Since mass and weight are different measurements, your instrument must be compen-

sated for local gravitational effects in order to determine mass. This calibration should

be performed prior to initial use and on a regular basis thereafter. Refer to Appendix II,

“Calibration.” Further references to weight in this manual may be assumed to be

interchangeable with mass if calibration has been performed.

WEIGHING WITH THE TARE FUNCTION

You can use your balance to weigh objects (or liquids) by placing or pouring them into

a container. To weigh objects or liquids in this manner, WITHOUT including the weight

of the container, use the TARE function. This function subtracts out and stores the tare

or container weight before you begin weighing. To do this, use the following procedure:

1. Place the empty container on the pan.

2. Press the tare key.

3. Place or pour objects or liquids into the container.

4. Wait for the “OK” symbol, then read the net weight from the display.

ENTERING A TARE WEIGHT

To find the weight of the contents of a container when the container weight is known,

follow this procedure:

1. Press tare.

2. Place the object or liquid and the container to be weighed on the pan.

3. Enter the container weight.

4. Press tare.

5. Wait for the “OK” symbol. The display reads net (contents) weight.

FILLING TO A TARGET WEIGHT

The int key is factory pre-set to provide a rapid display update for filling operations. (If

your balance does not provide a rapid update when in the INT mode, refer to Appendix

I, Set-Up Functions, to alter the INT key functionality.)

1. Press the int key. The INT symbol will be displayed.

2. Place a container on the pan and press tare.

3. Pour to the targeted weight.

4. Return to the normal weighing mode by repressing int.
