1. INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how the FX-i series balance works and how to get the most out of it in terms of performance.

Read this manual thoroughly before using the balance and keep it at hand for future reference.

1-1 About This Manual

This manual consists of the following five parts:

Basic operation

Describes precautions on handling the balance, balance

 

construction and basic balance operation.

Adapting to the environment....

Describes response adjustment and calibration.

Functions

Describes various functions of the balance.

RS-232C serial interface

Describes the interface which transmits data and controls the balance.

Maintenance

Describes maintenance, error codes, troubleshooting,

 

specifications and options.

1-2 Features

Compact general-purpose balance, can be installed almost anywhere.

Casing construction, strong protection against dust and moisture.

Stabilization time of one second. When FAST is selected for the response rate, a stabilization time of one second, to read a displayed value after a sample is placed on the pan, has been achieved.

Multiple weighing units with most of the common units used around the world.

Standard RS-232C serial interface to communicate with a computer and to output the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) data

Statistical calculation mode to statistically calculate the weight data, and display or output the sum, maximum, minimum, range (maximum-minimum), average, standard deviation and coefficient of variation.

Comparator Indicators, displaying the comparison results.

Hold Function, provided for weighing a moving object such as an animal. Breeze break, provided for the FX-120i/200i/300i, for more accurate weighing. Underhook, provided for suspended weighing.

As options, the USB interface (FXi-02), the Ethernet interface (Fxi-08) and the built-in battery unit (Fxi-09) are available.

1-3 Compliance

Compliance with FCC Rules

Please note that this device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. This device 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 this device is operated in a commercial environment. If this unit is operated in a residential area, it may cause some interference and under these circumstances the user would be required to take, at his own expense, whatever measures are necessary to eliminate the interference.
