Introduction

Thank you for your Purchase!

This manual describes the functions of your counting scale and how to get the most out of it. Read this manual carefully before use.

Features

The FCi / FC-S i counting scales have the following features:

The scales have the following high internal resolution for a wider range of counting applications.

FCi counting scale: 1/1,000,000

FC-S i counting scale: Up to 1/10,000,000

There are the following ways to enter a unit weight (of the sample piece).

The way to weigh a fixed number of samples like 5 pieces, 10 pieces and so on.

The way to weigh the desired number of samples.

The way to store the desired unit weight directly using the 10-key pad.

The way to recall the stored unit weight from ID memory.

The way to send the desired unit weight from a personal computer.

The way to use a bar code reader to designate an ID number to enter the unit weight directly.

Three UNIT WEIGHT BY LED's will navigate you to store a unit weight easily.

ACAI (Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement) supports counting by recalculating the unit weight when a sample is added. Therefore it is possible to reduce the counting error.

The scale has a large bright vacuum fluorescent display and can show information for piece count, weight, unit weight, ID number, item code and comparator result at the same time.

UP to 500 ID memories can store 6 digits ID numbers, consisting of 12 digit item code

(alphanumeric), unit weight, tare weight and comparator limits.

Comparator function:

Compare a count or weight

Comparator limits can be changed temporarily using the 10-key pad.

Comparator relay output is also available using an optional interface.

Accumulation function for counting.

Standard RS-232C interface and optional interfaces (up to 3 ch. RS-232C available) to communicate with a personal computer, printer and bar code reader expanding the counting application.

A two-scale counting system can be constructed using the optional a remote scale interface and remote platform.

3

It is possible to send the time and date to a computer connected to the RS-232C interface using the scale's built-in clock.

The optional rechargeable battery pack (Ni-MH) is useful for portable operation.

1-2.

Unpacking

Unpack the scale carefully and keep the packing material if you are likely to transport the scale again in the future.

In the carton you should find this manual plus:

The counting scale.

An AC adapter (check that the AC input rating is correct).

Remove the protective packing materials from around the scale and between the pan and scale casing.

Setting Up Your Scale

1. Place the scale on a suitable weighing surface (Refer to

Best Conditions For

Weighing

of next page) and turn the adjustable feet until the spirit level shows that the scale is level.

2. Plug in the AC adapter. The AC input requirements could be l00, 120, 220, 230 or

240 Volts (50/60Hz) depending on where used, so, please check that the adapter is correct. Ground the scale to avoid a problem with the static electricity.

The display comes ON

After running through a self-check that will show various segments, the weighing display will appear.

3. Please leave the scale with the AC adapter connected for at least thirty minutes before use. We call this situation "warm up".

If desired: press the STANDBY/OPERATE key to turn the display off.

Remember that the scale will always be warmed up as long as the AC adapter is connected. This keeps the scale always ready for use.

Best Conditions For Weighing

The scale must be level (check the spirit level on the scale).

5

Best operating temperature is between 20°C~25°C / 68°F~77°F at about 50%~60% relative humidity. There shouldn’t be large temperature fluctuations.

The weighing room should be kept clean and dry.

The weighing table must be of a solid construction.

Corners of rooms are best as they are less prone to vibrations.

Don’t install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.

Don’t install the scale in direct sunshine.

Try to ensure a stable AC power supply when using the AC adapter.

Keep equipment containing magnets away from the scale.

Warm up the scale before use or leave it on standby overnight.

Ground the scale chassis for electrostatic discharge if the weighing conditions warrant.

Calibration

Calibration of the scale is required when the scale is initially installed, or if a remote scale is added. Please refer to “ 9

. CALIBRATION

” for more calibration information.

1-4.

Standby and Operating Mode

The scale has two principal modes: Standby mode and operating mode.

Standby mode : When the scale has power supplied to it, either by the AC Adapter or the battery pack, and the display shows a decimal point, the scale is in the standby mode. In day-to-day operation, standby mode is normal when the scale is not in use. This keeps the weighing mechanism warmed up.

Operating mode : If the display is turned on from standby mode, then the scale is in operating mode.

If the scale is not going to be used for a long period of time, then it may be appropriate to disconnect the main power.

Use the STANDBY/OPERATE key to turn the display on or off.

When the scale is in

Standby mode, a period appears in the weight display as an indicator.

Last Unit Weight Used Feature

There are a number of ways to register a unit weight to count. The scale has a feature to keep the last unit weight used in memory. This can be handy if you turn the scale display off and then want to return to the same unit weight, or you accidentally clear the unit weight by pressing the RESET key.

When a unit weight is registered it is automatically placed in the ID “ id-000000

” and remains there until a new unit weight is entered, or the power is disconnected. It can be recalled by the following:

1. When three UNIT WEIGHT BY LED’s are blinking at display ON, or if the RESET key

UNIT WEIGHT BY has been pressed;

2. Press the ID key.

" id-000000

Unit Weight, Tare, Comparator Limits & Total Count

Stored

The scale is initially set to store the ID numbers with a unit weight and an item code only. However, it can be set to store a tare weight, comparator limits and/or total count also by setting F-Function f-01-05

.

1. First register a unit weight and a tare weight by any method. If necessary, set the comparator limits and use the M+ accumulation.

2. Go to step 2 of section “

5-1. Store Unit

USING THE M+ MEMORY

The M+ Memory Function

The scale can accumulate count data by pressing the M+ key, or automatically

(refer to the next page). It also keeps track of the number of times you add to the total.

When you view the total by pressing the TOTAL key, you view the number of pieces accumulated and the number of additions (how many times the total was added to). Please refer to “

6-2.

” and “

” to view or clear the total count.

Adding Using the M+ Key

When stable count data is displayed:

1. Press the M+ key.

The M+ indicator will blink for a few seconds.

2. Press the M+ key every time you want to add to the count. Remember that you may only add the count data once – the scale must return to near zero before it will let you add again.

L The M+ key is accepted only once for every stable count data.

Once accepted, the M+ key is prohibited until the display returns to less than +5d (1d = 1 weighing division).

If f-03-02

is set at “1”, then the M+ key can accumulate negative data. Once the M+ key is accepted, weight data must return within ±5d before the next accumulation.

 To store the total count in the ID number, refer to “ 5-4

CALIBRATION

Calibration of the scale is required when it is initially installed, if it is moved often, or it is moved a substantial distance. Calibration is also necessary in regular scale maintenance due to normal mechanical wear-and-tear, changes in seasonal temperature, humidity, air pressure, etc.

The scale is equipped with gravity compensation, which allows it to be calibrated in one location and then adjusted to match the gravity acceleration at another location where it will be used. But don’t worry about this, as far as you calibrate the scale using a calibration weight and use it at same place.

The scale must perform "warm up" (with the AC adapter connected) for at least 30 minutes before starting calibration.

9-1.

Calibration Procedure Using a Weight

The scale should have power connected at least one-half hour to warm it up before starting the calibration procedure.

1. Remove the calibration switch cover, and press the calibration (CAL) switch.

The scale shows “ Cal ” in the count display.

4. Making sure that there is nothing on, or touching the weighing pan, press the ENTER key.

When zero calibration is completed, the display will show “ Cal f ”.

If you don’t need span calibration, press the

CAL switch to exit from the calibration procedure.

5. Place the calibration weight on the weighing pan and press the ENTER key.

When span calibration is completed, the display will show “ Calibration End ”.

If the calibration weight is not what it should be, an error will be displayed. Check if the weight is correct and try again.

(End of the calibration procedure.)

If the scale will be moved to another place, set the gravity acceleration value before calibration. The value must be of the area where the calibration is to be done.

Gravity Compensation

When the scale is first used or has been moved to different place, it should be calibrated using a calibration weight.

But if the calibration weight cannot be prepared, the gravity acceleration correction will compensate the scale. Change the gravity acceleration value of the scale to the value of the area where it will be used. Refer to the gravity acceleration map appended to the end of this manual.

1. In step 1 of the previous procedure, press the TARE key.

The display flashes the gravity acceleration value stored in the scale.

ACAI Notes

You must do the ACAI procedure just after you set the unit weight. The samples must be still on the weighing pan.

Do not take the samples off until the end of the ACAI procedure.

You don’t have to count out the pieces when you add, just stay within the ACAI range.

Continue the ACAI procedure to reach the largest amount that you will be counting.

If you want the most precise counting results for every different batch of the same items, use ACAI every time you start counting the next batch.

The ACAI does not work when you use a remote scale if the unit weight was set on the main scale and vice versa.

The ACAI function is initially set to manual operation when the unit weight is set digitally by the keyboard, by ID memory or using computer via the serial interface. This can be set to the automatic mode. The ACAI mode when the unit weight is entered by ID or digital input is controlled by F-Function f-02-02

. It is initially set at “

”, ACAI manual operation mode. Set to “

” for automatic operation mode.

2. Add pieces within the nearest

ACAI range (refer to table below). A good rule of thumb is to roughly double the amount on the weighing pan.

When you stop adding and the display becomes STABLE, the

ACAI indicator will blink.

After the new unit weight is calculated, the indicator will disappear,

3. Continue adding pieces within the ACAI range until you have reached a sample size as large as the largest number of pieces that you will be counting.

When you have added the maximum number of pieces required, remove the sample pieces and start your counting job.

ACAI Manual Operation

The ACAI procedure can also be controlled manually. The ACAI will not recalculate the unit weight until the ENTER key is pressed (as long as it is at the proper time and the guidelines in the ACAI notes have been followed).

The ACAI manual mode is controlled by F-Function f-02-01

, set at “

2

”.

To start ACAI manual operation, the unit weight must be registered and the samples still on the weighing pan.

1. Add pieces within the nearest ACAI range

(refer to table in the previous section). The

ACAI indicator will stay ON as long as you are within the ACAI range.

Do not use RS-232C adapter/cable to connect the bar cod reader (OP-01) to the

RS-232C interface on the scale.

Some bar codes will have start and stop characters. But, set your bar code reader not to send those characters to the scale. The scale doesn’t accept such data.

EAN/JAN/UPC bar codes usually have a check digit and other bar codes may have either. But, set your bar code reader not to send the check digit. The scale doesn’t accept such data. If sent, the scale cannot tell the difference between data and the check digit.

55

Read the instruction/technical manual of your bar code reader to connect it with the scale.

Bar Code Data and Format

The bar code data that the scale accepts are ID number, unit weight, tare weight and comparator limits.

The bar code has "2 digit identification code + 6 digit numbers" for the ID number and "2 digit identification code + maximum 10 digit numbers including sign and decimal point" for the other data.

The unit weight and tare weight must be within 6 digits, except insignificant zeros.

Unit weight 123.456 g: “12+123.456” acceptable

Tare weight 10 kg: “15+10” acceptable

The comparator limits must be within 7 digits, except insignificant zeros.

Upper limit: “17+123” acceptable

If the EAN/JAN/UPC-A is used for ID number, put leading zeros (that are “0” for the high-order digits) to keep the necessary digit number.

Example of ID number “000123”

UPC-A 01000000123[5] shows check digit)

When the data from bar code reader is not acceptable, the scale will beep 4 times.

The data contains too many digits or too many significant digits.

The data contains invalid identification code.

The data is out of range. (The tare data is more than the capacity, etc.)

The tare or unit weight has a minus sign.

The data has start / stop characters or a check digit. These will lead to the invalid identification code, too many digits and so on.

The check digit may be accepted as a wrong number.

Do not set the bar code reader to send the check digit.

Example: EAN-8 / 0100123[5] ([5] is a check digit) can be accepted as ID number

“001235”.

Using UFC (Universal Flex Coms) Function

The UFC function allows you to print out as you format the printer (UFC format).

The scale can store the UFC format as text data. It will include parameters to replace with the count data, weight data and so on.

The maximum number of text data is 384 characters.

Using “PF” command, the text data has to be sent to the scale in advance.

When the PRINT key is pressed or by auto-print mode A/B, the scale will send the stored text data with the parameters replaced by the original data.

Terminator for the “PF” command is "C

Example: #04 “EOT” of ASCII code

Repeat data

The control codes $SP, $CR and $LF can be used with “ + maximum 2 digit number”. That code will be repeated the number of times designated.

Example: $LF 9 Repeat “$LF” 9 times.

$SP 12 Put 12 “Spaces”.

Link mark “&”

If you will send more than 2 lines of data, attach “&” to the end of the first line. Then, the scale considers the data to be continued.

“Space” or “,” will be used to separate these data. You can skip them, but you cannot skip “,” after “PF”. You must start with “PF,”.

Before getting to low battery, the display will show “ lo bat ” on and off to indicate that the battery power is coming close to low battery.

The STANDBY/OPERATE key only turns the display on or off (and keeps the scale warmed up on standby). When the scale is not used for a long periods, switch the battery switch to "OFF" position.

Recharging the Battery

1. Turn the battery switch off on the battery pack.

65

2. Fully loosen the lock screw and remove the battery.

If you want to recharge the battery while it is still in the scale, you may do so. In that case, disregard step 2 – but do not turn the battery switch on. If you wish to use the scale, connect another AC adapter.

3. Connect the AC adapter to the battery pack.

The battery pack will take about 15 hours to fully charge.

Charge the battery pack at a temperature between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).

Do not charge too long as overcharging will reduce the life of batteries.

Be sure to charge the battery pack when using for the first time or if it was not used for long time (more than one month). Two or three times of recharging may be needed to reach full charge.

Be sure to use the AC adapter that is provided with the scale.

Notes on Using the Remote Scale

To get a highly accurate counting unit weight, use the main scale to register the unit weight and use ACAI feature. After registration, switch to the remote scale to count.

If f-01-03 is set at “ 1 ”, then the scale will automatically switch to the remote scale after the unit weight (by sample pieces) is registered by the main scale.

Pressing the SAMPLE key will always return to the main scale.

Be aware that both the main and remote scales have separate tare values. So, if you want to use a tare container on both, it must be tared on both.

F-Function f-01-06

can be set so the remote scale has an independent unit weight, or is restricted to the same as the main scale.

69

Specifications for Remote Scale

The scale has the ability of driving up to 4 load cells (350

Ω

) in a remote scale

(platform). Set for the capacity range 0.5kg to 5,000kg (1 lb to 10,000 lb).

The scale has the ability of driving up to 4 load cells (350

Ω

) in a remote scale

(platform).

Capacity range for the remote scale is 0.5kg to 5,000kg (1 lb to 10,000 lb).

Minimum output at zero point is 1mV.

Maximum output at full load is 14mV.

Excitation Voltage of the scale is 5V.

Cable length should be kept under 5m (16.5 ft.) for higher accuracy.

Pin connection (JM:NJC-207-PF):

The Load Cell and Input Sensitivity

The relationship between load cell and input sensitivity ( X ) for the scale is follows:

Example Load Cell Capacity 100kg “ A ”

Min., Division of Display

3mV/V

0.01kg

“ B ”

“ D ”

When a single Load Cell is used, the following formula should apply:

5,000 x x D

“ X ”= µV

A

System design will be satisfactory if “ X ” is greater than 0.5µV. In the example above

“ X ” = 1.5µV.

Capacity and Resolution

The resolution of the remote scale is automatically determined during the calibration procedure. The following is to enable you to calculate the resolution for a given capacity.

1. Decide the capacity value and assign it to “Ws”. Maximum 5 digits.

2. Get the maximum count “Ns” for the capacity. Ignore the decimal point and add “0” to Ws until it is 5 digits.

3. Calculate: d’=Ns/10,000.

4. Decide the minimum division “d”. d’=1 Æ d=1

2 ≥ d’>1 Æ d=2

5 ≥ d’>2 Æ d=5 d’>5 Æ d=10 This should be changed to d=1, dividing Ns by 10.

5. Now “Ns x d” and the resolution 1/No = d/Ns can be determined.

70

Step Parameters Example 1 Example 2 Example 3

2 Ns 20,000 30,000 60,000

30,000 x 5

1/6,000

6,000 x 1

6. Calculate the voltage sensitivity “Es”.

Es = (As-Ao) x 5,000 x 1/No (µV) [5,000 means excitation voltage 5V]

Ao: Load cell output at zero point (mV/V)

As: Load cell output at full capacity (mV/V)

7. Check the voltage sensitivity “Es”.

Es ≥ 0.5µV Æ Calculated “Ns x d” is fixed. In example 3 in the step 5, a 600kg x

0.1kg scale will be obtained.

Es<0.5µV Æ Change “d” for new resolution 1/No. d=1 Æ 2 d=2

Æ

5 d=5 Æ 10 Æ 1 (dividing “Ns” by 10)

In example 1, the new d=5: 1/No=d/Ns=5/20,000=1/4,000 (200kg x 0.05kg)

In example 2, the new d=1 and Ns=3,000: 1/No=d/Ns=1/3,000 (30kg x

0.01kg)

Using the new 1/No, go to step 6 and repeat it until Es ≥ 0.5µV in step

7.

Remote Scale kg/lb relationship

When the capacity was set by “kg”:

Let capacity x minimum division = Ws x W d (kg)

When: d = 1, then W d (lb) = W d (kg) x 2 d = 2, then W d (lb) = W d (kg) x 5/2 d = 5, then W d (lb) = W d (kg) x 2

And:

Ws (lb) = W d (kg) x No

Example: 15kg x 0.002kg, No = 15kg/0.002kg =7,500

W d (lb) = 0.002 x 5/2 = 0.005 (lb)

Ws (lb) = 0.005 (lb) x 7,500 = 37.5 (lb)

USA Version ONLY

When the capacity was set by “lb”:

Let capacity x minimum division = Ws x W d (lb)

When: d = 1, then W d (kg) = W d (lb) x 1/2 d = 2, then W d (kg) = W d (lb) x 1/2 d = 5, then W d (kg) = W d (lb) x 2/5

And:

Ws (kg) = W d (lb) x No

Example: 30lb x 0.005lb, No = 30lb/0.005lb =6,000

Calibrating the Remote Scale

When a remote scale is newly connected, set the capacity and calibrate the scale using a weight.

The scale must be warmed up (plugged in) for at least 30 minutes before starting calibration.

1. Remove the calibration switch cover, and press the calibration CAL switch.

The scale shows “CAL” in the count display.

Press the CAL switch to exit without calibrating the scale.
