This Manual and Marks All safety messages are identified by the following, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”, of ANSI Z535.4 (American National Standard Institute: Product Safety Signs and Labels). The meanings are as follows: A potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result WARNING in death or serious injury.
1. COMPLIANCE Compliance with FCC rules Please note that this equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. This equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the limits of a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference when equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
2. INTRODUCTION This manual describes how this scale works and how to get the most out of it in terms of performance. 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.
4. CAUTION 4-1. Precautions for Installing the Scale Ground the scale so that the user will not be subjected an electric shock. Do not handle the main power cord with wet hands. The AC plug is not water-resistant. Install it in an area where it does not get wet. Do not install the scale where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
5. SETTING UP 5-1. Attaching a display pod to the display support column 1. Take out whole of the scale from the box taking care not to pull the load cell cable. 2. Remove 2 clamps and 2 M4x12 screws. Display pod 3.

WEIGHT DATA DISPLAY. This display shows the weight on the weighing pan. WEIGHING UNIT INDICATOR. This display area shows the weighing unit in use. ANALOG WEIGHT DISPLAY. This scale has a 60 segments analog sweep display representing zero to full scale when the simple weighing mode display is selected.
Page 10
Description of Key Operations ON/OFF Key The ON/OFF key turn the power on or off. When turned on, the scale will be automatically set to zero (power-on zero). ZERO / ± Key The ZERO key zeros the scale when the weight is stable (STABLE annunciator ON).
Page 11
STORE / 4 Key STORE key is used to store target weight and/or HI/LO limits. In the data entry sequence this key displays the number 4. DISP. / 3 Key When the DISP. key is pressed the analog weight display steps through the 4 available modes of simple weighing, target weighing, limit check weighing and display off.
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).
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.
7-6. Weight display resolution The FS-i series has three kinds of weight display resolution, NORMAL, HIGH and HIGHER. The following is about “kg” and “lb” display for reference. See the “12. SPECIFICATIONS” in detail. NORMAL: 1/3,000 HIGH: 1/6,000 ~ 1/7,500 (depending on capacity) HIGHER: 1/12,000 ~ 1/15,000 (depending on capacity) The factory setting is the NORMAL resolution, but it is possible to change by Function...
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.

3. Press the ENT key to store the HI limit weight in memory. -5tored 4. The display shows 5tored for a few seconds and returns to weighing mode. -000. 0 40 5. Press the LO key. Then, the last LO limit weight entered will flash and the left part of analog display turns on.
5. Press the key. Then, the last LO % weight -0000. 6 0 entered will flash and the left part of analog display turns on. 6. Enter the LO limit weight via the 10-key pad. -0000. 5 0 If you hit the wrong key, press the C key and the LO limit % is re-displayed.
3. Press the ENT key to store the HI limit weight in memory. -5tored 4. The display shows 5tored for a few seconds and returns to weighing mode. 5. Press the key and the last LO limit weight -003. 5 60 entered will flash.

Recalling a set of limits from memory 1. Press the RECALL key. Then the display will -frd-00 show rd 00 . 2. Press the memory number, for example 3. -frd-03 If you stop to recall, press the key, the scale returns to the weighing mode.
9. ANALOG SWEEP DISPLAY The FS-i series has a 60 segments analog sweep display. The DISP. key switches its display mode. Simple weighing display Except the UPPER & LOWER Target weighing display LIMIT WEIGHT SETTING MODE (F07-0). Limit check weighing display Analog display OFF It is possible to specify the display mode that will be shown first when the power is switched on.

10. CALIBRATION This function adjusts the scale for accurate weighing. Calibrate the scale in the following cases. Calibration (CAL) switch When the scale is first used. CAL switch When the scale has bee moved. cover When the ambient environment has changed.
7. To calibrate with the different weight, change the -00020. 0 0 displayed value using the 10-key pad. If you hit the wrong number, press the C key. The value returns to the capacity and enter again. 8. Place the calibration weight on the pan with the same value as displayed, and wait until the STABLE annunciator turns on.
11. FUNCTIONS The scale has Function settings to expand your applications. The parameters set in the Function settings are maintained even if the power switched off. -f01-01 Function number Parameter 11-1. The procedure for setting parameters 1. Turn the power off. -f01-01 2.
