• Tare: To subtract the weight of a container or platform, place the empty container on the weigh bars and press the TARE button. The display will show '0.0', and subsequent items placed in the container will show their net weight.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Clean the weigh bars and indicator regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components. Ensure no moisture enters the indicator or cable connections.

6.2 Calibration

While the system is factory-calibrated, periodic calibration may be necessary to maintain accuracy, especially after relocation or prolonged use. Calibration should be performed using certified test weights. Refer to the SL-7516-B indicator manual for specific calibration procedures.
