8. CHECK WEIGHING

The FS-iseries provides for easy check weighing of products. There are two comparison modes according to number of parameters to set, “Target weight setting mode” and ”Upper & lower limits weight setting mode”. The comparator results are indicated by HI (yellow), OK (green) or LO (red) lights on the display. The results are also audible by the buzzer inside the scale.

The analog sweep display will help to see where the weight is in the OK range or how far from the OK range. See “19. ANALOG SWEEP DISPLAY” in detail.

If the optional OP-03 or OP-04 is installed, comparator relay output is also available.

‰It is necessary to set the "comparator function (F8-0 ~ F8-6)" parameters, upper limit (HI), lower limit (LO) and target weight (Target weight setting mode only) in advance to use comparator function.

‰Select the operating conditions to compare (see the Function F8).

F8-0: Comparator OFF.

F8-1: Compare when weight is stable or moving.

F8-2: Compare when weight is stable. (STABLE annunciator lit.)

F8-3: Compare when weight is stable or moving and more than +4d or less than -4d.

F8-4: Compare when weight is stable and more than +4d or less than -4d.

F8-5: Compare when weight is stable or moving and more than +4d above zero.

F8-6: Compare when weight is stable and more than +4d above zero. d = minimum weight display in “kg”. (see “12-1 Specifications”)

‰If necessary, use the buzzer sound for comparator results. The Function set the buzzer to sound with which result (see the Function F9).

‰The brightness of comparator lights is adjustable. See the Function F15 to adjust.

8-1. Target weight setting mode

The TARGET WEIGHT SETTING MODE uses a target weight and +/- deviation from the target. The target weight is entered via the 10-key pad or a sample product to be weighed. The upper (HI) and lower (LO) limits are entered via the 10-key pad. Those will be deviation weight or % of the target weight.

‰Set the Function setting “F7-1 Target weight setting mode with HI/LO limit weight” or “F7-2 Target weight setting mode with HI/LO limit % of the target weight”.

‰The formula to compare is as follows:

LO < Lower limit value ” OK ” Upper limit value < HI

Lower limit value = Target weight – LO limit

Upper limit value = Target weight + HI limit

FS-15Ki, FS-6Ki, FS-30Ki specifications

A&D FS-30Ki, FS-6Ki, and FS-15Ki are high-precision digital scales designed to cater to a variety of weighing needs across different environments. Manufactured by A&D Company, Ltd., a pioneer in measurement and control technologies, these scales come equipped with a range of advanced features that enhance accuracy, usability, and durability.

The FS-30Ki is notable for its impressive capacity and precision, capable of handling weights up to 30 kilograms with a readability of 1 gram. This makes it ideal for industries such as food service, laboratory research, and logistics where precise measurements are critical. The scale also boasts a large, easy-to-read LCD display that provides clear readings, even in varying lighting conditions.

On the other hand, the FS-6Ki is designed for lighter weighing tasks, with a maximum capacity of 6 kilograms and a readability of 0.1 gram. Its compact size and lightweight design make it a perfect fit for smaller workspaces, making it suitable for craft shops, culinary applications, and healthcare settings where precise dosing is essential.

The FS-15Ki offers a middle ground, with a capacity of 15 kilograms and a readability of 0.5 grams. This versatility allows it to be utilized in diverse environments including educational institutions and industrial applications.

All three models incorporate A&D’s advanced “Easy Calibration” technology, which simplifies the calibration process, ensuring consistent accuracy over time. Additionally, they feature built-in overload protection, safeguarding the scales against damage from excessive weights.

Another significant characteristic of the FS series is their user-friendly interface, which allows for quick and easy operation. Each model includes multiple weighing modes, including tare functionality, which lets users subtract the weight of containers for net weight measurements.

These scales are also designed for durability, featuring a solid construction that can withstand everyday use in various settings, from bustling kitchens to laboratories. The scales are powered by AC power or batteries, allowing for versatile placement and portability.

In summary, A&D FS-30Ki, FS-6Ki, and FS-15Ki scales are an excellent investment for professionals demanding reliability and precision in their weighing tasks. Their combined features of ease of use, advanced technology, and robust design make them suitable choices for a wide range of applications.
