APS Enterprise Scale was built with quality and reliability at our factory in Webb City, MO USA. The APSWIFI option is used to connect the APS scale to an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless local area networks (wireless LAN). When the scale is powered on, the APSWIFI will connect to a wireless LAN matching the configuration stored in the APSWIFI module.
Connection to the APS Enterprise scale is made internally to the main board inside the scale. The APSWIFI uses an RJ11 snap-in modular connector and can be connected to either Serial Port 1 or Serial Port 2. Note that if the APSWIFI is connected to Serial Port 2, the Remote Display cannot be used.
