INTRODUCTION
This
manual
describes
how
this
scale
works
and
how
to
get
the
most
out
of
it
in
terms
of
performance.
FG
series
platform
scales
have
the
following
features:
□
The
FG
series
has
three
kinds
of
weight
display
resolution,
1/3,000,
1/6,000
(1/7,500)
and
1/12,000
(1/15,000).
□
There
are
2
sizes
of
weighing
pan.
The
FG-KAL
has
a
larger
pan
and
the
FG-
KAM/KBM
has
a
smaller
pan.
The
FG-KAL/KAM
has
a
display
column
and
the
FG-
KBM
is
a
without
column
model.
You
can
select
a
model
that
suits
your
own
application.
□
As
power
source,
you
can
use
an
AC
adapter
or
C
size
dry
batteries.
□
The
counting
function
easily
counts
the
number
of
articles
of
the
same
weight.
□
The
comparator
function
compares
the
display
value
with
upper
limit
and
lower
limit.
The
display
shows
the
result
and
the
optional
FG-24
can
output
it
as
a
relay
signal.
□
The
optional
FG-23
and
FG-24
has
an
RS-232C
interface
and
can
output
the
weighing
data
to
connect
with
a
printer,
computer
and
so
on.
2.
UNPACKING
When
unpacking,
check
whether
all
of
the
following
items
are
included:
Please
confirm
that
the

6
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.
□
Install
the
scale
on
a
solid
and
level
surface.
□
Do
not
install
the
scale
in
direct
sunlight.
□
Do
not
install
the
scale
near
heaters
or
air
conditioners.
□
Do
not
install
the
scale
where
there
is
flammable
or
corrosive
gas
present.
□
Do
not
install
the
scale
near
equipment
which
produces
magnetic
fields.
□
Do
not
install
the
scale
where
there
is
apt
to
be
static
electricity,
in
a
place
where
the
relative
humidity
is
lower
than
45%
RH.
Plastic
and
isolators
are
apt
to
be
charged
with
static
electricity.
□
Do
not
use
an
unstable
power
source.
□
When
the
scale
is
installed
for
the
first
time,
or
the
scale
has
been
moved,
carry
out
calibration
as
described
in
“8.
CALIBRATION”.
4-3.
Power
source
For
the
power
source,
the
AC
adapter
or

such
as
dust
or
liquid.
□
Calibrate
the
scale
periodically
to
keep
weighing
accuracy.
