1. INTRODUCTION 1-1. 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 FC-i / FC-Si counting scales have the following features: The scales have the following high internal resolution for a wider range of counting applications.
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).
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 that the scale is level. RS-232C AC adapter jack Weighing pan OP-02 slot Spirit level Earth terminal Leveling foot Remote scale slot Calibration switch cover OP-03/04 slot 2. Plug in the AC adapter.
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.
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.
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” and remains there until a new unit weight is entered, or the power is disconnected.

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 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 Weight By ID Numbers”. .
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 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 “6-3.” to view or clear the total count.
2. The scale will clear the last M+ addition. If the scale beeps 4 times, there is no M+ addition to erase. 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 and the 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.
This function is not to clear the last M+ addition, but to subtract count data instead of addition. The number of additions is increased. There is no automatic M- function. 7. COMPARATOR FUNCTION The scale contains a comparator function that checks the amount on the weighing pan against set acceptable count or weight 881 levels. When the comparator function is activated, “HI”, “OK” or “LO” is displayed. pcs .
The count display will show the F-Function and its present setting will blink. 4. Use the 0 Æ 6 keys to display the number of the desired setting.

12-6. Using a Bar Code Reader The bar code reader can be connected to the RS-232C interface on the scale. It can read 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.
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.
Tare Weight (g) 19 10 digits including sign and decimal point. Enter a tare weight in “g” directly. Similar to “4-1. Using the KEYBOARD TARE key”. 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.

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.
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. Data Format for the Scale Data “ [ “Space” or “,” will be used to separate these data.

13. OPTIONS 13-1. OP-01 Bar Code Reader The OP-01 includes a bar code reader, RS-232C cable, AC adapter (100V~240V), power plug adapter (US to European plug) and a setting-up bar code sheet. The OP-01 bar code reader can be connected to one of the RS-232C interfaces. It can read bar codes for the ID number, unit weight, tare weight and comparator limits. When the bar code reader reads the ID number, the scale will recall unit weight from ID memory instead of by using the ID key.
Using OP-01 Bar Code Reader 1. Plug the modular connector of RS-232C cable into the port on the bottom of bar code reader, and twist the lock to the right to lock it. 2. Connect the other end of the RS-232C cable to the RS-232C interface of the scale. 3. Plug in the AC adapter for OP-01. AC adapter jack is located at the side of the RS-232C cable connector. 4. Set the F-Function f-06/07/08-01="5" according to the interface you connected. For example, to use Ch.1 (PORT 1), set f-07-01="5". 5.
