Key/Function Explanation
TARE Zeros the weight of an
empty sample pan:
automatically loads the
pan from the sample
platform, raises the
furnace to protect the pan
from air currents, weighs
the pan, stores the weight
as an offset, and then
unloads the pan.
LOAD Loads a sample pan from
the sample platform onto
the balance.
UNLOAD Unloads the sample pan
from the balance onto the
sample platform.
FURNACE Toggles between the
furnace closed (up) and
furnace open (down)
functions, depending on
where the furnace is when
you press the key. This
key can be pressed while
the furnace is moving to
reverse the direction of
movement.
START Begins the experiment.
This is the same function
as Start on the controller.
