When the container is removed a negative value will be shown If the scale was tared just before removing the container this value is the gross weight of the container plus all products those were removed The zero indicator will also be ON because the platform is back to the same condition as it was when the Tare Zero key was last pressed Second method of entering a tare value This method allows you to enter a value for the tare weight from the keypad This is useful if all containers are the same or if the container is already full but the net weight is required and the weight of the container is known Remove all weights from the platform press the Tare Zero key to zero the display Enter the value for the Tare weight including decimal point using the keypad press Tare Zero to store the tare value The weight will show a negative value equal to the tare Place the container on the platform The display will then show the weight of the container minus the tare weight When the full container is placed on the platform the tare value will be subtracted from the gross weight displaying only the net weight of the contents If the value input is not consistent with the increment of the scale the scale will round the tare value to the nearest value possible For example if a tare value of 103g is entered into the 60Kg scale with 5g readability then the display will show 105g The tare value for each scale is held in memory so
