10.4.1  Parts Counting 
This allows the user to weigh a sample of parts to compute an average unit weight and 
then determine the number of items being weighed by dividing the net weight by the unit 
weight value.  The result is always a whole number of parts. 
 
The balance will have a pre-set number of parts to be used as a sample. These values are 
10, 25 , 50  or  100  items. 
 
Press  [Mode]  and cycle through the available options until “
PARTS
PARTSPARTS PARTS” is displayed. Now enter 
parts counting mode by pressing  [Select]. 
 
Press the  [Up] or [Down]  key to select the sample size, “ SP
S
 PSP
SP
    XX PCS” (where XX= 10, 25 , 
50 , 100 ) then press  [Select] to confirm. 
 
When “ Ld
L
 dLd
Ld
   XX PCS” is shown, place XX number of items on the pan and press  [Select] to 
compute the average piece weight. Display will indicate the total reference weight in the 
last selected unit, and then show “XX 
PCS” sounding a beep. 
The “Parts” symbol will still be shown at the top of the display to indicate that the balance is 
in the parts counting mode. 
 
Remove the sample and display will show “ 0
0

0
0
 PCS”.  
 
Place an unknown quantity of parts on the pan. The balance will then compute the number 
of parts based on the average piece weight. The display will show the result in number of 
pieces. This will be an integer value in the format “XX 
PCS”. Pressing the  [Unit] key will 
cycle the display between piece weight, current total weight, and current number of pieces 
on the pan. 
 
The  [Print]  key is lit, indicating that print output to a connected device is available. Print 
output will be “ XX pcs” (where XX is the quantity of pieces currently on the pan) or “ Unit 
wt :       XX.X g ” or “Total wt : :       XX.X g ” depending on whether quantity,  piece weight 
or total weight is being displayed on screen. 
 
To count another item of a different weight, press  [Mode] and continue as before. 
 
Checks will be made to determine that the weight of the reference parts is large enough for 
reasonably accurate counting (the weight of each piece must be > 1 division of the 
balance). 
 
To return to normal weighing from parts counting mode, press  [Mode] followed by one of 
the  [
 0/T ] 
keys.

10.4.3 Check Weighing 
 
During weighing of a sample the balance can be set to show if the weight is above or below 
an upper and a lower limit.  The display will use the arrows under the bar graph to show that 
check weighing is operating.   The bars between the arrows will indicate when the weight is 
below the lower limit, between the limits or above the upper limit. 
  
 
The buzzer can be set to be active when the weight is outside the limits (below the lower or 
above the upper) or within the limits (above the lower and below the upper limit), or turned 
off.    If  desired,  only  one  limit  needs  to  be  set.  If  only  one  limit  is  set  the  other  limit  is 
considered to be zero (lower) or the maximum (upper). 
 
The Check Weighing function is not active when the loaded weight is less than 20 weighing 
divisions.  This  is  the  minimum  weight  at  which  the  indicator  bars  are  displayed  and  the 
buzzer sounds (if it is not set to OFF). 
 
Check Weighing Set-up Steps: 
  
·  Press  [Mode]  and  then  the  [Up]  or [Down]   key  to  select  Check  Weighing.    When 
“CHECK

·  Press  [Up] or [Down]  to set the “LOW LIMIT” to “On” or “OFF” 
 
·  Press  [Select] to proceed.  If the “LOW LIMIT” was set to “On”, the display will show 
the current low limit in the unit last used in the weighing mode. You may change the 
limit using the numeric entry method (see section  8.1).  
 
·  Press  [Select] to proceed. 
NOTE:   Low  limit  must  be  20  weighing  divisions  or  higher.  If  a  value  below  this  is 
selected  then 
‘ERR\bR
ERR\bRERR\bR ERR\bR L\bWW
 L\bWW L\bWW
 L\bWW ’ will  be  displayed  followed  by  returning  to  the  previous 
value. Re-enter a valid selection. 
 
·  If the “LOW LIMIT” was set to “OFF” or the setting of the low limit is complete, then the  display  will  change  to  “HIGH  LIMIT”.  Use  [Up]  and  [Down]   to  set  the  “HIGH 
LIMIT” to “On” or “OFF”.  
 
·  Press [Select]  to proceed. 
 
·  If the “HIGH LIMIT” was set to “On”, the display will show the current high limit in the last  selected  unit.  You  may  change  the  limit  using  the  numeric  entry  method  (see 
section  8.1). 
 
·  Press  [Select] to proceed. 
NOTE:  High limit must be higher than the low limit already set, and must be less than 
the maximum capacity of the balance. If an incorrect value   is entered then

10.4.4  Animal (Dynamic) Weighing 
The balance can be set to weigh animals or unstable/moving items. This is commonly 
referred to as ‘Animal’ or ‘Dynamic’ weighing mode. The balance will collect the weight 
over a period of time to arrive at an average value and display the value until the operator 
resets the balance. The actual weighing process can begin either automatically when the 
weight is placed on the pan, or when initiated by the operator. The weighing unit can be 
selected as normal using the [Unit] and [Select]  keys, before starting the dynamic 
weighing process.
