2.3 Power Connection
2.3.1 Power Adapter
Plug the AC power cord into a properly grounded power outlet. The FBx
Indicator utilizes a universal switching power supply, AC 100-240V
50/60Hz Input, DC 12V 1000mA Output.
2.3.2 Battery Power
The scale can be operated on the internal rechargeable battery when AC
power is not available. The scale will automatically switch to battery
operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. A fully
charged battery can operate the scale for over 16 hours independent of
the AC power line.
When the battery requires charging, Low Battery Indicator is
displayed during operation. When the battery is fully discharged LCD will
display , The scale will automatically turn off. At this time,
please recharge in time, otherwise the scale will not be able to continue to
use.
With AC power applied to the scale, a Yellow led may light up, which

EN-6 FBx Series Bench Scale
means charging is in progress. Turning to a green led indicates that the
battery is fully charged.
It’s not necessary to turn on the power when the scale is during charging
process. It takes 3 hours at least to charge the battery fully.
Before using the scale on battery power for the first time,
the internal rechargeable battery requires charging for up
to 10 hours. The scale can be operated on AC power
adapter during the charging process. The battery is protected against over
charging and the scale can remain connected to the AC power line.
CAUTION
BATTERY IS TO BE REPLACED ONLY BY AUTHORIZED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.
RISK OF EXPLOSION CAN OCCUR IF REPLACED WITH
THE WRONG TYPE OR CONNECTED IMPROPERLY.
2.4 Before Weighing
Whenever possible, allow the scale to warm up more than thirty (30)
minutes. This gives the scale a chance to adjust to its new environment.

3.3 Calibration
The FBx scale is shipped pre-calibrated from the factory. However, many

EN-10 FBx Series Bench Scale
conditions may require that the scale be recalibrated. Temperature
changes, geographic gravity variations and rough handling are few
reasons why a scale may need recalibration.
Notes: 1. Make sure that appropriate calibration masses are available
before beginning calibration.
2. Make sure that the scale is level and stable during the entire
calibration process.
3. Calibration is unavailable with J13 interface is not shorted CAL
jumper .
4. Allow the scale to warm up for more than thirty (30) minutes after
stabilizing to room temperature.
5. To abort calibration, press key anytime during the process.
3.3.1 Any Value Calibration （AnyCal）
AnyCal Calibration uses two points to adjust the scale. One point is called
the zero value where there is no weight on the scale. The other point is
any value that can be set, but it is recommended that the value is not less
than half of the full capacity. The value closest to the full capacity is
recommended to give the best performance over the entire weighing
range.
Follow the steps below to calibrate the FBx scale:
Step 1: To enter the parameter menu mode:

FBx Series Bench Scale EN-11
Open the indicator housing. Shorting the CAL jumper of J13 on the main
PC board. See .Move to position 2-3
Press key to turn on the indicator, the system will enter the self
checking mode.
Press key during appears on the display, the display
will show . The CAL arrow is lighted until the CAL jumper
of J13 is removed and moved over to the left.
Press key to select the setting menu in menu mode.
Press key to allow entry into the displayed menu.
Press key to exit the current setting menu.
Step 2:Press key when appears on the display, the
display will show . This means the system enter the CAL
setting menu.
This menu item is used to set the full capacity and main unit of the scale.
Press key to select the main unit lb or kg.
If a different full capacity value is desired, enter the new value via the
numeric keypad. Please refer to section 3.3.4 about how to input data of

EN-12 FBx Series Bench Scale
“FBx Indicator Manual”.
FBx-C counting indicator can use numeric keypad, FBx-W weighing
indicator can use key to add 1 and key to shift 1.
Values entered refer to Appendix D for typical values of “FBx Indicator
Manual”.
Step 3: The full Capacity and main unit are set, press key to confirm
the setting. The display will show .
This menu item is used to set the calibration weight and calibration unit.
If a different calibration weight is desired, enter the new value via the
numeric keypad. Please refer to section 3.3.4 about how to input data of
“FBx Indicator Manual”.
FBx-C counting indicator can use numeric keypad, FBx-W weighing
indicator can use key to add 1 and key to shift 1.
Press key to select the calibration unit lb or kg.
Note: Calibration value range from 1 kilogram or 1 pound to 100% full
scale are accepted. Suggest that value range is not less than half of 100%
full capacity. Note that values closer to the full capacity will usually yield
the most accurate calibration.
Step 4: Calibration weight and unit are set, press key to confirm the

FBx Series Bench Scale EN-13
setting. The display will show .
This item is set the division. The unit shown is the main unit that is set in
front.
Selections are: 0.01 /0.02 /0.05 /0.1/ 0.2 /0.5 /1 /2 /5 /10 /0.002 /0.005.
After setting the division, the scale will enter the calibration.
Set capacity, main unit , calibration weight, calibration unit and division in
sequence. Refer to 3.6 of “FBx Indicator Manual”.
Step 5: The division is set, press key to confirm the setting. The
display will show a series of digits known as the A/D value.
For example , these numbers will continuously move.
Step 6: Once the display shows the stable indicator ” ”, press the
key, the display will show the calibration weight that you entered in the
upper step 3, flashing.
Step 7: Place the corresponding mass on the platform, after 2 seconds,
stable indicator ” ” is displayed, then press the key the scale will
calibrate.
If calibration was successful, the calibration weight is displayed and the
scale automatically return to the weighing mode. Remove the mass and
begin weighing operations.

EN-14 FBx Series Bench Scale
If calibration fails, please press key to return, then to check if
parameter setting is correct.
Step 8:Turn off the power, then turn on the power again, place a known
weight on the platform to verify if it is accurate.
Step 9: If the weight displayed does not correspond with the value of the
calibration weight, please repeat above steps.
Step 10: After calibration is completed, open the CAL jumper of J13,
re-install the front cover and make sure the liquid-tight connector is tight.
