Automatic Taring
The first weight on the scale that
exceeds the preset minimum load is
stored in the tare memory at stability.
The values for subsequent loads are
stored as weight values. The scale
returns to the initial state when the
load is less than 50% of the minimum
load.
Minimum Load
To tare container weights automati-
cally, set the minimum load in the
operating menu.
You can choose from 10 settings,
defined in scale intervals (digits),
ranging from:
1 digit (no minimum load)
to
1000 digits
The “digits" here refer to the scale
intervals in the connected weighing
platform. Example: If the scale interval
(d) is 1000 g and the minimum load
is set to 1000 digits (=1000 scale
intervals), a load of at least 1000 g
is required for autotaring.
Automatic Printing
The first weight value that exceeds
the minimum load is printed.
