  • Page 6: Introduction

    FS-i series check weighing scales have the following features:  The FS-i series has three kinds of weight display resolution, 1/3,000, 1/6,000 (~1/7,500) and 1/12,000 (~1/15,000) to cover various applications.  There are 2 sizes of weighing pan. The FS-30Ki has a larger pan and the FS-6Ki / FS-15Ki has a smaller pan.

  • Page 13: Basic Operation

    7. BASIC OPERATION 7-1. Turning the power ON and OFF 1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the power ON. All the display symbols are displayed and the scale waits for the weighing data to become stable. After the weighing value internally becomes stable, the display turns off for a moment and zero is shown with the ZERO annunciator (power-on zero).

  • Page 14: Weighing With Preset Tare

    Note for the Legal for Trade Models  The range for power-on zero is within ±10% of the weighing capacity around the calibrated zero point.  The ZERO key will zero the scale if the weight is within ±2% of the weighing capacity around the power-on zero point.

    8. CHECK WEIGHING The FS-i series provides for easy check weighing of products. There are two comparison modes according to number of parameters to set, “Target weight setting mode” and “Upper & lower limits weight setting mode”. The comparator results are indicated by HI (yellow), OK (green) or LO (red) lights on the display.
