3.5 Percent Weighing
Percent Weighing is enabled only when Percent is turned ON in the Mode menu under Setup. Percent weighing
permits you to place a reference load on the balance, then view other loads as a percentage of the reference. The load
you place on the pan as a reference may be displayed as any percentage you select from 5% to 100% (in 1% incre-
ments). One hundred percent does not necessarily have to represent the reference load. Subsequent loads, displayed
as a percentage of the reference are limited only by the capacity of the balance. The default setting is Reference
100%. Refer to paragraph 4.7 to enable percent weighing.

ence weight for two seconds in the selected measur-
ing unit, then displays the percentage which was

UNITS button, then press button until unit of
measurement such as GRAMS is displayed, then
