DOT600 Roadbed Water Content Meter

5.1 Tare Scale

Place the empty sample chamber base and cylinder on the scale.

The scale is very sensitive. Do not pull up on scale during
use. Doing so could permanently damage the scale.

CAUTION

In the top level menu select Make Measurements, select Measurement, and
then select Tare Scale. The display will then shift back to the Make
Measurement
menu. When the Measurement value is 0 the measurement is
complete.

Weighing measurements take about 3 seconds. When the tare measurement is
complete the weight of the item on the scale is displayed next to Tare (g)
(found at the bottom of the list. Use arrow keys to scroll down list). If an
accurate measurement is not made within 9 seconds, a “wind error” message
will appear on the screen and the tare process will need to be started again.
