2. INTRODUCTION
r
This manual describes how this scale works and how to get the most out of it
in terms of performance.
FS-i series check weighing scales have the following features:
The FS-i series has three kinds of weight display resolution, 1/3,000, 1/6,000
(~1/7,500) and 1/12,000 (~1/15,000) to cover various applications.
There are 2 sizes of weighing pan. The FS-30Ki has a larger pan and the FS-6Ki /
FS-15Ki has a smaller pan.
Weighing units are kg kilogram, g gram, lb pound; oz ounce; and lb-oz pound and
ounce.
Waterproof to IP-65 specifications.
Constructed from stainless steel for harsh working environment.
Large liquid crystal display with back lighting and analog sweep display of 60
segments with back lighting.
Scale may be operated by AC power source or an optional SLA (sealed lead acid)
battery.
Built in comparator with large and bright LED display of results.
Three colors of comparator results for better visibility.
Two modes of comparator operation, Target weight setting and Upper/Lower limits
setting.
Optional serial data and comparator relay interface.
3. UNPACKING
Unpack the scale carefully and keep the packing material if you are likely to transport
the scale again in the future.
When unpacking, check whether all of the following items are included:
CAUTION
Do not pull the load cell cable.

4. CAUTION
4-1. Precautions for Installing the Scale
Ground the scale so that the user will not be subjected an electric shock.
Do not handle the main power cord with wet hands.
The AC plug is not water-resistant. Install it in an area where it does not get wet.
Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
Do not install the scale under water.
Do not pull, fold or arrange cables forcibly.
Consider following conditions to get the most from 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 in a place where it is apt to be chraged with static electricity,
or where the relativ e humidity is lower than 45% RH. Plastic and isolators a re apt to
be charged with static electricity.
Do not use an unstable power source.
4-2. Precautions for Operating the Scale
Periodically ensure that the weighing value is correct.
Calibrate the scale periodically to keep weighing accuracy (See “10. CALIBRATION”).
Calibrate the scale when you move it to another location.
Do not place anything on the pan that is heavier than the weighing capacity.
Do not apply a shock load to the scale.
Do not use a sharp instrument such as a pencil or ball-point pen to press the keys.
Make sure that the STABLE annunciator is ON whenever reading or storing a value.
We recommend you to press the ZERO or TARE key before each weighing
to prevent possible error.
4-3. Precautions for Storing the Scale
Do not disassemble the scale.
Do not use solvents to clean the scale.
For best cleaning of the display pod, wipe with a lint free cloth that is dry or
moistened with warm water and mild detergent.
The base unit is can be cleaned with gentle water jet and brushing. Dry the unit well
before use.
Do not use a powerful water jet.

5. SETTING UP
yp
5-1. Attaching a display pod to the display support column
1. Take out whole of the scale from the box
taking care not to pull the load cell cable.
2. Remove 2 clamps and 2 M4x12 screws.
Displa
3. Attach the display pod to the display
support column and tighten the
M4x12 screws removed at step 2.
4. Attach the clamps and tighten them
after tilting the display pod where
you like to use.
Put the excess part of the load cell
cable into the display support
column

5-2. 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. There is an extra
foot under the display support column.
Adjust this foot to reach floor after adjusting
the level of the base.
3. Connect the main power cord to the outlet that
has the earth wiring. You may use the earth
terminal on the rear side of the display pod
to ground the scale.
4. If necessary, adjust the viewing angle of the
display by loosening the 2 clamps, changing
the angle and re-tightening the clamps.

ZERO / ± Key
The ZERO key zeros the scale when the weight is stable
(STABLE annunciator ON). In the data entry sequence this
key switches the sign “+” and “-”.
TARE Key
The TARE key switches the scale to net weight mode and
zeros the weight display when the weight is plus and stable.
The ZERO and NET annunciators will come ON.
PT Key
The PT key is used to enter a tare weight via the 10-ke
pad.
SAMPLE / 9 Key
The SAMPLE key will register the sample weight as the
target. In the data entry sequence this key displays the
KEY / 8 Key
The KEY key allows you to enter a target weight using the
keypad. In the data entry sequence this key displays the
RECALL / 7 Key
The RECALL key is used to recall target weight and/o
HI/LO limits. In the data entry sequence this key displays the
HI / 6 Key
The HI key allows you to enter the comparator HI limit
using the numeric keypad. In the data entry sequence this key
dis
s the number 6.
LO / 5 Key
The LO key allows you to enter the comparator LO limit
using the numeric keypad. In the data entry sequence this key
dis
s the number 5.

STORE / 4 Key
r
t
The STORE key is used to store target weight and/o
HI/LO limits. In the data entry sequence this key displays the
DISP. / 3 Key
When the DISP. key is pressed the analog weight display
steps through the 4 available modes of simple weighing, targe
weighing, limit check weighing and display off. In the data
entry sequence this key displays the number 3.
UNITS / 1 Key
The UNITS key is used to select the desired weighing unit .
In the data entry sequence this key displays the number 1.
PRINT / ENT Key
The PRINT key is used when the serial data option OP-03
or OP-04 is installed and sends one data string. In the data
entry sequence this key is used to ENTER the numeric data
into the scale memory.
C Key
The C key is used to clear an incorrect data entry from the
numeric keys.
