9.4.1 Parts Counting

This allows the user to weigh a sample of parts to compute an average unit
weight and then determine the number of items being weighed by dividing the
net weight by the unit weight value. The result is always a whole number of
parts.

The balance will have a preset number of parts to be used as a sample.
These values are 10, 25, 50 or 100 items.

Steps:

• Press [Mode] to show parts counting, “PARTS” will be displayed

• Enter parts counting by pressing [Enter]

• Press the [Up] or [Down] key to select the sample size, “REF QTY”,

10, 25, 50, 100, etc., then press [Enter] to confirm

• When “LOAD XX Pcs” is shown place XX number of items on the pan

and press [Enter] to compute the average piece weight. Display will
indicate the busy symbol

• Remove the sample when display shows “XX Pcs” and then place an

unknown quantity on the pan. The balance will then compute the
number of parts based upon the average piece weight. The display will
show the result in Pcs

• To count another item press [Mode] and continue as before

• Checks will be made to determine that the weight of the reference parts

is large enough for reasonably accurate counting (weight of each piece
should be > 1d)

• To return to normal weighing, press [Esc]
