We have come to the end of our example. According to the display, exactly 1,000 g was
poured in, but the paint can actually contains only 250 g by weight according to the factor
you selected, .25. Follow the same procedure for any other conversion factor or to convert
a 1-gallon formula into quarts.
Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode
Let’s suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula
(e.g., one consisting of 4 components).
In addition, let’s assume that you previously poured in all of the other amounts exactly
according to each of the values you entered and stored by pressing the
L
key [MEM] (9).
Press the
S
key (4) to start the recalculation program. “C” will begin flashing on the display.
To correct the weight displayed to the same value you entered for the given formula, either
scroll upwards using the
R
key (3), or downwards using the
S
key (4). When you then press
the
L
key [MEM] (9), the scale will automatically calculate and display the amounts of paint
in “g” to add for each of the other components that you already poured in. This mode thus
ensures that the total result of your formula for these components will be correct.
After pouring in these amounts, you can continue to add the remaining components of your
formula.
Important Note:
You can correct an incorrect amount any number of times. However, the total (liter) quantity
in the paint can will increase each time you correct a component. Therefore, press the
c
key
(8) to check how much the total quantity (in liters) will be. (“C” = correction factor)
The arrow
n
in the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use in legal
metrology (not legal for trade).

3. “.25” is displayed next to the weight
4. Slowly pour in the first component, “250 g” until
the display shows “250 g.”
5. Pour in the second component, “
250 g
” until the
display shows “
500 g
.”
6. Pour in the last component, “500 g” until “
1000 g
”
is displayed.
