Introduction 1

1.0 Introduction

This is a precision instrument equipped with exacting mechanisms in a compact body.

The TP Series provides enhanced functions, including a counting mode for stock

control of parts, a percentage mode for comparative measurements given in

percentages, and a limit function for measuring constant quantities by consecutive

weighings. Despite its many functions, the balance is easy to operate and features

user-friendly keys. Furthermore, the large liquid-crystal display provides excellent

visibility, and the instrument’s high speed and stability (intrinsic to a tuning fork

design) help boost operational efficiency.

Moreover, balances with a built-in calibration weight can be calibrated by simply

turning the calibration knob.

2.0 Installation

The following section contains information regarding the installation of the TP Series

balance.

2.1 Setup and Checking of Functions

1. Invoking the Function: press and hold down the Function Key until the

indicator displays “,” then release the key. The function setup mode is

activated and the first item, [ (Bar graph) 1] appears.

Figure 2-1. Invoking the Function

2. Selecting the next item: press the Function Key. The

indication changes to the next item, [ (Limit

function)].

3. Selecting an item: pressing the Function key advances

the function items at the rate of one item per press.

4. Changing the content of an item: select the item to be changed with the

Function key. Each press of the Zero/Tare key changes the last digit. Select

the desired digit.
