Tare Weighing
If you want to do net weighing, such as weighing objects in a container, follow these
steps.
1. Turn the balance on. The balance will go through a series of tests and then
display all zeros (0's).
2. Press the Unit key until the desired unit of measure is displayed on the far right
of the display.
3. Place the container to be tared on the weighing platform and press the Tare key.
The display should return to zero.
4. Place item(s) to be weighed in the container. The weight will be displayed with
the appropriate unit of measure next to it. The weight displayed is the net weight
and does not include the weight of the container.
5. Remove the item(s) from the container and repeat steps 3 - 5 to continue
weighing with the same container.
If you remove the container, the balance will show a negative weight. Press the Tare
key to return the balance to zero.
General Counting Function
The MBS series will count parts based on the weight of a reference sample of 5, 10,
20, 30, 40 or 50 pieces. For best results, the pieces used should be of equal weight.
Also, the larger the sample, the more accurate your counts will be. Once you have
created this reference sample, it will remain in memory until a new sample is recorded,
even when the balance if turned off. This section explains the counting function in
further detail.
1. Turn the balance on and allow it to come to zero.
2. Press the Count button. The balance will display "CON pcs".
If you are using a container to hold the pieces, place the empty container on the
weighing platform at this point.
3. Press Tare. The balance will display the message "Add 5".
