SCOUT PRO EN-14 Parts Counting Two types of counting modes are available, standard or enhanced. (See page 17 for details) Exiting the .U.N.I.T. Menu Use the same procedure as Exiting the .S.E.T.U.P. Menu. Calibration Span Calibration Span calibration uses two calibration points, zero and a specified calibration weight.
SCOUT PRO EN-15 Span Calibration (Cont.) (Remove mass) Linearity Calibration Linearity calibration uses three calibration points; zero, mid-scale and full scale. Lin Cal must be selected and set to YES in the .S.E.T.U.P. Menu. Before beginning calibration, make sure the menu Lock Switch is off. Clear the platform.
SCOUT PRO EN-16 Applications Scout Pro applications include: Weighing, Parts Counting, Percent Weighing, Display Hold, Totalize and Specific Gravity. Weighing Start with the balance on. (Place sample on platform) (Rezero the display) (Example 50g) (Stable reading) Weighing with Tare Taring zeros the container weight. With the balance on, place an empty container on the platform.

SCOUT PRO EN-17 Parts Counting Parts Counting is enabled only when PC is turned ON in the .U.N.I.T. menu. In parts counting mode, there are two modes of parts counting, normal and enhanced. In normal parts counting, the balance determines the quantity based on the average weight of the parts in the original reference quanitity.
SCOUT PRO EN-18 Parts Counting (Cont.) To count different parts, press and hold, until PC reappears, release Unit button. Percent Weighing Percent Weighing is enabled only when Percent is turned ON in the .U.N.I.T. menu. Percent weighing permits placing a reference weight on the balance, then viewing other loads as a percentage of the reference.
SCOUT PRO EN-19 Establishing a New Reference Weight Press and hold until % on the display reappears, then release. Repeat above procedure for new a reference weight. Exiting Percent Weighing Press and hold until desired unit is displayed. Display-Hold Display-Hold is enabled only when Hold is turned ON in the Mode submenu in the .S.E.T.U.P.
SCOUT PRO EN-20 Exiting Display Hold To return to display hold, repeat above procedure. Totalize Totalize is enabled only when Total is turned ON in the Mode submenu in the .S.E.T.U.P. menu. Totalize allows storage of a series of weight measurements. Totalize mode has been initiated when “t”...
SCOUT PRO EN-21 Clear/Exit Totalize Performing this next step will erase all totalized memory. Specific Gravity with Accessory Kit Specific gravity is enabled only when SPEC.Gr is turned ON in the Mode submenu in the .S.E.T.U.P. menu. The Specific Gravity mode allows calculating the specific gravity of a sample.
Additional Features Weigh Below Scout Pro permits below balance weighing for applications such as specific gravity/ density determination. The balance is normally elevated, supported on all feet and leveled. A fine wire is attached to the built-in hook at the bottom of the balance (see illustration).
SCOUT PRO EN-23 Lock Switch The Lock Switch is used to lock out the menu mode preventing unauthorized changes. To lock the menus, position the Lock Switch next to the tab on the bottom of the balance as shown. Unlocked...
