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.

ON/OFF Switch
Used to turn the power on or off. When turned on, the
scale will be automatically set to zero (power-on zero).
PRINT Switch
Outputs the weight value to printer. In the setting mode,
this switch is used to increment the value of the selected
digit blinking.
MODE Switch
Switches the weighing unit. In the setting mode, this
switch is used to store a parameter and go to the next.
\iE-ZEROy
RE-ZERO Switch
Clears the display to zero. In the setting mode, this
switch is used to select a digit blinking to change its
value.
ZERO Switch U.S.A. model
Zeroes the scale and turns the display zero. In the
setting mode, this switch is used to seiect a digit blinking
to change its value.
TARE ¿witch U.S.A. model
Subtracts tare (container) weight on the weighing pan.
□ The RE-ZERO
ZERO and

TARE
switches work when the weight value is
stable.
□ The
_________
RE-ZERO and ZERO
switches will zero the scale if the weight is within
+2% of the weighing capacity (kg) around the power-on zero point. The ZERO
indicator ? turns on.
□ If the weight exceeds +2% of the weighing capacity (kg), the RE-ZERO switch
will tare the scale. In this case the ZERO and NET indicators turn on.
□ The TARE switch will tare the scale when the weight is plus value. In this case
the ZERO and NET indicators turn on.
□ The ZERO operation clears tare operation previously done and NET indicator turns
off.
4. SETTING UP
4-1. Attaching a display pod to the base (FG-KAL and FG-KAM)
1. First, remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the display column^_^
2. Set the display column to the base by pulling the cable
into the base.
U Take care not pinch the cable between the
column and the base.
3. Tighten the 4 screws removed at step 1 to fix
the display column firmly.
4. Tilt the display pod forward by pressing in on
the two round side clamps, and slide off the
cable cover.
5. Pull the bundle of cable out from the top end of
display column, feeding all of slack of the
cable on the base into the display column.
U Take care not scratch the cable.

6. Put the bundle of cable back into the display column
7. Make sure the cable is fitted to the 2 cable
guides and attach the cable cover.

8. Place the weighing pan on the base.
4-2. Installing the scale
1. Select the place for installing the scale. Refer to “Cautions for installing the scale”
below.
2. Adjust the level of the base, using the spirit level and leveling feet. The FG-KAM has
an extra foot under the display column. Adjust this foot to reach floor after adjusting
the level of the base.
3. Tilt the display pod by pressing in on the two round side clamps.
