ADDITIONAL OPERATIONS Use the Units Menu to activate Parts Counting or Percent Weighing. (See back page.) To enable Display Hold, Totalize and Specific Gravity, use the Setup/Mode submenu. Parts Counting has two modes: (See Instruction Manual for more details.) Normal: balance determines quantity based on average weight of parts in original reference quantity. Enhanced: additional parts can be added to the platform ( ≤ the original number). The additional reference quantity produces a more accurate average part weight. Percent Weighing: place a reference weight on the balance, then view other loads as a percentage of the reference. The reference weight equals100%. Display-Hold mode captures and stores the highest stable value. When displayed, the stability indicator blinks. Note: Units cannot be changed when in Display-Hold mode. Totalize allows storage of a series of weight measurements. Totalize mode has been initiated when “t” and the current unit are displayed together. When totalized weight is shown, the “t” indicator blinks. Note: Units cannot be changed when in Totalize mode. The Specific Gravity mode allows calculating the specific gravity of a sample. (SPEC.GR mode must be turned ON before removing platform and installing hook.)
