A&D Fortis FZ(-WP) & FX(-WP) Series: Precision for Ballistics, Liquids, and Lab Production

NOTE from the scalesandbalances.co.uk sales team: This is a PRE-RELEASE product. Stock will become available between Late November 2026 and January 2027 so lead times may vary.

We still have stock of the popular FX-120i and will try to keep good levels of stock of the frequently requested FX-123, it’s replacement. We already have some stock on the way Due to us W.C. 23rd Nov. We know the UK shooting community is keen to get their hands on them! If in doubt please call!

The A&D Fortis FZ(-WP) and FX(-WP) series represents the next generation of precision weighing, combining laboratory-grade performance with a compact, rugged B5 footprint. Built on A&D’s patented Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS), these balances deliver a lightning-fast 1-second stabilization time and unwavering accuracy for everything from single grains of reloading powder to high-volume industrial liquid dosing.

The Professional Choice for Precision Reloading & Ballistics

The A&D Fortis precision range remains the undisputed benchmark for the long-range shooting and reloading community. Engineered to eliminate the drift and inaccuracies of lesser digital scales, it provides unmatched reliability on the reloading bench:

• AutoTrickler and SuperTrickler Ready: Fully compatible with automated powder dispensing systems (such as V3 & V4 setups). Its high-speed RS-232C interface allows for seamless communication, enabling automated powder dispensing with extreme precision down to 0.001g (0.02 grains).
• Zero-Drift Technology: Utilising electromagnetic force restoration via the C-SHS mechanism, the balance ensures your zero stays true from the first charge to the last, resisting environmental static and temperature fluctuations.
• Single-Kernel Accuracy: Achieve the ultra-consistent charge weights necessary to minimise Extreme Spread (ES) and Standard Deviation (SD) for F-Class, PRS, and ELR competitions.
• Impact Shock Detection (ISD): Features built-in “Impact-Alert” technology that detects rough handling or mechanical shocks across 5 levels, logging up to 50 impact events (with timestamps on FZ models) to protect your investment.

Advanced Liquid Filling & Industrial Mixing

For pharmaceutical, chemical, and manufacturing sectors, select models offer high capacities (up to 5200g) and rugged build options:

• IP65 Dust & Waterproof Models (FZ-WP / FX-WP): Designed to withstand dust ingress and water projected from any direction, making them ideal for messy liquid or powder handling environments.
• Dynamic Liquid Filling: A typical 1-second stabilization time reacts instantly to liquid flow, making it critical for precision filling and topping up vessels without overshooting target weights.
• Comparator Function: Features an internal buzzer and visual “High/OK/Low” indicators to make manual batching and quality control checks fast and foolproof.
• Statistical Calculation Function (SCF) & Percent Mode: Automatically calculate statistical data, percentages of additives, or track the standard deviation of production runs.
• Underhook Weighing: Built-in underhook capability comes standard on all models for density determination and specific gravity measurements.

Technical Specifications & Model Range

Key Features & Upgraded Technologies

• Compact Super Hybrid Sensor (C-SHS): 45% smaller in volume than original SHS sensors, fitting comfortably within a space-saving B5 footprint while providing rapid 1-second stabilization.

• High-Contrast Reverse-Backlit LCD: Replaces older VFD screens with a crisp, clear 16 mm main character display designed for optimum legibility in any lighting condition.

• Air-Pump Controlled Internal Calibration (FZ & FZ-WP Series): Employs a reliable air-pressure-driven internal weight mechanism for one-touch automated sensitivity adjustments.

• IP65 Washdown Protection (WP Models): Sealed construction protects against dust and moisture ingress in aggressive laboratory or production settings.

• User Access Control (UAC) & Password Security: Restricts configuration changes to authorized administrators (up to 11 user profiles) to maintain strict data integrity.

• Flexible Connectivity Options: Standard RS-232C interface, with optional modular upgrades for Quick USB (FX-05), Ethernet TCP/IP (FXi-08), Bluetooth (GXA-27), or an internal rechargeable battery pack (FXi-09).

Recommended Maintenance

To maintain the 0.02gn precision required for shooting and high-end lab work, we highly recommend a high-quality 100g M1 Test Weight for daily calibration. Click here to view our range of test weights.
