Parts counting operation:
To activate the parts counting software of the Micro 4000 spec setting 2 must be on.
The parts counting software of the Micro 4000 has been written to enable the user to count units easily and accurately. The Micro 4000 will not enter the counting mode if a Preset tare is in use only the Semi-auto tare is available for counting purposes.
As with all counting scales, it is important to obtain an accurate sample, especially if the sample is very small, therefore before any sample is taken make sure that the display is at true zero (zero lamp on). A container can be placed on the weighing platform and tared off using the semi-auto tare if required.
Please note: If there is a delay of longer than approx 4 seconds between any consecutive key entry when entering the sample then the the Micro 4000 will automatically revert back to normal weighing mode.
Entering a sample:
With the Micro 4000 in normal weighing mode place your sample on the weighing platform and the press the "F1" function key. (The display will show "Pc=___" ). Enter the number of units on the weighing platform (Max 999) and press the "Enter" key. The display will start to flash at which time the Micro 4000 is calculating the unit weight and the weighing platform should not be disturbed during this period. After approx 3 seconds the display will show the count in the display with a small "c" on the left hand side of the display to indicate that the Micro 4000 is in the counting mode. To exit the counting mode or to take another sample press the "Clear" key and the Micro 4000 will revert back to normal weighing mode.
A negative count is indicated by the letter "E" on the left hand side of the display. The "Zero" and "Semi-auto" tare keys have the same function as in the normal weighing mode. If a printer is in use and the Micro 4000 is in the counting mode then the following information will be printed.
