Operating instructions

Operating Design
You can connect any standard strain-
gauge load cell or analog IWA, IU or
IF-series weighing platform to the
FCT01-X terminal. All cables are
fitted with cable glands or threaded
round connectors for network
connections.
In addition to the power jack, your
scale also has an interface port for
connecting additional devices such
as a printer, computer, or universal
remote control switch, for example.
Operation of the terminal follows a
uniform philosophy, which is
described below.
The term “scale” as used in this
manual indicates an FCT01-X terminal
connected to a weighing cell.
Combination of Several Applications
You can combine the use of various
application programs to meet your
more complicated requirements.
To select application programs one
after the other, press D (toggle

connected PC. This manual
