Formulation (Calculation by a Factor)
The formulation program makes it easy to adjust your formulas for different final
quantities of a paint-mixing recipe (for example, to make 250 ml of a 1-liter recipe).
Press the
K
key (6) to select the desired factor. You can choose from the following:
0.5
1.0
1.5
2.0
2.5
3.0
3.5
4.0
4.5
5.0
10.0
15.0
20.0
25.0.
Press the
R
key (18) (up) or
S
key (16) (down)
to modify the factor in in 1.0 steps for factors of 5.0 or more,
in 0.1 steps for factors of 1.0 to 5.0,
or
in 0.01 steps for factors of up to 1.0.
Note:
A flashing arrow
n
on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not valid
in legal metrology (i.e., not legal for trade).
Example:
During formulation, the weight value is display in
g.
Let’s suppose you want to weigh
3 kg of a basic formula that is for a total amount of 1 l. With the recalculation mode,
you do not need to manually recalculate the individual components.
The basic formula for 1 liter is:
250 g
first component
+
250 g
second component
+
500 g
third component
Total: 1000 g
1. Place the empty paint can on the load
plate and tare the scale.
2. Press the
K
key (6) repeatedly to set the
factor to 3 for this example.
