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 FGKAM/KBM has a smaller pan. The FG-KAL/KAM has a display column and the FGKBM is a without column model.

U.SA models Indicators STABLE O Indicates when the reading is stable. NET < Indicates when NET weight is displayed. (Tare function is used.) ZERO ◄ Indicates when the scale zero is correct. OKlLO Weighing units Indicates when the scale zero is correct. “kg” and “pcs” for metric models “lb”, “oz”, “kg” and “pcs” for U.S.A. models Switches 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).
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. \iE-ZEROy 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 stable.
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.
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. □ 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.
6. Remove the object from the weighing pan. □ The RE-ZERO switch 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. When the weight exceeds +2% of the weighing capacity (kg), it will be subtracted to zero as a tare weight, in this case the ZERO and NET indicators turn on. switch will zero the scale if the weight is within ±2% of the weighing □ The ZERO capacity (kg) around the power-on zero point.
6. COUNTING MODE Determines a unit weight (the weight of one piece) from sample pieces, and calculates how many pieces on the weighing pan using the unit weight. 1. Press the MODE switch to select “pcs”. (“pcs” = pieces) o n LI ZERO 7 2. Press and hold the MODE switch to enter the sample unit weight storing mode. 3. To select the number of samples, press the PRINT switch. It may be set to 5, lO, 20, 50 or lOO. N fo Cn ZERO ?* 'o pcs pcs Jn_ L LI ZERO Confirm the dis^y 4.
7. COMPARATOR The results of the comparison are indicated by HI, OK or LO on the display. The formula to compare is as follows; LO < Lower limit value = OK = Upper limit value < HI Operating conditions (see the ‘‘Function list F6”): F6-0: No comparison (comparator function disabled). F6-1: To compare all data. F6-2: To compare more than +4d or less than -4d. F6-3: To compare all stable data. F6-4: To compare stable data more than +4d or less than -4d. F6-5: To compare stable data more than +4d.
8. CALIBRATION This function adjusts the scaie for accurate weighing. Calibrate the scale in the following cases. □ When the scale is first used. □ When the scale has bee moved. □ When the ambient environment has changed. □ For regular calibration. Loose the lock screws on the rear side of the display pod, and remove the CAL switch cover. Then, there is a calibration switch on the board inside. □ For the FG-KB series (without column), you may once remove the weighing pan to access lock screws easily.
fo~ 6. Place the calibration weight on the pan with the same value as displayed, and wait until the STABLE indicator turns on. sjhnn - IQJJU _____ 7. Press the MODE switch. The scale calibrate SPAN will appear. and E n d C »J 1 1II 1 Remove the weight from the pan, and turns the power off. a Note The value set in step 5 is cleared after the power is switched off.
9. FUNCTIONS The scale has Function settings to expand your applications. The parameters set in the Function settings are maintained even if the power switchei off. c / /_ 1 V \ 1 / I :: 11 ■' 1 ^ / l - i _____ Item \ Parameter 9-1. The procedure for setting parameters 1. Turn the power off. 2. Press and hold the ZERO switch and turn the ON/OFF power on via the switch. Then, the first function item and its parameter is displayed. 3. Set the parameter value using the PRINT switch.

10. OPTIONS The following options are available for the FG series: □ OP-23 (FG-23) □ OP-24 (FG-24) RS-232C serial interface RS-232C serial interface and Comparator relay output O OP-23 and OP-24 cannot be used together. 10-1. Installation of OP-23/OP-24 The OP-23/OP-24 has an interface board, an option panel and a DIN 8 pin connector. The option panel and DIN connector are common to both options. Before installation, prepare an interface cable using attached DIN connector.
10-2. OP-23 RS-232C serial interface This interface aiiows FG series to be connected with a muiti-function printer or a personai computer. □ The RS-232C interface has the foilowing four modes. Stream mode Outputs data continuousiy. Command mode Controis the scaie using commands from a computer. Print switch mode Outputs data by pressing the | PRiNT | switch.. Auto-print mode Outputs data which meets the conditions of auto-print.
Pin connections Mating connector: DIN 8 pin (JA+TCP058) Attached to FG-23. Data format s T ) 0 + 0 0 0 0 .0 0 yA^ _ k g j^ Header Cr Lf v_ Unit Terminator Data shows a space.) -Separator □ There are 4 types of headers: ST : Stable weighing data QT: Stable counting data US : Unstable weighing data (including counting data) OL: Out of weighing range (Over) □ The data is normally 9 digits including decimal point and a sign.
Data output mode □ stream mode Function setting “F5-0" The scale outputs the current display data. The data-update rate is approximately 10 times per second. This rate is the same as the display-update. The scale does not output data while it is in setting mode. □ Print switch mode Function setting “F5-2” When the PRINT switch is pressed while the weighing data is stable (STABLE indicator is on), the scale transmits the data.
Reply to the command When the “F8-0” is selected, the scale reacts to the received command as follows. □ For the “Q” command, the scale will send the data. □ For the “Z” and “T” commands, the scale will send the same code as a reply aft executing the command. Reply Z Cr Lf Reply Cr Lf When the command cannot execute because the scale is unstable, for exampi ‘T’ will be sent. Reply CrLf □ If the received command is not for the FG series, the scale will send “?”.
MAINTENA 11-1. Notes on maintenance □ Do not disassemble the scale. Contact your local A&D dealer if your scale needs service or repair. □ Please use the original packaging for transportation. □ Do not use organic solvents to clean the scale. Use a warm lint free cloth dampened with a mild detergent. 11 -2 Error codes Overload error Warning to indicate that an object beyond the scale capacity has been placed on the pan. Remove the object from the pan.
