1. Press the FUNCTION switch (or MODE and
RANGE switches simultaneously for dual
range models).
Display cycles repeatedly through PCS, HI-OK-LO, CAL1, CAL2,
T
,
and CAL 100.
2. Press the MODE switch when
T
appears in the
display.
T
appears in the display and you are now in the time averaging
weighing mode.
3. Place a container/cage on the pan.
T
appears in the display as well as a slowly increasing weight of the
container/cage.
4. Press the ZERO switch to zero out the
container/cage weight.
T
appears in the display as well as zeros.
5. Remove the container/cage and place the
sample/animal in the container/cage.
A slowly decreasing negative weight is displayed.
6. Replace the container/cage with the enclosed
sample/animal on the weighing pan.
After the sample/caged animal is placed on the pan, the weight
reading will slowly stop decreasing and then slowly start increasing as
the weight reading is averaged over time. When the weight stops
drifting upward, you have reached the final time averaged weight
reading.
7. If you want to reach the final time averaged
weight reading more quickly, press the
FUNCTION switch (or the RANGE switch on
dual range models). This resets the time
averaging mode.
The final time averaged weight reading is reached more quickly.
8. If you want to exit the time averaging weighing
mode, press the MODE switch.
You are now in the weighing mode you used just before selecting the
time averaging mode.
(CAL 100) PERCENT WEIGHING
1. Place an empty container on the weighing pan
and press the ZERO switch.
Zeros are displayed.
2. Place the sample which represents 100% in the
weighing container.
Display indicates the weight of the sample in the unit of measure you
have selected.
3. Press the FUNCTION switch (or MODE and
RANGE switches simultaneously for dual
range models).
Display cycles repeatedly through PCS, HI-OK-LO, CAL1, CAL2,
T
,
and CAL 100.
4. Press the MODE switch when CAL 100
appears on the display.
Display will indicate CAL and 100.00. This means that the weight on
the pan now represents 100.00%. You are now in the percent
weighing mode with all weight readings displayed as a percent of the
weight of the sample used in Step 2.
5. If you want to exit the percent weighing mode,
press the MODE switch.
You are now in the weighing mode you used just before selecting
percent weighing.
FLOATING TARE™ (dual range models only)
Floating tare is only active when the balance is in LO range. Floating tare yields low range resolution throughout the entire high
range capacity of the balance. A typical example using floating tare would be where you combine different components by
weight to produce compounds. The procedure is as follows.
1. Select LO range by pressing the RANGE switch until LO briefly appears in the display.
2. Place container on weighing pan. If the container weight exceeds LO range capacity, OL is displayed. If the container
weight does not exceed the LO range capacity, the container weight is displayed.
3. Press ZERO switch. Display returns to zeros and LO range.
4. Add first component until target weight is reached. Then press ZERO.
5. Add second component until target weight is reached. Then press ZERO.
6. Continue until all components have been added.
Floating tare allows you to enter the LO range from anywhere within the full capacity range of the balance. This feature is
particularly useful when adding small amounts to large tare loads and compounding where weights are accumulated. Floating
tare is only active when the balance is in LO range. Pressing the ZERO switch returns the display to zeros in LO range. While
you are using the floating tare feature, it is easy to lose track on how much capacity has been used. The Capacity Tracking
feature is a helpful tool. Please see the following discussion.
