decimal ounces, and can even display results in a combined lb:oz display.
- Metric Display – For metric use, the FD Food Scale can display results in kilograms or grams with a readability ranging
from 0.5g to 2 g, depending on model.

locked-in using either software or hardware locks. The OHAUS FD Food Portioning Scale can be locked to ensure the
configuration you choose is the configuration you use!
- Easy to Calibrate – The FD Food Portioning Scale’s software menu allows the user to recalibrate the FD Scale to ensure
accurate results. To prevent accidental recalibration, the FD Food Portioning Scale also can be configured using software
and hardware calibration lockouts. The user can calibrate the FD scale using either span (two-point) or linear
(three point) calibration setups.

you reach the weight you need
- Portioning Out of the Box – Use the negative checkweighing mode for portioning and pizza making, portioning out of a
container on the pan until the required weight is reached
- Sorting & Grading – The “zero” checkweighing method is designed for sorting and grading operations, so you can check
portions against preset limits
- Quickly Set Targets – Target weights can be entered quickly using the dedicated Setpoint key
- Bright LED’s and Buzzer Speed Use – Progress against weight targets can be indicated with the three LED’s, with
indications for Over, Accept and Under with selectable audible buzzer.
