Weighing with limit values
You can define an upper and a lower limit value and thereby ensure that the amount of substance weighed
is always exactly within the defined tolerances.
Note: Limit-value monitoring is switched off at the factory and must be activated in the menu if required
(Chapter 4.2, menu item S3). You can also specify in the menu whether the balance should warn of
violations of limit values.

• Place the empty weighing container or packaging component on
the weighing pan and press the b key to tare the scale. The zero
display appears and the LED above the NET (net weight) symbol
is lit.
• Place the item to be weighed on the scale and read the result (net
weight of the item being weighed).
The saved tare weight is retained until you either define a new tare, or
press the b key when the weighing pan is empty, or switch off the
scale.
Defining limit values
• Press the F key. The current upper limit value is displayed (the LED
above the OVER symbol is lit). If you want to set an upper limit
value, continue with the next step. If you want to set a lower limit
value, press the c key and the LED above the UNDER symbol will
be lit. Every time the c is pressed, the scale changes between the
upper and the lower limit value.
• The first digit of the selected limit value flashes and can now be
changed. If you do not want to change the first digit, press the Z
key and the second digit will start to flash. Each time the Z key
is pressed, the display moves to the next digit. After the last digit the
display returns to the first digit.
• To change the selected (flashing) digit, press the J key re-
peatedly until the desired number is displayed. Then press the Z
key to move to the next digit and change this digit.
• To complete the input, press the a key. The scale stores the limit
value and returns to weighing mode.
