A&D FC-500i (FC500i) Counting Scale, 1 lb / 500 g x 0.05 g, ACAI, RS-232C

Description

A&D FC-500i Counting Scale: 1 lb / 500 g

The A&D Weighing FC-500i (FC500i) is the smallest, most sensitive model in A&D’s FC-i series of counting scales. With 1 million internal resolution it counts parts as light as 0.0005 g, up to 500 g (1 lb) total.

A&D’s exclusive Automatic Count Accuracy Improvement (ACAI) refines the average piece weight as you add parts, so you get accurate counts from small samples. LED prompts guide operators step by step, and a 500-item memory stores part data for repeat jobs.

Key Features

• 500 g × 0.05 g (1 lb × 0.0001 lb) display; 1 million internal resolution
• Minimum unit weight 0.0005 g for tiny parts
• ACAI for fast, accurate counts from small samples
• 4 ways to set piece weight: sample count, keypad entry, ID recall, or computer input
• 500 ID memory: unit weight, tare, comparator limits, accumulation, and 12-character part name
• VFD display shows count, weight, unit weight, comparator result, and ID together
• HI/OK/LO comparator for check counting
• Bi-directional RS-232C for printers, PCs, and barcode readers
• Optional rechargeable battery and remote second scale base (not included)

Applications

Electronics and Small Parts

Count resistors, screws, washers, and springs accurately without hand counting.

Kitting and Inventory

Recall part data by ID and accumulate totals for cycle counts and kits.

Checkweighing

Check packs against target counts with the HI/OK/LO comparator.

Calibration Options from MNM Scales

Get your FC-500i calibrated and ready to use on day one. Add either option to your order, and our TDA-certified technicians calibrate it in-house before it ships:

• In-house calibration with certificate, using NIST-tested weights: $95. We calibrate and verify your FC-500i with NIST-tested weights and include a calibration certificate, so it arrives set up and accurate. Add $95 calibration to cart
• NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate: $395. Full calibration documented on a NIST-traceable certificate, for shops and QC programs that need a paper trail. Add $395 NIST calibration to cart

We also recalibrate scales and balances you already own, by mail-in or in our shop, with on-site service across Houston and the surrounding area. Request calibration or call (832) 290-3120.

Manuals and Documents

The A&D FC-i and FC-Si data sheet and manual are available from A&D Weighing, or call us and we will send them.

Frequently Asked Questions

How small a part can the FC-500i count?

Parts down to 0.0005 g unit weight, thanks to 1 million internal resolution.

Can I add a larger platform?

Yes. The FC-i supports an optional remote second scale base for heavier parts.

Can MNM Scales calibrate the FC-500i before it ships?

Yes. Choose in-house calibration with a certificate, using NIST-tested weights, for $95, or NIST calibration with a NIST-traceable certificate for $395.
