5.0  FUNCTIONS  
5.1 PERCENTAGE WEIGHING  
The  balance  will allow a reference weight to be shown as 100%. Then any other 
weight placed on the balance  will be displayed as a percentage of the original 
sample.   
1)  Place your weight on the balance . 
2)  Press the [%]  key . The weight will be displayed as 100.00%.  
3)  Remov e the weight and place your next sample on the balance . The new 
reading will be shown as a percentage of the first value / reference used.   
4)  Pressing the  [%]  key again will return the  balance to normal weighing. 
Note:  The balance  may jump by large numbers unexpectedly if small weights are 
used to set the 100% level. For example, if only 23.5g is on a balance  with 0.5g 
increments and the  balance is set to 100%, the display will show 100.00%. Ho wever, 
a small change of weight will cause the display to jump to 102.13%, as one balance  
division (0.5g) increase to 24.0g will be equivalent to a 2.13% increase. 
 
5.2  PARTS
 COU NTING  
Parts counting lets you count small parts that are of equal weight,  quickly and easily. 
To do this you must first set your sample by telling the balance  how many parts you 
have.

you the number. As more parts are  added the display will show the total 
number of parts (PCS  –  will be shown in the alpha -numeric display).   
6)  By p ressing the  [Mode]  key you can view the unit weight (W/P ), total weight 
( g ) or the count (PCS ). The total and the unit weight are shown in the current 
weighing  units. 
7)  Press  [Smpl]  to return to normal weighing. 
 
5.3  ACCUMULATION
  
There are two types of accumulations –  automatic and manual.  
Automatic Accumulation Manual Accumulation 
When the balance is set for automatic 
accumulation,  see Parameters 6.3  
Setting the Printer Parameters / 
Accumulation, the weight will be added 
to the memory when the balance  
becomes stable.  
When the balance is set to manual 
accumulation, see Parameters 6.3 
Setting the Printer Parameters / 
Accumulation ,  the weight displayed will 
only be  stored in memory once  the  
[Print]  
key is pressed and the weight is 
stable.   
1) Place the weight on the balance . If automatic then the balance  will 
automatica lly accumulate the weight . If set to manual then you will need to 
press the [Print]  key.  
2)  The display will show ACC  1  followed by the total value in the memory for 2 
seconds before returning to displaying the weight of the item on the  balance.  
3)  The weight will be transmitted  to a printer or PC. 
4)  Remove the weight, allowing the balance  to return to zero.

automatically . If in manual  mode,  press [Print] , the display will show ACC   2  
foll owed by the new total in the memory for 2 seconds before returning to 
displaying the weight of the item on the  balance. 
6)  Continue until all weights have been added.  
To view the totals in memory press the  [Print] key when the balance  is at zero.  The 
display  will show ACC  xx  (where “ xx” is the total number of readings) and the total 
weight, before returning to zero. At the same time the total will also be sent via the 
RS -232 interface.  
To clear the memory, press [Smpl ] once the total accumulation value is di splayed
