10.7 Registering Container Weight (Pretaring
Value)
Not applicable to a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in using region
Notes
• If the weight of the tare (container) varies, accurate measurement with
Pretaring Value function cannot made.
• Pretaring Value function cannot be used with Peak Hold (11.3), Add-on
Mode(11.5), Animal Weighing Mode(11.6), Formulation Mode (11.7) or Auto
Print function (13.3).
This function is used to weigh the mass of a sample packed in a container such as a bottle or bag without
opening the container. Pretare function should be used only if the mass of each container does not vary
from sample to sample. Instead of zero, the pretare value is displayed (as a negative value) when the [O/T]
key is pressed. The pretare value is then subtracted from the total load on the balance pan to display the
weight of the sample.

Pretare Value
When a Pretare value other than zero has been set, the symbol illuminates.
• The Pretare value is set using the “g” unit. The maximum value is the weighing capacity of the balance.
Refer to 4.4 for numerical value input methods.
• Cancel the pretaring value by setting it to zero.
• Check the Pretare value by pressing and holding the [O/T] key for approximately 3 seconds during
weighing.
Use the AKB-301 external keypad if you have to change the Pretare value frequently. To configure settings
using the AKB-301, input the pretaring value as numbers, then press the [O/T] key.
