4.3 MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
Your scale comes equipped with a handy memory accumulator, which can be used in conjunction
with the piece counting feature. As with a hand-held calculator, the memory accumulator can be
added to, displayed and cleared at anytime.
NOTE: This feature can be used in any weighing mode. However, the accumulator memory is
automatically cleared if the scale is switched to another unit of measure using the UNITS key.
4.3.1 DISPLAYING THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the MR key. The scale briefly displays the total value stored in the accumulator
but only if the Mem annunciator is lit.
NOTE: If a device is connected to the scale’s serial port, then that device will receive
an automatic printout of the number of entries made and as well as the total value
stored in the accumulator. See Appendix B for more detailed information.
4.3.2 ADDING TO THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the M+ key. The scale shows “Add”, lights the Mem annunciator, and then
adds the current value shown on the display to the memory accumulator.
NOTE: If a device is connected to the scale’s serial port, then that device will receive
an automatic printout of that entry. See Appendix B for more detailed information.
4.3.3 CLEARING THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the MC key. The scale displays “Clr” to indicate that the memory has been
cleared and also extinguishes the Mem annunciator.
4.4 PERCENTAGE MODE
This mode is used to indicate the weight percentage of an item you have placed on the scale’s
platform relative to 100%. This is useful for filling and moisture determination applications.
The scale uses the sampling method to determine the percentage value of 100%. Consult Table 4-2
for acceptance criteria.
1. Press the UNITS key until the scale is in percentage mode, indicated by the % sign. The scale should
display “100 0 %”. If it does not, press the SAMPLE key.
2. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by pressing
the ZERO key.
3. Place the reference item (100%) on the platform. Once the scale stabilizes, the scale will display “100
– %”.
4. Press the SAMPLE key to take the sample. If the sample meets the limits shown in Table 4-2, the
scale will now display 100%.
NOTE: If the scale displays a “Add” message, the weight of the reference item you wish to
sample is too light for your scale to process at all.
