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%
increments). 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.
