Standard-Level Precision Balances-Japan (0.001 g)

Model: FZ-500i

Brand: A&D Company Limited

Country of Origin: Japan

High Performance and Functionality You Can Afford

Built on A&D’s cutting-edge sensor technology, the FZ-i series is a highly robust precision balance that delivers fast and accurate weighing without any frills, offering cost-effective solutions for a diverse array of applications.

Compact footprint: 198 mm × 294 mm

By taking advantage of our Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS) technology, A&D significantly reduced the size of a precision balance—25% smaller footprint than our conventional models, making it ideal for installation and use in confined spaces.

High-speed weighing with 1-second stabilization

The C-SHS combines the best of magnetic force restoration and single point parallelogram load sensing technologies. This allows the C-SHS to realize a stabilization speed of just 1 second while maintaining extremely high span stability. The FZ-i series will maximize your productivity and efficiency.

Guarded against accidental overloading

An internal shock absorber 1 protects the C-SHS from the adverse effects of vertical and transverse overloading. This is especially effective if the balance is embedded in an automated weighing system where actuator malfunctions are a possibility.

RS-232C interface (standard)

Bi-directional communication is possible with a PC, printer or other peripheral devices.

Multiple units of measure

You can easily select from: g, oz, lb, lb-oz, ozt, ct, mom, dwt, gr, pcs (counting mode), % (percent mode) and a user-programmable unit for conversion applications. One additional unit from tl, tol, or N can be added upon request.

Statistical calculation function (SCF)

The balance can display and output statistical calculation data including number of data, sum, maximum, minimum, range (maximum–minimum), average, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation to facilitate the analysis of measurements.

Adjustable response characteristics and hold function

From three preset combinations of weighing speed and stability (FAST, MID, or SLOW), select the one that best suits your environmental conditions (drafts and vibrations). A hold function is also available for weighing animals.

Automatic counting accuracy improvement (ACAI)

For the counting function, the balance recalculates the average unit weight as samples are added to eliminate errors caused by variations in unit weight.
