Ultra high resolution counting scale with powerful counting features.
The FC-500Si is the most sensitive parts counting scale we offer. This
counting scale is designed for counting small parts. If you took a $1
bill out of your wallet and cut the dollar bill into 10 equal pieces the FC-500Si
is sensitive enough to count each one of the pieces. There is a catch
to all this sensitivity and that is you're limited to the total weighing capacity
that you could ever have on the weighing pan and that is 500 gram or 1 pound.
So the FC-500Si isn't the correct selection for counting large hardware like
nuts and bolts used to put together shelving since many times 10, 50, 75, or
100 pieces would weigh over 1 pound.
You must carefully select the correct model counting scale for your specific
application. You also want to select the correct model that can count
as many various size/weight parts so you can get maximum usage from your counting
scale. Scale manufacturers make many different models all having varying
sensitivity to cover the unlimited different part people want to count.
Just like car manufacturer's don't make just 3 different automobiles to meet
all the transportation need of the world, scale manufacturers don't make 3 different
counting scale to cover any part a person would ever want to count. If
you're not sure call us at 978-521-7095 and a counting scale specialist will
assist you in the proper selection. We'll ask you immediate "what
is the smallest part that you want to count" so we can determine the sensitivity
needed.. We recommend whatever the smallest part weighs, you want a counting
scale with 5 times the readability. If your part weighs 0.1g (0.02g, readability
of the FC-500Si multiplied by 5 equals 0.1g) or greater you'll be able to accurately
count the parts with the FC-500Si..
If 70 or 90% of the parts you're counting are in the range of 100 mg then the
FC500Si is probably your best selection. If you have a few parts 2 to
5 grams in weight then you'll be limited to only counting out 100 pieces (100
pieces x 5g = 500g) at a time to prevent overloading and damaging the counting
scale. To get a better understand how counting scales work read the detailed
write-up we did on the AdamLab
CBC Series Counting Scales. We also have a few youtube videos showing the HCi counting scale and a great video on how to use a counting scale.
A&D Weighing's FC-500Si Counting Scale is designed with the super
hybrid sensor providing ultra sensitivity. The FC-500Si is also the
only counting scale in the FC-i Series with a plastic breeze break to lessen

also has the smallest weighing pan of only 5 inches square. You'll have
500 grams weighing capacity that increments in 0.02 grams. Unique VFD
displays an abundance of information and the counting scales operates on either
AC Adapter or optional NiCd Battery Pack.
The FC-i Series by A&D combines the latest cutting edge features and a heavy
duty design. A&D Weighing has long been a global manufacturer of high quality

Specification subject to change. Try to avoid oversizing your scale
as you may be sacrificing resolution which is critical to the accuracy
of your counts . To assist you in trying to correlate the
weight of the parts your counting a standard #1 paper clips weighs approximately
0.4 grams or a nickel weighs 5.0 grams. For weighing larger parts be sure
to see the rest of the FC-i Series models .

air drafts from disturbing the weighing pan that could result in unstable
results.
Additional images below are of the FC5000i.
Many features of the FC5000i are the same for the FC500Si. The big
difference is the FC-500Si has a 5" x 5" weighing pan and draft shield.
