Weighing samples with container (tare)
When weighing samples placed on a container (tare), the weight of the container must be subtracted from
the total weight to get the actual weight of the object to be weighed. This is called “tare subtraction” or
“tare”.
1
Place a container on the weighing pan.
- Place a container on the weighing
pan.
The weight of the container is
displayed.
2
Perform tare subtraction.
- Press [Tare] key.
The indication changes to zero and
the
<
> symbol lights.
3
Check the tare weight.
The tare weight can be checked by
operating “Free keys” if the <TARE> is
assigned to the Free key. (cf. “8
Controlling and adjustment functions”)
- Press [1]-[3] key on which <TARE> is
displayed above.
The tare weight is displayed on the
display, then press [4] <
> key to
return to the measuring mode.
4
Put the sample on the tare.
The net weight of the sample is
displayed.
5
Clear the tare weight data.
- Remove the sample and tare on the
weighing pan, then press [Zero] key.
Therefore, the indication becomes
zero and
<
> indication disappears.
(1) Performing the tare narrows the weighing range as much as the amount
of the tare weight mass (tare weight).
Weighable range = weighing capacity - tare weight
(2) Stability waiting during the tare can be set using the Setting menu <17 WT STABLE>.
The setting of <17 WT STABLE> is not changeable and the scale always wait stability
during the tare weight subtraction.
(3) When using a tare whose tare weight is already known, the tare can be performed in advance by
inputting its tare weight (preset tare). For its setting method, refer to “5 Preset tare and Comparator
setting”.
(4) When turning on the power placing a tare that exceeds the initial zero adjustment range at the time
of power supply, tare subtraction is executed.
This operation is not valid.
(5) Tare weight can be output at “Step 3 Check the tare weight” by pressing [Output] key.
Check “External input/output functions” to refer the output setting.
