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:
O 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).
QO 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. |
О Аз power source, you can use an AC adapter or C size dry batteries.
O The counting function easily counts the number of articles of the same weight.
O 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.
Q 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.

Data output mode
0 Stream mode — Function setting “F5-0”
The scale outputs the current display data. The data-update rate is approximately 10
times per second. This rate is the same as the display-update.
The scale does not output data while it is in setting mode.
Q Print switch mode Function setting “F5-2”
When the | PRINT | switch is pressed while the weighing data is stable (STABLE
indicator is on), the scale transmits the data.
D Auto-print mode +/- data Function setting “F5-3"
The scale transmits the weighing data when the display is stable (STABLE indicator
is on) and the data is more than +4d or less than -4d of weight data.
d = minimum weight display (see “12-1 Specifications”)
When in counting mode, “d” is equal to minimum weight display of kg mode.
The next output can be obtained after the display returns to between -4d and +4d.
— H Auto-print mode + data Function setting “F5-4"
The scale transmits the weighing data when the display is stable (STABLE indicator
is on) and the data is more than +4d of weight data.
d = minimum weight display (see “12-1 Specifications”)
When in counting mode, “d” is equal to minimum weight display of kg mode.
The next output can be obtained after the display returns to below +4d.
O Command mode — Function setting “F5-1
In the command mode, the scale is controlled by commands that come from the
personal computer and so on.
