Page 24: Programmable-Unit
4.1.2. Programmable-unit The programmable-unit function allows the balance to calculate and display the conversion result by multiplying the weighing value in grams with the coefficient you have set with the function table. Note that the coefficient must be within the minimum and maximum range below. If the coefficient is outside this range, an error message will appear, and the balance will return to setting mode, prompting you to enter a valid value.
Page 25 Step Description Display and key operation Confirming the set coefficient The currently set coefficient is displayed with the first digit blinking. Setting a new coefficient Set a coefficient by operating the keys as explained below. SAMPLE key Selects a digit to change the value. The selected digit blinks. RE-ZERO key Changes the value.
Page 26: Basic Operation
4.2. Basic operation 4.2.1. Zero-point setting, tare subtraction operation, and weighing range At the start of weighing The balance determines the reference zero-point when the weighing display is turned on with the ON:OFF key. Depending on the load condition at that time, the balance will automatically judge whether to perform zeroing or tare subtraction operation.
Page 27 Re-zero operation Pressing the RE-ZERO key sets the display to zero. Re-zero operation with the RE-ZERO key automatically determines which operation to perform: zero setting or tare subtraction. Based on the "zero range", tare subtraction is performed when the range is exceeded.
Page 28 Turning on/off the readability digit Step Description Display and key operation Weighing operation Pressing the SAMPLE key toggles the readability digit on / off. Weighing range Each balance model has a specific range in which it can weigh and display. If a gross weight exceeds the maximum display capacity for the model, the balance displays , indicating that the weight is over the weighing range.
Page 29: Smart Range Function
4.3. Smart range function The FZ-254D and FX-254D are equipped with two ranges: standard range and precision range (high resolution range). Smart range function The balance automatically switches between the standard and precision (high resolution) ranges depending on the value to be displayed. The precision range can be used even with a heavy container (tare) on the weighing pan if you set the display to zero by pressing the RE-ZERO key.
Page 30: Counting Mode (Pcs)
4.4. Counting mode (PCS) This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample. Based on the reference sample unit weight (weight per piece), the balance calculates and displays how many pieces the sample weight corresponds to. The smaller the variation in the unit weight of sample pieces is, the more accurate the count will be.
Page 31 Step Description Display and key operation Weighing operation Place a container on the weighing pan if necessary. Press the RE-ZERO key to display Container (In this example, the number of sample pieces to store is 25.) Place the specified number of samples on the weighing pan.

Page 33: Percent Mode (Percent Weighing Mode)
4.5. Percent mode (Percent weighing mode) The percent mode displays the weighing value in a percentage compared with a reference mass as 100%. This is useful for target weighing or sample variance checks. Caution appears if the balance judges that the sample is too light to be stored as the 100% reference mass.
Page 34: Percent Weighing
Step Description Display and key operation Weighing operation Press the PRINT key to store the 100% reference mass. The balance displays 100.00 %. The stored 100% reference mass is stored in nonvolatile memory even if the power is removed. Percent weighing Now it is ready to perform percent weighing.
Page 35: Impact Shock Detection (Isd) Function
Impact Shock Detection (ISD) Function The balance has a function to detect impact shocks to the mass sensor section and to display the impact level. By lowering the impact level at the time of loading, it is possible not only to alleviate variation in the weighing value but also to reduce the risk of failure of the mass sensor section.
