1. COMPLIANCE
Compliance with FCC rules
Please note that this equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy. This equipment has been tested and has been found to comply with the
limits of a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules.
These rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against interference
when equipment is operated in a commercial environment. If this unit is operated in
a residential area it might cause some interference and under these circumstances
the user would be required to take, at his own expense, whatever measures are
necessary to eliminate the interference.

2. INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how this product works and how to get the most out of it in
terms of performance.
The FS-D weighing indicator is used to build high performance check weighing
scales. It has similar specifications and functions as an indicator of the FS-i series.
Please refer to the instruction manual for the FS-i supplied with the FS-D.

3. UNPACKING
Unpack the indicator carefully and keep the packing material if you are likely to
transport the indicator again in the future.
When unpacking, check whether all of the following items are included:
Model label
Indicator (1083014607)
To be attached.
Connector plug
(1JMNJW-165-PM7)
Display stand
Hexagonal wrench
(1.27 mm / 0.05 inch)

4. INSTALLATION and PRECAUTIONS
4-1. Precautions for Installing the Indicator
Ground the indicator so that the user will not be subjected an electric shock.
Do not handle the main power cord with wet hands.
The AC plug is not water-resistant. Install it in an area where it does not get wet.
Do not install the indicator where there is flammable or corrosive gas present.
Do not install the indicator under water.
Do not pull, fold or arrange cables forcibly.
Use shielded cables for all connections.
Ground the platform to be connected to the indicator to avoid a risk of electric shock.
2. Put the load cell cable through each parts of the connector taking care of their order
and directions.
3. Remove the sheath and wire covering of the load cell cable referring to the drawing
below.
The external diameter of the applicable load cell cable is Ø5.7 ~ Ø6.8 mm.
5
4. Solder the wires to the pin contacts of the connector.
A 5 m or less load cell cable is recommended as the
FS-D uses a 4 wire system (no remote sensing).

Earth
terminal
Clamp
Clamp
Connect the main power cord to an outlet that has an earth ground terminal. You
may use the earth terminal on the rear side of the display to ground the indicator.
If necessary, adjust the viewing angle of the display by loosening the 2 clamps,
changing the angle and re-tightening the clamps.
The Display stand can be secured on a table or flat surface using screws (not
supplied). It can be also used as a wall-mounting bracket. See “11-3. Dimensions”
about the dimensions of the mounting holes.

To design a platform scale, set the capacity, weighing Parameter
unit and other functions according to the specifications
of the scale.
Normally, end users do not have to set these function

7. CALIBRATION
This function adjusts the scale (indicator) for accurate weighing.
Calibration must be done when the FS-D is initially connected to a load cell (base unit).
Calibration may also be required according the changes in the environment.
CAL switch cover
When the scale (indicator) has been moved.
When the ambient environment has
significantly changed.
For regular calibration.
Note
The value set in step 7 will be cleared after the power is switched off.
If the indicator will be moved to another location, set the gravity
acceleration value for the current location and calibrate the indicator
according to the procedure above. See the next section to set the value.
13
8. AUTO-TARE FUNCTION
The FS-D has an auto-tare function to be used with the comparator function enabled.
If the weight value is within the OK range and stable for a preset time, then the
indicator will automatically tare the weight and show zero. The Function “f22”
designates the timing to tare automatically. See “9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION”
about the added F-Function settings related to the auto-tare function.
To use the auto-tare function, set the function settings below.
f08-1: Compare all weighing data (other settings may be used depending on
the application).
f21-1: Auto-tare function enabled.
f22-0 ~ 9: Select the timing to tare automatically to avoid the wrong tare
operation, for example; too early to tare, to take a longer time to go to
the next weighing and so on.
HI OK LO
Note To start the take-away check weighing, be sure to use the TARE key to tare
the weight of the container filled with material. The ZERO key may zero the
display, and the indicator goes below the zero point by taking out the material.
Then, the auto-tare function does not work.
When the Function “f23-1 Tares the initial (container) weight.” is set:
To start the auto-tare function application, usually the container (filled with material) will
be placed on the weighing pan and its weight must be tared using the TARE key.
When the Function “f23-1” is set, the indicator will tare the initial (container) weight
automatically.
Remove all load on the weighing pan to return to the zero point, the tare weight will be
automatically cleared. If the indicator could not return to the zero point because of a
zero shift, press the ZERO key to clear the tare weight.
If the indicator is equipped with the optional RS-232C interface, the OK weighing data
only can be sent out automatically. Set the Function setting “f06-7 Auto-print mode
+/- data”.

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This section describes the additional functions and corrections to the instruction manual of
FS-i series (WM+PD4001332 and 1WMPD4001368) which are common to the FS-D.

10. ERROR MESSAGES
Overload error
Warning to indicate that an object beyond the weighing
----e--- capacity has been placed on the weighing pan. Remove
the object from the weighing pan.
Power-on error
Warning to indicate that an object beyond the power-on
-------- zero range (50% of the weighing capacity or 10%) is
placed on the weighing platform. Remove the object from
the weighing pan.
Pressing the PRINT/ENT key, the indicator will show
the weight value without zeroing the indicator.
Low battery
Warning to show that the OP-02 battery is discharged.
---lb1-- Immediately connect the power cord to the AC power
source to charge the battery. The indicator can be used
while the battery is charging (except when the OP-04 is
installed).
CAL error
Warning to indicate that the calibration has been
---Cal-e canceled because the calibration weight is too light.
Check if the calibration weight is correct.
Other errors
Showing errors inside the indicator. Check the
---err-# connection between the indicator and platform, and turn
the power off and on with nothing on the weighing
platform. (# signifies an error number.)
When the indicator does not recover from errors or shows other errors, contact your
local A&D dealer.
