4.3 Manual Tare
When weighing an item that must be held in a container, taring stores the container weight in memory.
Place the empty container on the scale (example 0.5 kg) and press the TARE button. The display will show
the net weight.
To clear the Tare value, empty the scale and press the TARE button. The display will show the gross weight.
4.4 Pre-Set Tare
A Pre-set Tare (PT) is a known tare value entered using the xT command (example 1.234 kg).
The display will show the Pre-set Tare as a negative value, with the PT Indicator on.
NOTES: 1. The PT value will supersede any other Tare or PT value in memory.
2. When using Pre-Set Tare, make sure that Auto-Tare function is set off in the Setup menu.
3. If the Tare entry includes digits beyond the readability of the Indicator, the tare value is rounded off
to the readability of the Indicator.
To clear a Pre-set Tare value, empty the scale then press the TARE button. The display will show the Gross
weight.
4.5 Auto-Tare
Auto-Tare automatically tares the initial weight (such as a container) placed on the empty scale, without
having to press the TARE button. The tare value is cleared automatically when the weight on the scale is fully
removed.
During Checkweighing operation, if the On Accept setting is selected in the Setup menu, weight values that are
within the accept range will be tared automatically.
NOTE: Auto-Tare supersedes any pre-set (PT) value in memory.
