FX120i drifting issues

[ShtrRdy]

Could I run the ground wire from the FX to my filing cabinet which has its metal bottom on the hard tile? Filing cabinet is right next to it.
What ground do you recommend?

You need to connect the ground screw to a ground connection in an electrical outlet or a copper pipe if your plumbing is copper. The metal file cabinet on a tile floor isn't a good ground.

I’ve got two of them next to each other on an antistatic mat. There’s a ferrite bead on the power cord to each scale. They’re both leveled and plugged into a standard power strip (nothing else on the strip) occupying one outlet. I’ve wiped down the scale surfaces and draft shields with a dryer sheet and antistatic microfiber wipe. Seems fine. One scale is an FX-120i, the other is a FX-300iN.

A filing cabinet is not a ground. The idea is to reference the scale body to the ground plane of your power source. Assuming you have a house that has properly grounded outlets, you can use something like this.

I've got a grounded outlet strip on wall behind my scale and I just drilled a tapped for a small machine screw in the strip body and ground the paint off. Short jumper from strip to scale.

I’m curious about this one, please report back with your results.
Thanks
