Uncompromising Performance, Incredible Value A&D Fortis is the perfect balance of quality and price. Built upon A&Ds acclaimed Super Hybrid Sensor (SHS) technology, it combines precision with efficiency, delivering streamlined operations in a compact footprint without any frills. Each feature is carefully designed to enhance usability and reliability, ensuring dependable results every time
By increasing the lever ratio, the C-SHS is made 45% smaller in volume than A&D’s original SHS. With the C-SHS, the footprints of the balances are smaller than the ISO A4 (210 mm × 297 mm) paper size, maximizing opportunities for use in even the smallest of spaces, including those in in-line systems. Meanwhile, a combination of a high-stiffness, Roberval-structure spring material and an electromagnetic force restoration mechanism simultaneously realizes fast stabilization and high resolution for efficient, precise weighing. Typical stabilization time is 1 second for 0.001/0.01 g models. Large breeze break with rotary sliding doors (for 0.0001 g models)
Unlike conventional analytical balances, A&D Fortis requires no extra space at the rear for accessing the weighing chamber, as the doors simply rotate behind the balance. Moreover, the breeze break can be easily removed from the balance using a unique clip system, allowing fast, simple cleaning as well as use in confined spaces such as gloveboxes and controlled environment cabinets. Consistent and steadfast performance, even in demanding conditions
IP65 dust and waterproof (FZ-WP/FX-WP) The FZ-WP/FX-WP series, which are IP65-rated, permit no ingress of dust, and can withstand water projected from any direction, as defined by the IEC/EN standard 60529. This makes the balance highly suitable for work with liquid or powder materials, or use in dusty/wet environments, with no need to worry about damaging it.
Guarded against accidental overloading
The FZ-WP/FX-WP series, which are IP65-rated, permit no ingress of dust, and can withstand water projected from any direction, as defined by the IEC/EN standard 60529. This makes the balance highly suitable for work with liquid or powder materials, or use in dusty/wet environments, with no need to worry about damaging it
Impact shock detection (ISD) - Impact-Alert
Impact loads typically occur in factories where objects are placed down roughly by machines or thrown onto balances by operators. A&D Fortis detects shocks to the weight sensor caused by such impact loads and indicates their magnitudes in five levels from 0 to 4 (with beep sounds for Level 3 and Level 4, both of which are detrimental to the balance). By using this function and taking appropriate preventive/protective measures, you can avoid variations in weighing values due to shocks and the risk of eventual weight sensor failure Shock-Log Air-pump controlled internal weight for sensitivity adjustment (FZ/FZ-WP) One-touch sensitivity adjustment (FZ/FZ-WP) Internal weight value correction (FZ/FZ-WP) RS-232C (D-Sub 9-pin) interface as standard on all models USB interface (FX-05, optional) Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface (FXi-08, optional) Bluetooth® interface (GXA-27, optional)Compact, powerful workhorse for research and industrial applications
Space-saving, fast-weighing Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS)
The plastic of the breeze break is coated with an antistatic agent to block outside static electricity to ensure stable weighing. It is also shatter-resistant and meets glass-free requirements for food/drug production lines.
For inspection after use, A&D Fortis also logs up to 50 impacts of Level 3 and Level 4 (with timestamps for the FZ/FZ-WP series) while the power is on. Data will then be overwritten in order from the weakest impact.
Simplified management for unwavering accuracy
For the internal sensitivity adjustment of the FZ/FZ-WP series, A&D adopted a direct-driving method with a balloon-like actuator that utilizes air pressure for its power source. It features a simple structure, high reliability and a fail-safe mechanism—the internal weight returns to the original position even if the adjustment is interrupted by power failure, etc.
With just one key press, the balance loads and unloads the internal weight to correct inaccuracy quickly by itself. This is useful for daily management of the balance performance, for situations where the installation location changes often, or for instances when the ambient temperature variation is large, etc.
In cases such as where the internal weight value varies over time, it can be corrected either by loading an external reference weight or by manually inputting a correction value.Versatile connectivity methods available to suit your needs
Bi-directional serial communication (i.e. sending data and receiving commands) with an external device, such as a printer or PLC, can be made via this interface. For the FZ-WP/FX-WP series, a 5-meter waterproof RS-232C cable (AX-KO2737-500) can be purchased separately
The USB interface can be toggled between Quick USB mode (plug-and-play with weighing data output to a PC only) and Virtual COM mode (for bi-directional communication*2 ). A USB cable (1.8 m) is supplied as standard*3.
*2 Installation of dedicated driver software is required for Windows 8.1 or earlier.
*3 The FZ-WP/FX-WP series are still IP65 when the provided USB cable is connected to the USB interface
The Ethernet (TCP/IP) interface is suitable for connecting multiple balances to a PC via an Ethernet hub (to be prepared by users)*4 . The WinCT-Plus software, which can be used to acquire data from and send commands to those balances, is also provided for free.
*4 The FZ-WP/FX-WP series are not IP65 with FXi-08.
The Bluetooth interface realizes wireless communication between the balance and a Bluetooth-enabled device, such as PC, smartphone, or tablet computer*5 . For smartphones/tablet computers, a communication app “A&D WeiV” is available as a free download.
*5 Please contact your local A&D representative to find out whether GXA-27 is certified for compliance with Bluetooth communication laws in your countr
Streamlined solutions for data handling and compliance
GLP/GMP/GCP/ISO-compliant output
For documentation requirements, the balance manufacturer, model, serial number, ID number (seven alphanumeric characters set by the user), date + time*6 , space for signature for sensitivity adjustment report, calibration test report, and title & end blocks for a series of weighing results can be output.
*6 Only the FZ/FZ-WP series can output date + time. For the other series in the A&D Fortis family, please use the clock and calendar function of an external device such as the AD-8129TH compact thermal printer.
Statistical calculation function (SCF)
Various statistical data can be calculated and displayed/output to help analyze measurement results. This function is also useful for recording the formulation results of multiple ingredients.
User access control (UAC) and key lock
A&D Fortis can be password-protected in two ways: The first way is to limit use to authorized individuals (up to 11 including one administrator—the administrator can perform all operations while other users are limited to measurements and sensitivity adjustments*7 only) by setting a password for each user. The second way is to set a password for just the administrator, allowing anyone else to use the balance without entering a password, but for measurements and sensitivity adjustments*7 only
Meanwhile, upon receiving a command to disable its keys, the balance becomes operable only by sending commands from an external device, such as a PC. Alternatively, it is also possible to disable designated keys only (so as to avoid unnecessary/incorrect operations, etc.).
*7 The administrator can also restrict sensitivity adjustment
