2.0 INTRODUCTION • The GBC/GFC series provides accurate, fast and versatile parts counting scales. • There are 2 types of scales within the GBC/GFC series: GBC/GFC scales are kilogram/gram scales and the GBC/GFC-a scales are changeable from pounds to kilograms if the user requires it. The scales have the same functions except that GBC/GFC-a scales have the ability to toggle between the weighing units. • All scales are supplied with a RS-232 bi-directional interface and real time clock
