5-2 Counting Mode (PCS)
This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample based on the standard sample unit mass. Unit mass means the mass of one sample. The smaller the variables in each sample unit mass are, the more accurate the counting will be. The
Note
If the sample unit mass variable is too large, it may cause a counting error.
Selecting the counting mode
1 Press the MODE key to select 1pcs (counting mode).
Storing a sample unit mass
2 Press the SAMPLE key to enter the sample unit mass storing mode.
Even in the storing mode, pressing the MODE key will switch to the next mode.
3 To select the number of samples, press the SAMPLE key several times. It may be set to 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100.
Note
A greater number of samples will yield more accurate counting result.
4 Place a container on the weighing pan, if necessary. Press the
e.g.: 25 0 is displayed if 25 is selected in step 3.
5 Place the number of samples specified on the pan. In this example, 25 pieces.
6 Wait for the stabilization indicator to come on. Press the PRINT key to calculate and store the unit mass. The
balance displays 25 pcs (counting mode) and is set to count samples with this unit mass. (The sample unit mass stored, even if the AC adapter is removed, is maintained in
To improve the accuracy of the unit mass, proceed to step 8.
Notes
If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light and is not adequate to be used as the unit mass, it
displays lo . In that case, store the mass by some quantity. For example, when the model with the minimum weighing value of 0.01 g is used and 10 pieces of samples weigh 0.05 g. Store 100 pieces of samples as 10 and multiply the weighing result by 10.
