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

larger

pan

and

the

FG-

KAM/KBM

has

a

smaller

pan.

The

FG-KAL/KAM

has

a

display

column

and

the

FG-

KBM

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

to

“Cautions

for

installing

the

scale”

below.

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.

humidity

is

lower

than

45%

RH.

Plastic

and

isolators

are

apt

to

be

□

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

display

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.
