6.3 Setting Tare in Operation Mode
This section will describe the different tare-related operations you can perform from the operation mode. Tare
weight can be set by one touch tare using the
TARE key or, if the value is known ahead of time, can be entered
digitally using the digital tare function. Tare addition and subtraction can also be done digitally or by using the
TARE key. Finally, an existing tare stored with an Item code can be overridden with a new one if needed.
Note: The following SPEC codes must be set properly to allow these operations before continuing: SPEC 620 TARE
RANGE SETTINGS sets the limit of the tare range. SPEC 621 DIGITAL TARE and SPEC 622 DIGITAL TARE
ACCUMULATION must be set to “1” to enable these functions. SPEC 623 DIGITAL TARE WHEN LOADED, SPEC 624
TARE SUBTRACTION FOR LOAD TARE ONLY, SPEC 625 TARE ADDITION FOR LOAD TARE ONLY, and SPEC 626 TARE
VALUE EXCHANGE (FOR LOAD TARE) must all be set to “0” to enable these functions.
6.3.1 One Touch Tare
1. While at the stand-by screen, place a bin, box or other weight to be tared out on the platform.
2. Press the TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The net annuciator will light up.
3. If you remove the tare weight from the platform, the tare weight will show in the weight window and the
net annunciator will remain lit.
Note: This tare weight will be overridden by the weight stored with an item code if you call up an item code at this point.
4. To clear this tare weight and return to the operation mode, press the TARE key again. The net annunciator
will not longer be lit.
6.3.2 Digital Tare (When Tare Weight is Known in Advance)
1. While at the stand-by screen, enter the known tare weight by using the numeric keypad.
2. Press the TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The net annunciator will light up and the tare weight will
be displayed in the weight display.
Note: This tare weight will be overridden by the weight stored with an item code if you call up an item code at this point.
3. To clear this tare weight and return to the operation mode, press the TARE key again. The net annunciator
will no longer be lit.
6.3.3 Tare Value Exchange (Tare Addition or Subtraction)
Tare Value Exchange by One Touch Tare
1. While at the stand-by screen, place a tare weight on the platform.
2. Press the TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The net annunciator will light up.
3. Place another tare weight on the platform and press the TARE key again. This will add the two tare
weights together (tare addition). This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
4. Tare weights can be subtracted individually by removing one from the platform and pressing the TARE
key again. To clear all the tare weights and return to the operation mode, remove all the tare weights and
press the TARE key. The net annuciator will no longer be lit.
Tare Exchange by Digital Tare
Note: SPEC 622 DIGITAL TARE ACCUMULATION must be set to “1: YES”.
1. While at the stand-by screen, enter a tare weight using the numeric keypad.
2. Press the TARE key to subtract the tare weight. The net annunciator will light up.
3. Enter the second tare weight using the numeric keypad and press the TA RE key again. This will add the
two tare weights together (tare addition). This process can be repeated as many times as needed.
4. Tare weights can be subtracted individually by entering the tare to be subtracted and pressing the TARE
key again. To clear all the tare weights and return to the operation mode, remove all the tare weights
from the platform and press the
TAR E key. The net annuciator will no longer be lit.
