1. OP-02 BATTERY 1-1. Using the OP-02 SLA Battery The scale can be operated with an SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) battery that will be commercially available. The scale (with no other options) can be operated with a fully charged battery for; LCD backlight OFF and Comparator light OFF: approximately 80 hours LCD backlight OFF and Comparator light ON: approximately 55 hours LCD backlight ON and Comparator light ON: approximately 25 hours...
1. Disconnect the main power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove the ten hexagon head screws and open the rear cover. Take care not to drop the rear cover or the wires connecting between front display and rear cover will be damaged. 3.
2. OP-03 RS-232C / RELAY OUTPUT This interface allows the FS-i series to be connected with a multifunction printer or a personal computer, and the relay outputs for comparator result are obtained. The OP-03 unit includes an interface board, a connector cable, a cable gland and two screws (M3x6).
1. Disconnect the main power cord from the outlet. 2. Remove the ten hexagon screws and open the rear cover. 3. Connect the cable from external device through the cable gland to the terminal blocks on the interface board. Also connect a yellow/green wire inside the display pod directly to “FG”...

The maximum number of text data is 300 characters. To use the UFC function, the text data has to be sent to the scale from the computer using “PF” command in the command mode (F06-1) in advance. Then, connect the scale with the printer and set the F06-2, F06-3 or F06-4. When the PRINT key is pressed or by auto-print mode (F06-2, F06-3 or F06-4), the scale will send the stored text data with the parameters replaced by the original data.
Page 14
If you will send more than 2 lines of data, attach “&” to the end of the first line. Then, the scale considers the data to be continued. A “Space” or “,” will be used to separate these data. You can skip them to reduce the number of characters, but you cannot skip “,”...
3. OP-04 RS-422 / 485 / RELAY OUTPUT This interface allows a personal computer to connect and control up to 16 FS-i scales, and the relay outputs for comparator result are obtained. The OP-04 unit includes an interface board, a connector cable, two cable glands and two screws (M3x6).
Installation is similar to the OP-03. See “2-1. Installation”. Set the function parameters F04, F05, F06, F18, F19 and F20 according your application. The function setting F19-1 must be set for RS-422 and F19-2 must be RS-485. To connect more than one scale with a computer, set a different address to each scale by F18-##.
