5.1.3 USE
Switch on the equipment when all the parameters have been correctly configured and the equipment has been calibrated

• Make sure than the value of the indicator, without load on the platform, is 0. If this is not the case, press.
• Place the weight on the platform and the platform will show the weight.
• The accumulation and sending of data will depend on the mode chosen in the section UF-6

5.2 PIECE COUNTING MODE
5.2.1 CONFIGURATION OF THE EQUIPMENT
See section LF2 of the technical parameters
5.2.2 FIRST CALIBRATION
See section LF1 of the technical parameters
5.2.3 USE
Switch on the equipment when all the parameters have been correctly configured. Make sure that the value on the visor, with no load on the platform, is 0. If this is not the case press the key .
STEPS TO FOLLOW;

1. Press the key until the symbol PCS appears on the screen.
2. Press the key successively to choose the quantity of pieces of the sample. On the screen will appear, successively, C10/C20/ C50/C100/C200.
3. Place the sample on the platform, and wait until the sign of stability and press the key .
4. Place the product on the platform and the screen will show the number of pieces.

The accumulation and the sending of data will depend on the mode chosen in the section UF-6.

• To turn to the normal weighing mode, press the key
• If the user wants to go back to the piece counting mode, using the same sample of reference, press the key again.
• If the user want to change the sample of reference, the user must repeat the steps described above.

5.3 LIMITS AND ALARM
The user can configure the superior and inferior limits of the sample placed on the platform.
The display will show if the sample is lower to the inferior limit Lo, above the superior limit Hi or in the zone between the two limits OK The user can configure when he wants to make the alarm ring and the stability needed to make it happen.
All the procedure is described in the section UF-2.
If the user wants to define the limits in the normal weighing mode and wants to use the limits in piece counting mode, he must define the new limits for this mode, when it changes to weight mode again, the user will recover the limits he already has. The same  happens otherwise.
5.4 UNIT RANGE / MULTI-RANGE / MULTI-INTERVAL
The indicator can be configured with an only range, a maximum weight and a value of step. It can also be configured as multi range or multi interval, in such cases there is a maximum weight.
From 0 to the medium weight of these maximum weight it is used the value of the chosen step ( step 1) and from the half to the maximum weight it is used the next value in the step ( step 2).
The screen indicators R1 and R2 point out the range which the user is using at every moment.
In the multi interval mode the weight increases, in the range use it used step 1, when the user goes to range 2 the step 2 is used.
When the weight decreases and the user go back to range 1, the step 1 is used again. On the contrary, in mode multi range, when the weight decreases and the device go back to range 1, the device continues using step 2 until it reaches 0.
In the section LF2 of the technical parameters the user can choose the range mode.
