 FC-i counting scale:
1/1,000,000
 FC-Si 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 byrecalculating the unit weight when a sample is added. Therefore it is possible toreduce 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 remotescale interface and remote platform.

5 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 aroundthe scale and between the pan and scale casing.

1.3. 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 thatthe 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 iscorrect. 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 isconnected. This keeps the scale always ready for use.

7

Best Conditions For Weighing The scale must be level (check the spirit level on the scale).
 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 remotescale is added. Please refer to “9. CALIBRATION” for more calibration information.

8

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 orthe battery pack, and the display shows a decimal point, the scale is in
the standby mode. In day-to-day operation, standby mode is normalwhen 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 inoperating 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 inStandbymode,a
STANDBY
period appears in the
OPERAT
weight display as anindicator.

USA Version ONLY
The scale can weigh and register the unit weight in pounds or kilograms (it comes set
to pounds "lb"). When you switch between the weighing units, the display will show thecurrent weighing unit, and any weight amounts being used are also converted.

 To change the weighing units between
pounds and kilograms, refer to F-Function
f-00-01. Set at “0” for kg; or at “1” for lb.

1.7. 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” andremains there until a new unit weight is entered, or the power is disconnected. It canbe recalled by the following:

5.1. Store Unit Weight by ID Number

The scale can store up to 500 unit weights by 6 digit ID numbers, from 000001 to
999999. To recall, refer to “3.5. Unit Weight By ID Number”.
 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 total countby setting F-Function f-01-05.
      
1. First register a unit weight by any method– using a sample or via the 10-key pad –and have it displayed.

5.4. 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 countalso 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 Weightby ID Number”.

6. USING THE M+ MEMORY
6.1. 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 thetotal.
 When you view the total by pressing the TOTAL key, you view the number ofpieces accumulated and the number of additions (how many times the total wasadded to). Please refer to “6.2.” and “6.3.” to view or clear the total count.

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 tonear zero before it will let you add again.

 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. Unit
Weight, Tare, Comparator Limits & Total Count Stored”.
 The total count is not stored in the ID memories automaticallyeven if it was recalled by ID number.

To Erase the Last M+ Addition

1. Press and hold the C key, then press
the M+ key – release.
2. The scale will clear the last M+ addition.

Automatic M+ Accumulation Mode

 M+ Accumulation can also be done automatically each time you count a different
batch, As soon as you have a stable count, it will be added to the M+ memory andthe scale will beep. The weight display will have to return to near zero before
another count can be added.
Automatic M+ accumulation is set by F-Function f-03-01 at “1”.
Only positive counts can be added. If F-Function f-03-02 is set at “1” (to accept
negative count data), it will be ignored.
Once there is an automatic M+ accumulation, the display must return to less than
+5d before another count can be accumulated.

9. 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 seasonaltemperature, 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 scaleusing 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 WeightThe scale should have power connected at least one-half hour to warm it up before
starting the calibration procedure.
Calibration

1. Remove the calibration switch cover,and press the calibration (CAL) switch.
The scale shows “Cal” in the countdisplay.

6. Press the CAL switch and re-attach thecalibration switch cover.
(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 thearea where the calibration is to be done.

349.2. Gravity Compensation
When the scale is first used or has been moved to different place, it should becalibrated 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 thevalue 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

11.1. ACAI

Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement

The ACAITM (Automatic Counting Accuracy
Improvement) function recalculates the unit
weight as more pieces are added to
improve count accuracy.
When the scale calculates the unit weightfrom sample pieces, the more sample pieces
that are used, the higher the accuracy.

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 themain scale and vice versa.
 The ACAI function is initially set to manual operation when the unit weight is set digitallyby 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 ordigital input is controlled by F-Function f-02-02. It is initially set at “0”, ACAI manual
operation mode. Set to “1” for automatic operation mode.

11.2. ACAI Automatic Operation
1. To start ACAI automatic
operation, the unit weightmust be registered and thesamples
still
on
the
weighing pan.

As you add, the ACAI
indicator will be ON
as long as you are in
range.

When you stop adding
and the display
becomes STABLE, theACAI 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 thesample pieces and start your counting job.

11.3. 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.

12.6. Using a Bar Code Reader

 The bar code reader can be connected to the RS-232C interface on the scale. It canread bar codes for the ID number, unit weight, tare weight and comparator limits.
 Any of the RS-232C interfaces can be used for the bar code reader.
 Set the F-Function f-06/07/08-01="5" to use a bar code reader.
For example, to use Ch.1 (PORT 1), set f-07-01="5".
 Refer to “13.1. OP-01 Bar Code Reader” about the optional bar code reader.

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 thecheck digit.
 Read the instruction/technical manual of your bar code reader to connect it with thescale.

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 theinvalid 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”.

12.7. 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 "CR" or "CRLF".
 The UFC format data can be sent through one RS-232C interface only.
Set one of f-06/07/08-01 at "6", "7" or "8" to send the data. The others must be set
at "0" ~"5" ("4" will be recommended if the other format data is not necessary tosend).

removed in the step 2 above.
 If you are not using the remote scale for the
moment, attach the protective screw cap to
the remote scale connector.

Load cell

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.

70Specifications for Remote Scale

The scale has the ability of driving up to 4 load cells (350Ω) 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 (350Ω) 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
Rated Output
Min., Division of Display

100kg
3mV/V
0.01kg

“A”
“B”
“D”

5,000 x B x DµVA When a single Load Cell is used,
the following formula should apply:“X”=

 System design will be satisfactory if “X” isgreater 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
 d=1
2≥d’>1  d=2
5≥d’>2  d=5d’>5
 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.

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  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  Change “d” for new resolution 1/No.
d=1  2d=2  5d=5  10  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

USA Version ONLY When the capacity was set by “kg”:
Let capacity x minimum division = Ws x Wd (kg)When:
d = 1, then Wd (lb) = Wd (kg) x 2
d = 2, then Wd (lb) = Wd (kg) x 5/2
d = 5, then Wd (lb) = Wd (kg) x 2
And:
Ws (lb) = Wd (kg) x No
Example: 15kg x 0.002kg, No = 15kg/0.002kg =7,500
Wd (lb) = 0.002 x 5/2 = 0.005 (lb)Ws (lb) = 0.005 (lb) x 7,500 = 37.5 (lb)
 When the capacity was set by “lb”:
Let capacity x minimum division = Ws x Wd (lb)When:d = 1, then Wd (kg) = Wd (lb) x 1/2
d = 2, then Wd (kg) = Wd (lb) x 1/2
d = 5, then Wd (kg) = Wd (lb) x 2/5
And:
Ws (kg) = Wd (lb) x No
Example: 30lb x 0.005lb, No = 30lb/0.005lb =6,000
Wd (kg) = 0.005 x 2/5 = 0.002 (kg)Ws (kg) = 0.002 (kg) x 6,000 = 12 (kg)72

Calibrating the Remote Scale
When a remote scale is newly connected, set the capacity and calibrate the scaleusing a weight.
The scale must be warmed up (plugged in) for at least 30 minutes before starting
calibration.
1. Remove the calibration switch cover, andpress the calibration CAL switch.
The scale shows “CAL” in the count display.
