Important Notice
・It should be known that this product contains potential danger. And so
please be sure to observe this document when installing, operating or
servicing this product.
・SHINKO DENSHI CO., LTD. will not take any responsibility for any
injury or damage caused by the non-observance of this document or
misuse or unauthorized modification of this product.
●
Potential dangers are increasing in the industrial equipment industries due to the
advent of new materials and processing methods, and speeding up of machines. It
is impossible to foresee all situations related to these dangers. In addition, there
are so many “impossible” and “don’ts” and so writing all of them in the operation
manual is impossible. Therefore, it is safe to think that what is not written in the
operation manual “cannot be performed” unless the operation manual positively
writes “it is possible.” When performing installation, operation, maintenance or
inspection of this product, not only observe what is written or indicated in this
document or on the product surface but also pay adequate consideration to safety
measures.

1-1 Operating precautions
■
Carry and install properly according to
the
installation
manual.
This product of FS-KF(C)E and FS-K series is heavy, so improper carrying or installation may
cause serious injury or failure.
■Do not wet the AC adapter
That may cause an electric shock, short-circuiting or failure.
■Do not connect the cables with its connector or jack being wet.
That may cause an electric shock, short-circuiting or failure.
■Do not touch the electrode with a wet or dirty hand.
That may cause an electric shock, short-circuiting or failure.
■
Do not disassemble or modify the product.
Doing so could result in injury, electric shock, fire and other accidents or failures. For
inspection and adjustment, contact the retailer from whom the product was purchased.
■
Do not move the product with a sample to be weighed set on the scale.
That may cause the sample to fall from the weighing pan, leading to a bodily injury or
destruction of the sample.
■
Do not
use
the product
on
a
n
unsta
ble table or a place that is subject to
vibration.
That may cause the sample to fall from the weighing pan, leading to a bodily injury or
destruction of the sample. Besides inaccurate weighing may result.
■
Do not move the scale holding its windshield.
That may cause the scale itself to fall, leading to a bodily injury or malfunction of the scale
itself. Be sure to hold the main unit of the scale to move it.
■
Do not place an unstable sample on the weighing pan.
The sample may fall down, giving rise to a danger. Put an unstable sample in a container
(tare) before weighing it.
■
Do not use the product in an abnormal condition.
If it should happen that an abnormal event such as smoking or unusual odor occurs, ask the
store where you purchased the product for repair. Keeping using the product may result in an
electric shock or fire. In addition, do not ever try to repair it for yourself, or very dangerous
situation is likely to occur.
■
Connect the cables properly.
Improper connection of the cables will impair the IP65 protection.
■
Obey the MSDS.
Measurering dangerous materials such as flammable liquid could cause an
explosion or
fire.
■
Only use the dedicated AC adapter
.
Use of other types of power or adapters may result in heat generation or malfunction
of the scale.


Do not give a shock to the scale
It may cause breakage or failure. Place a sample to be weighed softly.

Do not let an overload situation (
o
-
Err indication) continue.
It may cause breakage or failure. Remove the sample to be weighed immediately.

Do not use volatile solvent.
Use of volatile solvent is likely to deform the main unit. Dirt on the main unit should be
removed with a piece of dry cloth or cloth wet with small amount of neutral detergent.

Do not submerge the balance.
The balance is dustproof and waterproof, but is not capable of resisting high water pressure
such as occurs during submersion in water.

Do not use the product where wind from an HVAC equipment directly
applies.
Accurate weighing may be impeded due to the fluctuation of surrounding temperature.

Do not use the product where there is direct sun.
Accurate weighing may be impeded due to the rise of internal temperature.

Do not use the product where floor is soft.
Accurate weighing may be impeded due to the tilting of the main unit when an object is
placed on it.

Do not use the product where there is violent fluctuation of surrounding
temperature or humidity.
Accurate weighing may possibly be impeded. Use within a temperature range of 5 to 40 °C
and below a humidity of 85% RH.

Do not use the product on an unstable table or a place that is subject to
vibration.
It may cause not only inaccurate weighing but also the sample to fall from the weighing pan,
leading to a bodily injury.

Be sure to make adjustment at the time of installation or changing a use
place.
There occurs an error in measurement value. For the sake of accurate measurement, be
sure to make adjustment.

Check for an error periodically.
Use environment and chronological change cause an error in measured value, leading to an
inaccurate measurement.

Align the level of the scale without fail before use.
Weighing with a slanted scale causes an error, leading to an inaccurate measurement. Put
the scale on a robust place.

Make sure that nothing is placed on the top of the
weighing pan.
2
Make a zero adjustment.
Push the [Zero] key.
Displays on the main LCD become zero and the
symbol “ ” lights.
(1) It might be possible that the “Zero adjustment” cannot not be performed when an object
is placed on the weighing pan. In that case, make the “tare weight subtraction” referring
to the “Weighing an object placed on a container (tare)”
(2) Stability waiting during the zero adjustment can be set using the function item “Stability
waiting.” In the case the “Stability waiting” is set, the symbol “M” flashes during the
stability waiting. For its setting method, refer to “3 Functions related to the operation.”
(1) “Stability waiting” setting function of the above (2) can not be use.

2-3 Weighing an object placed on a container (tare)
When weighing an object to be weighed with the object placed on a container (tare), the
weight of the container must be subtracted from the total weight to get the actual weight of the
object to be weighed. This is called “tare weight subtraction.”
1
Place a container on the weighing
pan
.
The weight of the container is displayed.
2
Perform the tare weight subtraction.
Push the [Tare] key.
The indication changes to zero and the
“Net” symbol lights.
The indication changes to zero and the
“ ” symbol lights.
3
Place an object to be weighed on the
container.
The net weight of the object to be weighed
alone is indicated.
4
Clear the tare weight.
or
Remove the tare and the object to be weighed
from the weighing pan.
［Push the [Zero] key or the [Tare ] key.
The indication changes to zero and
the“ ” symbol goes out.
(1) Performing the tare weight subtraction narrows the weighing range as much as the amount
of the tare weight mass (tare weight).
Weighable range = weighing capacity - tare weight
(2) Stability waiting during the tare weight subtraction can be set using the function item
“Stability waiting.” In the case the “Stability waiting” is set, the symbol “M” flashes during the
stability waiting. For its setting method, refer to “3 Functions related to the operation”.
(3) When using a tare whose tare weight is already known, the tare weight subtraction can be
performed in advance by inputting its tare weight (preset tare weight subtraction). For its
setting method, refer to “5 User information setting”.
(4) When turning on the power placing a tare that exceeds the zero adjustment range at the
time of power supply, the tare weight subtraction is executed.
(1) Operation of the above (4) is not performed.

2-4 Weighing with an object to be weighed added
Place an added object to be weighed and weigh the weight of the added object.
Performing the tare weight subtraction with the object to be weighed which has been already
weighed makes it possible to weigh the mass of a next object to be weighed with the previous
object to be weighed remaining placed.
1
Place an object to be weighed.
The mass of the object to be weighed placed is
indicated.
2
Perform the tare weight subtraction.
Push the [Tare] key.
The indication changes to zero and the
“ ” symbol lights.
3
Place an additional object to be weighed.
The mass of the added object alone is indicated.
