* Notes: After the balance power is turned on, the instrument is already in the preheating state
and the switch button on the switch panel only acts as the display switch. The power supply
needs to be unplugged if the instrument is not to be used for a long time(more than 5 days).
When the display is open, the object can be directly weighed without the need to warm up.

4. Operation Instructions
4.1. Preparation before Use

• After unpacking, remove the packing and install the weighing pan;

• Keep the balance on a stable, vibration-free workbench, avoid direct sunlight, severe

temperature fluctuations and air convection, and keep away from the doors, windows, radiators

and air conditioning outlet as far as possible;

• All electronic scales are equipped with a level and two level adjustment knobs to compensate
for the minor unevenness of the weighing table. When the horizontal bubble is placed in the

center of the level, the electronic balance is at the level state;

Note: The level should be readjusted to the level whenever the balance is moved to the new

position.

Working temperature:

Class balance: 20 ℃ ± 2.5 ℃, the temperature fluctuations of not more than 1 ℃ / h;

Class balance: 20 ℃ ± 7.5 ℃, the temperature fluctuations of not more than 5 ℃ / h;

• Relative humidity: Class balance:50% to 70%, Class balance: 50% to 80%

• The balance will need to be warmed up for more than 30 minutes after energized, and should

be calibrated before weighing to ensure the stability and accuracy of the weighing.

4.3.1.ON/OFF
After the instrument is energized, it will enter the preheating state. Then the LCD display

will show "30.00" (the instrument preheating countdown), and the backlight will be off after 7

seconds. The instrument needs to be warmed up to 30 minutes when the display is first opened.

After the preheating, press the button once to switch it on. The instrument can be turned

on immediately if long pressed (≥ 3S more than 3 seconds) the button. The instrument

will have full screen display, and then display models, BOOT .... system initialization, and enter the

main interface of the instrument as shown below:

Note: The ON/OFF switch can only turn on/off the display panel. The display will be automatically

turned off if not operated for more than 5 minutes. Press the ON/OFF button if the display need

to be reopen.

Do not unplug the power if the instrument is frequently used. Unplug the power if the

instrument is not to be used for over 5 days.

4.3.2 Settings

Press to enter the instrument function settings menu, see below:

 Press to change setting items，i.e.“UC01、UC02… …”,

Press to change the specific setting item parameters, i.e.“01、02… …”,

The specific function options are as follows:
① UC01 represents the weighing mode selection, and the instrument contains six weighing
modes, as follows:
UC01 01: Basic weighing mode;
UC01 02: PCS mode;
UC01 03: density weighing mode;
UC01 04: Checkweighing mode;
UC01 05: Percentage mode;

③ UC03 represents the temperature unit selection, and the instrument contains two kinds of

temperature units, as follows:

UC03 01: degrees Celsius (° C);

UC03 02: Fahrenheit (° F).

Note: This temperature is the internal temperature of the instrument sensor. When the

temperature changes dramatically, LCD will display icon, which won’t disappear unless

the instrument is calibrated before use.

④ UC04 represents the weighing resolution selection, and two kinds of resolution can be

selected, as follows:

UC04 01: 0.0001g;

UC04 02: 0.001g

 Note: FA series has this function, while JA series does not have this function.

UC05 04: 9600 bps;

UC05 05: 11520 bps.

⑥ UC06 represents the data delete settings, and the specific operation is as follows:

The customer can choose to delete the stored data with setup mode UC06. Press the key

once to delete all the saved data, and then the LCD displays symbol, which means

the data has been deleted.

⑦ UC07 represents reset, and the specific operation is as follows:

When the instrument appears illegal operation or abnormal symbol, it can be reset and then

re-calibrated: enter the setting mode UC07, then press the print button once to reset it, and

re-power to start the instrument.

4.3.3 Calibration

① FA-B series are adjusted with the external standard calibration weights.

 Press the key once, and then "CAL-XXX" is displayed.

 Load the indicated calibration weight (in accordance with Table 1 and Table 2 standard). The

symbol is displayed to indicate the completion of span calibration. Remove the

calibration weight from the weighing pan.

 If the symbol is displayed to indicate calibration failure, please check whether the

calibration weight is the corresponding model, and then re-calibrate it.

② FA-C series can be adjusted with the built-in calibration weight.

 The instrument can be calibrated both with external weights and built-in calibration weights.

 Press the key once, and then is displayed.

 Wait until the symbol disappear, and is displayed to indicate the completion

of span calibration.

 Long press the key to enter the external calibration weights mode( ibid 4.3.3-①).
Note: When the calibration error occurs, please check whether the pan is empty and the

calibration weights are correct. If the re-calibration still fails, please contact the manufacturer for

maintenance.

4.3.4 Zero and Taring

① Zero: When the balance is not loaded, press the Zero key can set the balance to zero. When

the instrument is turned on, zeroing occurs automatically if the displayed value is within the

zero range 20% (of the instrument full scale), and manual zeroing needs 4% of the full range.

② Taring: When the balance is loaded, press the Taring key can set the balance to zero. The

instrument maximum taring range is the full scale weight.

4.3.5 Data storage and Check-up

① Data storage: the instrument can store the current weighing data.

 Press the key once when the stability symbol appears, the current data can be

saved, and the upper right corner will display the data storage label "M + XXX" for late

inquiries. The instrument can store 100 groups data, and when the data storage is full, the

data can be deleted (refer to UC06 operating procedures).

② Check-up: Press the key once, the saved data can be looked back. The upper right

corner will display the last saved data label "RM XXX". Press the key or to go up or

down the saved data. Press the key once can finish the check-up mode.

4.3.6 Printing

The data of the instrument can be printed by the thermal printer.

 Connected the printer to the serial port of the instrument.

 Set the baud rate of the instrument according to the standard printer (the specific baud rate

can refer to UC05).

 Press the key to print the current weighing data.

4.4. Weighing modes

The instrument contains six weighing modes to meet the needs of different customers: basic

weighing mode, PCS mode, density mode, checkweighing mode, percentage mode, and animal

weighing mode.

4.4.1 Basic weighing mode

 The instrument needs to be warmed up for 30 minutes after power on.

 Turn on the display and calibrate the instrument (refer to 4.3.3). The display panel will

50PCS, 100PCS five options (If the sample weight is too small, 20PCS、50PCS、100PCS are

recommended).

 Put the object on the pan according to the displayed number of samples, waiting until the

symbol appears.

 Press the key, and the current value of samples is displayed on the weighing pan.

Note: When counting relatively heavy samples, the number of object put into the pan should not

be too much to avoid exceeding the maximum weighing range of the instrument.
