Describes precautions on handling the balance, balance construction and basic balance operation. Describes response adjustment and calibration (sensitivity adjustment). Describes various functions of the balance. Describes the interface which transmits data and controls the balance. Describes maintenance, error codes, troubleshooting, specifications and options.

Compact general-purpose balance, can be installed almost anywhere. Large breeze break, provided as a standard accessory for more accurate weighing. The breeze break can be removed with one touch, so cleaning is simple. Casing construction, strong protection against dust and moisture. Carat pans for weighing jewelry, provided as standard accessories. Multiple weighing units with most of the common units used around the world.

The default settings of the unit of weight are the metric carat (ct) and grams (g). The unit can be switched by pressing the

Standard RS-232C serial interface to communicate with a computer and to output the Good

Laboratory Practice (GLP) / Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliant report.

A built-in clock and calendar that can add the time and date to the output data. (Changing the clock

setting can be limited to the administrator. Refer to “15. Password Function”.)

The password function can be used to restrict balance users or changes to the function settings. The key lock function disables the balance key operation and enables the balance to be operated

only by commands from external devices.

Statistical calculation mode to statistically calculate the weight data, and display or output the sum,

maximum, minimum, range (maximum-minimum), average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation.

MODE key.

Comparator Indicators, displaying the comparison results.

Underhook for below weighing, provided as a standard accessory.

Hold Function, provided for weighing a moving object such as an animal. As options, the USB interface (FXi-02), the Ethernet interface (FXi-08) and the built-in battery unit

(FXi-09) are available. Connecting the USB interface, by cable to a Windows computer, allows transmission of the weight data to Excel or Word. The Ethernet interface allows connection of the balance to a personal computer through a LAN. The battery unit allows use of the balance where a power source is not available.

Page 10

3. Precautions

To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weight data, note the

following:

3-1. Before Use

Install the balance in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not excessive. The best

operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% relative humidity.

Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and it is not affected by heaters or air

conditioners. Install the balance where it is free of dust. Install the balance away from equipment which produces magnetic fields. Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on the floor at the

ground level are best, as they are less prone to vibration. The weighing table should be solid, free from vibration and drafts and as level as possible. (An

anti-vibration table or stone table is ideal) Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and check it using the bubble spirit level.

When the bubble is off to the left :

Turn the leveling foot on the front right in the

clockwise direction.

When the bubble is off to the backward position :

Turn both leveling feet on the front in the

clockwise direction at the same time.

Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter. Plug in the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at least one hour. Calibrate the balance before use or after having moved it to another location. Refer to “7. Calibration

(Sensitivity adjustment/Calibration)”.

Caution: Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.

When the bubble is off to the right :

Turn the leveling foot on the front left in the

clockwise direction.

When the bubble is off to the forward position:

Turn both leveling feet on the front in the

counterclockwise direction at the same time.

Page 11

3-2. During Use

Discharge static electricity from the material to be weighed

(hereinafter referred to as the sample). When a sample could

have a static charge, the weight data is influenced. Ground

the balance and try the following:

Eliminate static electricity using the optional AD-1683 DC

static eliminator. Try to keep the ambient humidity above 45%RH. Use a metal shield case for a charged sample. Wipe charged plastic samples with a moistened cloth.

This balance uses a strong magnet as part of the balance

assembly, so please use caution when weighing magnetic materials such as iron. If there is a problem, use the underhook on the bottom of the balance to suspend the material away from the influence of the magnet.

Eliminate the temperature difference between a sample and

the environment. When a sample is warmer (cooler) than the ambient temperature, the sample will be lighter (heavier) than the true weight. This error is due to a rising (falling) draft around the sample.

Charged material

Material case

Grounding

Magnetic material

Make each weighing gently and quickly to avoid errors caused

by the evaporation of moisture from the sample or the absorption of moisture by the sample. Use a pair of long tweezers to place a sample on the pan to avoid placing a hand inside the breeze break.

Do not drop things upon the weighing pan, or place a sample

on the pan that is beyond the balance weighing capacity. Place a sample in the center of the weighing pan.

Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil to press the

keys. Use your finger only. Press the RE-ZERO key before each weighing to eliminate possible errors. Calibrate the balance periodically so as to eliminate possible errors. Take into consideration the affect of air buoyancy on a sample when more accuracy is required. Keep the balance interior free of dust and foreign materials. The breeze break (The FZ-CT / FX-CT series) is provided as a standard accessory. An anti-static

treatment has been applied to the breeze break components, but they may be charged with static

electricity when they are unpacked or when the humidity is low. If the weighing value is unstable even

when there are no drafts or the balance has a problem with repeatability, remove the breeze break. Or

wipe the clear plates with a moistened cloth, use the optional AD-1683 DC static eliminator or apply an

anti-static spray.

Page 12

3-3. After Use

Avoid mechanical shock to the balance. Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs service or repair. Avoid dust and water so that the balance weighs correctly. Protect the internal parts from liquid spills

and excessive dust. Do not use organic solvents or chemical cloth to clean the balance.

Clean the balance as described below:

Balance main unit, Weighing pan

Breeze break (standard accessory)

Use a soft, lint free cloth that is moistened with a mild detergent to clean. The edge of the weighing pan is sharp. Use caution when cleaning the pan.

An antistatic treatment has been applied to the breeze break components. Use a soft, dry, lint free cloth to clean. Cleaning with a cloth that is moistened with water or a mild detergent repetitively, or washing with water, may degrade the antistatic effect.

3-4. Power Supply

When the AC adapter is connected, the balance is in the standby mode if the standby indicator is on

(refer to "4. Display Symbols and Key Operation"). This is a normal state and does not harm the

balance. For accurate weighing, allow the balance to reach equilibrium with room temperature, and

then warm up the balance for at least one hour before use.

Zero operation, tare operation and weighing range

When weighing is started

The balance will determine the reference zero point when the ON:OFF key is pressed to enter the weighing mode. Depending on the load condition at that time, the balance will automatically judge whether to perform zero or tare operation. The condition for determining which is used is "power on zero range", and when power on zero range is exceeded, the tare operation is performed.

Re-zero operation

By pressing the RE-ZERO key, the display can be set to zero. The re-zero operation with the RE-ZERO key will automatically judge whether to perform zero or tare operation. The condition for determining which is used is "zero range", and when zero range is exceeded, the tare operation is performed.

Weighing range

The range that the balance can weigh varies depending on the model. When the total amount (net weight + tare weight) displayed for each model exceeds the maximum display, E is displayed to indicate that the weighing range is exceeded. When exceeded in the negative direction, -E is displayed.

7. Calibration (Sensitivity Adjustment/Sensitivity

Check)

7-1. Calibration Mode

Since the balance's resolution is high, weighing values may change due to gravity and daily environmental changes. It is necessary to perform calibration (sensitivity adjustment) with the weight in order to keep the weighing values from changing even if gravity or the environment changes. Calibrate the balance if it is installed for the first time or relocated, or when the weighing values change significantly in daily inspection. Calibration means to adjust the weighing value of the balance using the reference weight or internal mass. Calibration test means to weigh with the reference weight and compare how much the result deviates from the reference value. (Calibration test does not perform adjustment.)

Calibration (Sensitivity adjustment)

Calibration using the internal mass ------------------- Using the internal mass, adjust the balance with a single

touch. (FZ-CT series)

Calibration using an external weight ----------------- Using an external weight, adjust the balance.

Calibration test (Sensitivity check)

Calibration test using an external weight ----------- Checks the accuracy of weighing using an external weight

(target weight) and outputs the result. * No adjustment is made.

Notes

When calibrating, be sure to install the provided large breeze break. Do not allow vibration, drafts, or temperature change to affect the balance during calibration.

Calibration adjusts the balance for accurate weighing.

Besides periodic calibration and before each use, perform calibration when:

The balance is installed for the first time. The balance has been moved. The ambient environment has changed.

To output the GLP/GMP compliant report using the RS-232C serial interface, set "GLP output ( info )"

of "Data output ( dout )". For details, refer to "9. Function Table". To display the GLP output, a printer

or personal computer is required.

Calibration test is available only when "GLP output ( info )" of "Data output ( dout )" is set to "1", "2" or

"3".

Note on using an external weight

The accuracy of an external weight will influence the accuracy of weighing. Select an appropriate

weight as listed below:

Model Usable weight Adjustable range

FZ-1200CT / FX-1200CT 250 g, 200 g, 100 g, 50 g, 20 g

-0.0150 g to +0.0150 g FZ-700CT/ FX-700CT 150 g, 100 g, 50 g, 20 g

FZ-500CT/ FX-500CT 100 g, 50 g, 20 g

The calibration weight in bold type: factory setting.

The weight value can be adjusted within the range above.

Display

This indicator means "the balance is measuring calibration data".

Do not allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance while this indicator is displayed.

Page 18

7-2. Calibration Using the Internal Mass

This function calibrates the balance using the internal mass. The only operation required is to press

the CAL key. (The FX-CT series does not have this function.)

Notes

Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and confirm that the bubble is in the center of

the spirit level.

Poor level adjustment may cause a calibration error while using the internal mass.

(One-Touch Calibration, Only for the FZ-CT Series)

Operation

1 Connect the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at least one hour with nothing on the weighing

pan. 2 Press the CAL key. 3 The balance displays Calin and automatically performs calibration using the internal mass. Do not

allow vibration or drafts to affect the balance. 4 The balance displays end after calibration. If the "GLP output (info)" parameter of the function

table is set, the balance displays glp and outputs the calibration report using the RS-232C

interface. Refer to “GLP output (info)” in "10-2. GLP Report". 5 The balance automatically returns to the weighing mode after calibration.

About the internal mass

The internal mass may change due to corrosion or other damage caused by the operating

environment, or due to aging. The internal mass value can be corrected using an external weight. To

maintain the weighing accuracy, perform the internal mass value correction periodically. Refer to "7-4.

Correcting The Internal Mass Value 1" and "7-7. Correcting The Internal Mass Value 2".

Page 19

7-3. Calibration Test Using the Internal Mass

9-10. Counting Mode (PCS)

This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample based on the standard sample unit

mass. The unit mass means the mass of one piece of the sample. The smaller the variables in each sample unit mass are, the more accurate the counting will be. The balance is equipped with the Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) function to improve the counting accuracy.

Notes

If the sample unit mass variable is too large, it may cause a counting error. To improve the counting performance, use the ACAI function frequently or divide the samples

into several groups and count each group.

Notes

If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light and is not adequate to be used

as the unit mass, it displays lo . In that case, store the mass by some quantity. For example, when the model with the minimum weighing value of 0.001 g is used and 10 pieces of samples weigh 0.005 g. Store 100 pieces of samples as 10 and multiply the weighing result by 10.

If the balance judges that the mass of the samples is too light to aquire accurate weighing, it

displays an error requiring the addition of more samples to the specified number. For example,

150- appears to require 25 more samples. Add 25 samples and press the PRINT key.

When the unit mass is stored correctly, the balance proceeds to the counting mode.

For a more accurate counting operation, use samples with a unit mass of at least ten or more

times the minimum weighing value of the balance. For example, when a balance with a

to be

Page 44

mimimum weighing value of 0.001 g is used, the recommended sample unit mass is 0.01 g or more.

The sample unit mass stored, even if the AC adapter is removed, is maintained in non-volatile

memory.

Note

A printer, a personal computer, or peripheral equipment that is sold

Counting mode using the ACAI function

The ACAI is a function that improves the accuracy of the unit mass

automatically by increasing the number of samples and averaging the unit mass variable to minimize the weighing error, as the counting process proceeds.

8 If a few more samples are added, the processing indicator turns on. To prevent an error, add three or

more. The processing indicator does not turn on if overloaded. Try to add the same number of samples as displayed.

9 The balance re-calculates the unit mass while the processing indicator is blinking. Do not touch the

balance or samples on the pan until the processing indicator turns off.

10 Counting accuracy is improved when the processing indicator turns off. Each time the above operation is performed, a more accurate unit mass will be obtained. There is no

definite upper limit of ACAI range for the number of samples exceeding 100. Try to add the same number of samples as displayed.

11 Remove all the samples used in ACAI and proceed with the counting operation using the improved

unit mass.

10. ID Number and GLP Report

The ID number is used to identify the balance when Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) or Good

Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is used. The ID number is maintained in non-volatile memory even if the AC adapter is removed. The output format for GLP/GMP compliant report is selected at "GLP output (info)" of the function

table and can be output to a personal computer or printer using the RS-232C serial interface. The GLP/GMP compliant report includes the balance manufacturer, model, serial number, ID number

and space for signature for weight data, and the weight used and results for calibration or calibration

test data.

The FZ-CT series is equipped with the built-in clock and can output the time and date using a clock

and calendar function.

With the FX-CT series, when an AD-8121B printer is connected to the balance, the time and date can

be printed using the clock and calendar function of the printer. In this case, set the "GLP output

(

info )" parameter to "1".

When an AD-8127 printer is connected to the balance and outputs the GLP report, the time and date

can be added to the report using the clock function of the printer. (Available for balances with software

version 1.660 or later)

This is very useful for managing the time and date using the AD-8127 password lock function to

prevent them from being falsified.

To output the GLP/GMP compliant report, set the AD-8127 printer to the dump printing mode. The balance can output the following:

"Calibration report" of the calibration, using the internal mass (Calibration due to changes in

temperature and one-touch calibration.)

"Calibration report" of the calibration, using an external weight. "Calibration test report" of the calibration test, using an external weight and using the internal mass. "Title block" and "End block" for the weight data.

devices such as a printer or a personal computer can be used instead of the balance built-in clock data for the GLP/GMP compliant report. This is useful for standardizing the clock data using the clock function of an external device. Except for the date and time, the same format as “

info 2” is used.

Notes

“info 3” is available for balances with software version 1.860 or later.

To output the clock data of an external device, the external device such as an AD-8127 printer

or Windows communication tools software WinCT RsCom must have a function to output the time and date when <ESC>D or <ESC>T is received.

Even withinfo 3 set, the data memory function saves the balance built-in clock data for the

calibration report.

This is a programmable unit conversion function. It multiplies the weight data in grams by an arbitrary

coefficient set in the function table and displays the result.

The coefficient must be within the range between the minimum and maximum shown below. If the

coefficient set is beyond the range, an error is displayed and the balance returns to the coefficient setting mode, prompting to enter an appropriate value. A coefficient of 1 was set at the factory.

15-3. Connection to a Computer

The balance can be connected to a personal computer using the RS-232C serial interface. As an option, the FX

i-02 USB interface is available to transmit the

balance data to a personal computer.

The balance is a DCE device. Use a straight through cable when connecting to a personal computer. A commercially available modem cable can be used. When purchasing, confirm the following specifications.

D-Sub 9-pin Female connector Inch screw thread

15-4. Using Windows Communication Tools (WinCT)

When Windows is used as an operating system in a personal computer, the WinCT software, that is

downloaded from the A&D website, can be used to transmit the weight data to the personal computer.

The WinCT has three communication methods: "RsCom", "RsKey" and "RsWeight".

Rscom

Can transmit commands to control the balance. Can make bi-directional communication between the balance and a personal computer using the

RS-232C serial interface.

Can display or store the data using a text file format. Can also print the data using a printer connected

to a personal computer.

When several ports of a personal computer have balances connected, can communicate with each

balance simultaneously.

Can share a personal computer with other application software.

Rskey

Can transmit the weight data output from the balance directly to other application software such as

Microsoft Excel.

Can be used with most application software.

Rsweight

Can retrieve the weight data from the balance and display the data as a graph in real time. Can calculate and display the maximum, minimum, average, standard deviation and coefficient of

variation.

Using the WinCT software, the balance can do the following:

1 Analyzing the weight data and the statistics with "RsKey" The weight data can be input directly into an Excel worksheet. Then, Excel can analyze the data to

obtain sum, average, standard deviation, maximum and minimum value, and display them as a graph. 2 Controlling the balance using commands from a personal computer By using "RsCom", the personal computer sends commands such as "re-zero" or "send weight data"

to the balance and controls the balance. 3 Printing the balance GLP report using your printer The balance GLP report can be printed using a printer connected to a personal computer. 4 Receiving weight data at a certain interval The weight data can be received at a certain interval and data characteristic with elapsed time can be

obtained.

Page 74

5 Using a personal computer as an external indicator With the "RsKey" test mode function, a personal computer can be used as an external weight indicator

for the balance. (To do this, set the balance data output mode to stream mode.)

When the "AK, Error code ( )" parameter of "Serial interface ( )" is set to "1 ", the balance

outputs an appropriate response for each command to improve the reliability of communications.

When is set:

When the balance receives a command to request data and cannot process it, the balance transmits

an error code (EC, Exx). When the balance receives a command to request data and can process it, the balance outputs the data.

When the balance receives a command to control the balance and cannot process it, the balance

transmits an error code (EC, Exx). When the balance receives a command to control the balance and can process it, the balance

transmits the acknowledge code (AK). Among commands to control the balance, the following transmit the acknowledge code (AK) both

when the balance receives the command and when the balance has accomplished the command. If

the command cannot be processed properly, the balance transmits an error code (EC, Exx). This error

can be released using the CAL command. CAL command (When performing the calibration using a calibration weight)

Page 78

17. Key Lock Function

Sending specified commands to the balance will lock the keys on the balance to disable the key

functions. This is useful for controlling the balance only by an external device such as a personal computer.

Even if the keys are locked, key operations using commands are available. For details on

commands to operate the keys, refer to “16. Commands”. The key lock state can be checked using the command to request the state of the balance keys. The key lock state is maintained until the balance receives the key unlocking command or the

balance is turned off by removing the AC adapter.

20. Troubleshooting

20-1. Checking the Balance Performance and Environment

The balance is a precision instrument. When the operating environment or the operating method is

inadequate, correct weighing cannot be performed. Place a sample on the pan and remove it, and repeat this several times. If the balance seems to have a problem with repeatability or to perform improperly, check as described below. Also, visit our website, "Information Library" and "FAQ". If improper performance persists after checking, contact the local A&D dealer for repair.

Checking that the balance performs properly

Check the balance repeatability using an external weight. Be sure to place the weight in the center of

the weighing pan.

Check the balance repeatability, linearity and calibrated value using external weights with a known value.

Checking that the operating environment or weighing method is proper
