Do not use the FX-300iN as a Legacy Weigh Station scale.
Follow this guide to setup your A&D FX-300iN scale for use with the Register app with Integrated Scale or with the Weigh Station 2.0. The FX-300iN is NTEP Certified.
Power on the scale
Connect the scale to a power outlet and wait for the Standby indicator, then press ON:OFF/ZERO to turn the scale on:
- Press and hold this key for 2 seconds to turn ON:OFF
- Press once to ZERO out the display
Configure mode
The default mode for the FX-300iN is e =10d. Out of the box, the front label will correspond to this mode.
If you change the mode to e=d for a direct sale application, then you must select that mode and then you must take the corresponding label from the box and affix the label to the scale. The correct label must applied and sealed before a visit from a field inspector.
Adjust Factory Settings to e=d
IMPORTANT: If possible, try to verify that your scale is in the appropriate mode before having your scale certified. Once the scale is certified, the back panel will be locked and you will not be able to unlock it.
If NTEP e= d does not appear out of the box, you must:
- Unscrew the back panel below the power input.
- There is a button next to the two power cells. Hold that button AND the MODE button when powering on the scale.
