OPERATION: How to make a weight determination or tare the balance
In PE balances, the readability is the same throughout the entire weighing range.
Automatic rounding of the last digit increases the accuracy of your PE balance even more.
Taring means that the display is reset to zero while a weight (such as a container) is on the weighing pan.
This way, the balance will automatically subtract the weight of the container from the total weight when an object or substance is weighed in. In that case, the
balance only displays the weight of the weighed-in object.
However, the combined weight of container and the object may not exceed the overall weighing range.
Weighing
– Briefly press down single control bar (15) to
set the display to zero.
– Place weighing object on pan.
– Read weight display.
If the weighing range is exceeded, the display is
blanked out except for the upper horizontal segments
of the numbers. The balance thus indicates that it is
overloaded.

Display accuracy (result rounding)
Your balance always measures one more decimal
place than it actually displays. This last, invisible
digit is then rounded off according to the 4/5 principle.
Example:
The balance measures
94.314 g,
but displays
94.31 g
or
the balance measures
94.315 g,
but displays
94.32 g.
Taring
– Place container on weighing pan: balance will
indicate its weight.
– Briefly press down single control bar (15),
thus taring the balance: display now indicates
zero.
The entire weighing range (minus the weight of the
container) is now available for weighing in.
If DeltaDisplay is switched on (see next page), and
if the balance is tared before achieving stability, the
entire display is blanked out until stability is reached;
only then will zero appear.
