CHAPTER 4: ADVANCED FEATURES AND OPERATION
4.1 AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT (APW) ENTRY
If you already know the Average Piece Weight or APW of the items you wish to count, then use the
following procedure.
4.1.1 AVERAGE PIECE WEIGHT (APW) ENTRY
1. Using the numeric and decimal point keys, key-in the actual unit weight value.
2. Press the APW WT / MODE key. If the unit weight is large enough, the scale will now
display the number of pieces on the scale. If it does not, the scale briefly displays an
error message, but still allows piece counting. Please see Appendix C for an explanation
of the error messages.
NOTE 1: If the scale displays a “Error 10” message, the unit weight of the items you wish
to count is too light for your scale to process at all.
4.2 ALTERNATIVE SAMPLING METHOD
If you wish to use a non-standard sampling size, then use the following procedure.
5. If the items you will be counting require a container, you must first tare the container off by
pressing the TARE key. The scale switches to TARE mode and sets the displayed weight to zero.
6. Place the sample items on the platform all at once.
7. Using the numeric keys, key-in the number of items you have placed on the scale’s platter.
8. Press the SAMPLE / SAVE key. If the sample meets the limits shown in Table 3-2, the scale will
now display the number of pieces on the scale. If it does not, the scale flashes the APW WT /
MODE annunciator but still allows piece counting. If this occurs, you should use a higher sample
amount to achieve better piece count accuracy. Please see Table 3-1 for an explanation of the
error annunciators.
NOTE1 : If the scale displays a “Error 10” message, the unit weight of the items you wish
to count is too light for your scale to process at all.
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: Make sure the scale is in piece counting mode. If it is not, follow the sampling procedure
found in Section 3.3.5 or the alternative sampling procedure found in Section 4.2.
4.3.1 DISPLAYING THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the MR key. The scale briefly displays the total number of pieces.
4.3.2 ADDING TO THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the M+ key. The scale adds the current number of pieces to the memory
accumulator.
4.3.3 CLEARING THE MEMORY ACCUMULATOR
1. Press the MC key.
