TARE
Function:
Stores a Tare Weight (Gross Weight mode) or...Displays temporarily
the Tare Weight (Net Weight mode).
Use:
1) Only positive weight readings can be tared.
2) The scale will only tare when it is in the GROSS mode
3) The motion annunciator must be off, the weight reading must
be stable. The weight reading must be stable within
±
1
division (Motion annunciator off).
4) Setting or changing the tare has no effect on the zero setting.
5) Taring will reduce the apparent overrange of the scale. For
example, if a 1000lb container was tared and the scale
capacity is 5000lb, the scale will overload at a net weight of
4000lb (5000-1000) plus any additional allowed overload
(usually ~4%) .
6) The tare value is stored in the backup memory, which will
restore it the next time the system is turned on.
Action:
Push TARE
• The scale must be in the GROSS mode: The entire range of
the scale can be Tared. If the motion condition is met the
display temporarily reads “TARE SET” and then converts to
a “NET” display and the weight digits register Ø. All
subsequent readings are deviations from the set Tare value.
Final:
• Tare is set, displaying NET weight.
Any subsequent pushes of the TARE key will display the
Tare value temporarily unless the NET/GROSS key is used
to return to the Gross reading.
