to use, then enter the average piece
weight.
3. Press the apw key.
4. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the display. The scale now reads the
number of pieces on the pan.
Note: If you don’t know the average weight of one piece, your scale can automatically
calculate it for you. Simply use the procedure for counting, and press the apw
key when you have a known number of pieces placed on the pan and showing
on the display.
