3.8 “Tare”
Keypad entered tare: Touch the Enter key to set a new pushbutton tare by scrolling
through digits one place at a time. Keypad tare values are entered in the current units,
and are limited to be greater than gross zero weight and less than the indicator capacity.
Entering a tare of zero will clear any existing tare from indicator.
4 How to Step Through Menus
From the main weight display, press the “Menu/Help” key. You are now in a menu, and
the keys now have different functions:
Cancel Help Enter Down Up
• “Cancel” will back you out of the menu one level at a time.
• “Help” will display information about the current choice (option).
• “Enter” has various functions, depending on where you are in the menu.
• The “Down” key will scroll backward through the menu choices.
• The “Up” key will scroll forward through the menu choices.
4.1 Menus can contain several different items
An item with a “*” on the right end will do something when you press the enter key–
something might be turn the indicator off, drill down into another menu, clear totals, or
start a calibration routine. The item with a numeric value (scale capacity, for instance)
at the right side of the display might allow you to change the number by pressing the
enter key. An item with text (such as “on” or “off”) at the right side of the display might
allow you to select from a list of options by pressing the enter key. Some items are just
for reference and cannot be changed at all. Examples of reference items would be the
software name and revision–these are set when the software is written and cannot be
changed.
4.2 How to enter a number
Using the calibration routine as an example: Press the “Enter” key. The indicator display
will show “Cal weight ” and the cursor will be blinking. The blinking cursor is the
clue that you can enter an arbitrary number using the up, down, right, and enter keys.
Pressing the up/down keys will scroll through the list (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 - . ) in
turn. When the desired number appears, press the right arrow (menu/help) key. The
blinking cursor will advance one digit to the right, leaving your selected number in
place. Continue this sequence until the desired numeric value is visible on the display.
Press the “Enter” key to accept the value, or the “Cancel” key to abort.
Example: Enter a calibration weight of 25 pounds
• Start with the indicator at a normal weight display (“ 0.00 lb”)
