    5. SETTING UP 5-1. 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. Screws 2. Set the display column to the base by pulling the cable into the base.
  • Page 9: Power Source

    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. ...

    6. BASIC OPERATION 6-1. Turning the power ON and OFF 1. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn the power ON. All the display symbols are displayed and the scale waits for the weighing data to become stable. (Only the units available illuminate.) After the weighing value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a moment and zero is shown with the ZERO indicator (power-on zero).
  • Page 11: Weight Display Resolution

    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.
  • Page 12: Counting Mode

    7. 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) ZERO 2.
  • Page 13: Comparator

    8. 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).
  • Page 14: Calibration

    9. CALIBRATION This function adjusts the scale 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 Connector changed.  For regular calibration. Lock screw Loose the lock screws on the rear side of Calibration (CAL) switch...
