13. PERCENT MODE (Pct)
This is the mode to display the weight value in percentage compared to a 100% reference mass and
is used for target weighing or checking the sample variable.
Selecting the percent mode
1 Set “Unit selection ( Unit )” parameter of the function table to pct (percent mode). For
details, refer to “5-2 Changing the Unit”.
Storing the 100% reference mass
2 Press the SAMPLE key to enter the 100% reference mass
storing mode.
To return to the percent mode without storing the 100%
reference mass, press the CAL key.
3 Place a container on the weighing pan, if necessary. Press
the RE-ZERO key to cancel the weight (tare). The balance
displays 100 0 pct .
4 Place the sample to be set as the 100% reference mass
on the pan or in the container.
5 Wait for the stabilization indicator to be displayed. Press
the PRINT key to store the reference mass. The balance
displays 100.00 pct . (The reference mass stored, even if
the AC adapter is removed, is maintained in non-volatile
memory.)
Notes
If the balance judges that the mass of the sample is too light to be
used as a reference, it displays lo . Do not use the sample.
The decimal point position depends on the 100% reference mass.
100% reference mass Minimum weighing value
0.0100 g to 0.0999 g 1%
0.1000 g to 0.9999 g 0.1%
1.0000 g or greater 0.01%
6 Remove the sample.
Reading the percentage
7 Place a sample to be compared to the reference mass on the pan. The displayed percentage is
based on the 100% reference mass.
While the stabilization indicator is on, pressing the PRINT key will output the weight value,
using the RS-232C serial interface.
Note
Peripheral equipment, that is sold separately, such as a printer or a personal computer
is required.
