FD Series Food Portioning Scale
Easy to Set-Up for Your Operation:
The OHAUS FD Food Portioning Scale Has All The Features You Need:
• Selectable Weighing Units — The FD Food Portioning Scale can be set up to display all, some, or only one
weighing unit to match the requirements of your operation.
• Lb & Oz Display— The FD Food Scale can display a decimal pound to 3 decimal places, as well as 1/4 fractional or
decimal ounces, and can even display results in a combined lb:oz display.
• Metric Display — For metric use, the FD Food Scale can display results in kilograms or grams with a readability
ranging from 0.5g to 2 g, depending on model.
• Percent Weight — Allows users to compare the weight of a sample as a percentage of a reference weight.
• Change Units Quickly — The unit displayed can be changed with a single key press
• Set It Up and Lock It In — The FD Food Portioning Scale can be set to the mode and weighing units required, and
then locked-in using either software or hardware locks. The OHAUS FD Food Portioning Scale can be locked to
ensure the configuration you choose is the configuration you use!
• Easy to Calibrate — The FD Food Portioning Scale’s software menu allows the user to recalibrate the FD Scale to
ensure accurate results. To prevent accidental recalibration, the FD Food Portioning Scale also can be configured
using software and hardware calibration lockouts. The user can calibrate the FD scale using either span (two-point)
or linear (three point) calibration setups.
• Legal-For-Trade Modes Included — For operations that require certified performance, either to NTEP or
Measurement Canada standards, the Food Portion Scale includes legal-for-trade software (non-H models only).
For Checkweighing Applications, The OHAUS FD Can Be Quickly Configured:
The FD Portioning Scale can be set to either simply display a weight, or can be set to act as a dedicated, low-
profile checkweigher for food portioning and grading:
• Portioning and Prepackaging — With the positive checkweighing mode for packaging, add to the portion on
the pan until you reach the weight you need
• Portioning Out of the Box — Use the negative checkweighing mode for portioning and pizza making, portioning
out of a container on the pan until the required weight is reached
• Sorting & Grading — The “zero” checkweighing method is designed for sorting and grading operations, so you
can check portions against preset limits
• Quickly Set Targets — Target weights can be entered quickly using the dedicated Setpoint key
• Bright LED’s and Buzzer Speed Use — Progress against weight targets can be indicated with the three LED’s,
with indications for Over, Accept and Under with selectable audible buzzer.
