Section 6: The “Weighing” application

6.3.1 Manually entering the tare preset

You normally determine the tare by placing the weighing container on the balance and then touching the «1» key. However,

if you are going to work with the same weighing container for a long period of time, you can enter its weight manually instead. This

saves you having to tare when you place the weighing container on the balance. When the weighing container is taken off the balance,

the tare weight is shown as a negative value; when it is replaced, the display shows zero and the balance is immediately ready for

weighing again.

For you to be able to enter a tare preset value, the corresponding function key must be

activated (Section 6.2.2). After the function key is touched, the window for entering the

tare value opens.

Key the desired tare value in. Check the weighing unit: this is displayed to the right of

the tare value. If you touch the weighing unit, the units available for selection are

displayed. Note: The units are not converted automatically, i.e. if you input a value in

a particular unit, this value remains, even if you change the weighing unit.

After you have entered the value, touch “OK” to activate the tare preset.

If you have activated the corresponding information field (Section 6.2.4), the value

which has been input for the tare preset will be displayed below the weighing result.

6.3.2 Changing the resolution of the weighing result

Before it leaves the factory, the balance is set so that the weighing result is displayed with the maximum resolution depending on

the model (corresponding to 1d). You can change the resolution of the weighing result at any time during your work.

For you to be able to change the resolution of the weighing result, the corresponding

function keys must be activated (Section 6.2.2). You can use these function keys to

display the weighing result at a lower resolution:

“1/10d”: 10x lower resolution

“1/100d”: 100x lower resolution

“1/1000d”: 1000x lower resolution

6.3.3 Specifying the target weight and tolerances

Your balance provides you with several special functions to make weighing-in to a specified target value easier. For you to be able

to enter a target weight and the associated tolerances, the corresponding function keys must be activated (Section 6.2.2).

You can use this function key to specify the desired target weight. This makes weighing-

in to a target value easier for you, because the target value is also used by the

“SmartTrac” graphical weighing-in aid (Section 6.3.4).

When the function key is touched, the window for entering the target weight appears.

Key in the desired target value. Check the weighing unit which is displayed to the right

of the target value. If you touch the weighing unit, the units available for selection are

displayed. Note: The units are not converted automatically, i.e. if you input a value in

a particular unit, this value remains, even if you change the weighing unit.

After you have entered the value, touch “OK” to activate the tare preset.

If you have activated the corresponding information field (Section 6.2.4), the value

which has been input for the target weight will be displayed below the weighing result.
