When the sample is Platinum mixed with an alloy the user needs to select the option
that describes the alloy used. If the alloy is Nickel (Ni), Palladium (PA) or Nickel plus
Palladium in a 1:1 ratio (Ni:PA 1-1) select the option shown and press [Tare] to store
the selection. The display will return to show Alloy. Press [Unit/Clr] to return to
weighing or select the Liquid setting as above.
If the alloys are in another known ratio of Nickel plus Palladium (Ni:PA M-N), or the
alloy is another metal of known density (Define den) then following pressing [Tare]
the display will show the current value stored for each option. To set the ratio or
density use the [Air/Liquid] or [Density] keys to change the flashing digit, and the
[Hold/Print] key to move the flashing digit to the right. Once the value is set, press
the [Tare] key to store the value. The display will return to show Alloy. Press
[Unit/Clr] to return to weighing whereupon you are now ready to proceed as
section 5 to perform density testing.
If Silver (Ag) has been selected for the alloy to test the balance will compute the
density based on the weight values recorded. There are no options for setting the
composition of the silver, only the density will be shown.
