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 and place the container on the pan.
2. Press the tare key, then place a known number of pieces in the container.
3. Enter the number of pieces placed in the container.
4. Press the count key.
5. Add pieces to continue counting.
6. Wait for the "ok" symbol, then read the display. The scale reads the total number
of pieces placed in the container.
7. Press the gross key. The scale now reads the gross weight of the contents and
the container combined.
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.
2. Place the pieces on the pan.
3. Enter the average piece weight.
4. Press the apw key.
5. Wait for the "ok" symbol, then read the display. The scale now displays the
number of pieces on the pan.
Note: If you don’t know the average piece weight, your scale can automatically
calculate it for you. Simply use the procedure for counting, and press the ./rcl ,
apw keys when you have a known number of pieces placed on the pan and
showing on the display.
Before you enter an average piece weight, make sure your scale is reading in
the same unit of measure as the average piece weight.
