1. INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how this scale works and how to get the most out of it in terms of performance.

FG series platform scales have the following features:

□ The FG series has three kinds of weight display resolution, 1/3,000, 1/6,000

(1/7,500) and 1/12,000 (1/15,000).

□ There are 2 sizes of weighing pan. The FG-KAL has a iarger pan and the FG-

KAM/KBM has a smaller pan. The FG-KAL/KAM has a display column and the FGKBM is a without column model. You can select a model that suits your own application.

□ As power source, you can use an AC adapter or C size dry batteries.

□ The counting function easily counts the number of articles of the same weight. □ The comparator function compares the display value with upper limit and lower limit.

The display shows the result and the optional FG-24 can output it as a relay signal.

□ The optional FG-23 and FG-24 has an RS-232C interface and can output the

weighing data to connect with a printer, computer and so on.

2. UNPACKING

When unpacking, check whether all of the following items are included:

Please confirm that the AC adapter type is correct for your local voltage and receptacle type.

3. Tilt the display pod by pressing in on the two round side clamps.

Page 9

Cautions for installing the scale

Consider the following conditions to get the most out of your scale. □ Install the scale where the temperature and relative humidity is stable. There is no

draft and a stable power source is available, □ Install the scale on a solid and level surface. □ Do not install the scale in direct sunlight. □ Do not install the scale near heaters or air conditioners. □ Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present. □ Do not install the scale near equipment which produces magnetic fields. □ Do not install the scale where there is apt to be static electricity, in a place where

the relative humidity is lower than ,45% RH. Plastic and isolators are apt to be charged with static electricity.

□ Do not use an unstable power source. □ When the scale is installed for the first time, or the scale has been moved, carry out

calibration as described in “8. CALIBRATION”.

4-3. Power source

For the power source, the AC adapter or C size dry cells can be used.

When using the AC adapter

Use a stable power source. To use the AC adapter, insert the AC adapter plug into the

AC adapter jack on the rear side of display pod.

A\ O Confirm the AC adapter type is correct for your locai voitage.

When using the batteries

Prepare 4 x C size (R14P/LR14) dry batteries. The batteries are not included in the product. The scale can be used continuously for about 150 hours using the alkaline batteries.

1. Turn of the scale and disconnect the AC adapter if used.

2. Slide the battery cover off

3. Push the battery case inside the display pod and take it out.

4. Insert four new dry cells into the battery case.

5. Push the battery case into the display pod as before.

6. Attach the battery cover.

A\ O Take great care of the polarity of batteries. The polarity marks are

shown in the battery case.

O Replace used batteries with four new ones when “L bO” is displayed. O Do not mix used and new batteries, it may cause damage to the

battery or product, if used.

O Do not mix the battery type, it may cause damage to the battery or

product.

O The battery life depends on the ambient temperature. O Remove batteries from display pod when the scale is not to be used

for a long time. They may leak and cause damage.

O Damage due to battery leakage is not covered by the warranty.

Page 10

6. Remove the object from the weighing pan.

□ The RE-ZERO

weighing capacity (kg) around the power-on zero point. The ZERO indicator ? turns on. When the weight exceeds +2% of the weighing capacity (kg), it will be subtracted to zero as a tare weight, in this case the ZERO and NET indicators turn on.

□ The ZERO

capacity (kg) around the power-on zero point. The ZERO indicator ? turns on. When the weight exceeds ±2% of the weighing capacity (kg), the switch does not work.

□ The TARE switch will subtract the weight to zero as a tare weight when the

weight is a plus value.

Precautions during operation

□ E/iake sure that the STABLE indicator is on whenever reading or storing a

value. □ Do not press switches with a sharp implement such as a pencil. □ Do not apply a shock load to the scale. □ Do not place a load onto the pan that exceeds the capacity.

□ Keep the scale free from foreign objects such as dust or liquid.

□ Calibrate the scale periodically to keep weighing accuracy.

(See “8. CALIBRATION”.)

5-4. Weight display resolution

The FG series has three kinds of weight dispiay resolution, NORMAL, HIGH and HIGHER. The following is about “kg" and “lb” display for reference. See the “12. SPECIFICATIONS” in detail.

NORMAL; 1/3,000 HIGH: 1/6,000 ~ 1/7,500 (depending on capacity) HIGHER: 1/12,000 ~ 1/15,000 (depending on capacity)

The factory setting is the HIGH resolution, but it is possible to change by Function settings “F2”. Set this function according to the application.

□ In some countries, the resolution will be limited NORMAL only, and the setting F2 is

not available.

□ In the COUNTING mode, the scale works as in the HIGHER resolution regardless

of weight display resolution.

Page 11

6. COUNTING MODE

7. COMPARATOR

The results of the comparison are indicated by HI, OK or LO on the display. The formula to compare is as follows;

LO < Lower limit value = OK = Upper limit value < HI

Operating conditions (see the ‘‘Function list F6”):

F6-0: No comparison (comparator function disabled). F6-1: To compare all data. F6-2: To compare more than +4d or less than -4d. F6-3: To compare all stable data. F6-4: To compare stable data more than +4d or less than -4d. F6-5: To compare stable data more than +4d. d = minimum weight display (see “12-1 Specifications”) In case of counting mode, “d” is equal to minimum weight display of kg mode.

□ The upper limit and lower limit numerical values are common to each of the

weighing and counting mode.

□ Ignore the decimal point of setting value to apply it to each mode.

Example of FG30K / setting value is “001000”.

Display mode NORMAL resolution kq 10.00 kq HIGH resolution kq 1.000 kg 30.000 kq X 0.005 kg HIGHER resolution kg 1.000 kg 30.000 kg X 0.002 kg NORMAL resolution lb 10.00 lb 60.00 kg X 0.02 lb HIGH resolution lb HIGHER resolution lb Counting mode

The value set in step 5 is cleared after the power is switched off.

If the scale will suppose to move to another location, set the gravity acceleration value for the current location and calibrate the scale according to the procedure above. See the next section to set the value.

8-2. Gravity acceleration correction

When the scale is first used or has been moved to different place, it should be calibrated using a calibration weight. But if a calibration weight is not available, the gravity acceleration correction will compensate the scale. Change the gravity acceleration value of the scale to the value of area where the scale will be used. Refer to the gravity acceleration map appended

to the end of this manual.

Warning to indicate that an object beyond the scale capacity has been placed on the pan. Remove the object from the pan.

This will be shown if the weight sensor receives strong force upward. Check if the weighing pan is touching anything or if there is anything in the base. There is a possibility that the weight sensor itself may have a failure.

The sample weight is too light to set the unit weight in the counting mode. Increase the sample numbers.

If you cannot cancel an error or other errors occur, request service from the store where you purchased the product or to your A&D dealer.

Warning to show that the batteries are exhausted. Replace them with new batteries.

Warning to show that the voltage of main power source is too low.

This may be shown that the scale fails to store parameters when the calibration, function setting, unit weight registration, comparator limits setting and so on have been done. Turn the power off once and try the above procedure again. If this error happens again, there is a defect in the memory device.
