4. GETTING STARTED In order to obtain accurate weighing and counting result, this scale must be placed on a strong and level surface horizontally. Avoid using this scale in environment where excessive wind flow, vibration and extreme temperature change exist. This scale should be installed away from any sources of excessive electrical noise. - Page 12 COM PORT ON COMPUTER RS232 COMPORT ON SCALE (DB9) (DB25) 2 = RXD 3 = TXD 3 = TXD 3 = TXD 2 = RXD 2 = RXD 5 = GND 5 = GND 7 = GND 4.3.2 Connecting RS232 to Printer (DB25) RS232 COMPORT DB25 COMPORT ON ON SCALE...

Page 13: Initial Setup
5. INITIAL SETUP 5.1 INTERNAL SETTINGS Preferred application parameters can be checked or set through internal functions. Refer to 5.4 for internal function description and setting procedures. 5.2 HOW TO ENTER AND SELECT INTERNAL FUNCTION Follow the below steps to enter and select desired parameter of an internal function. -
Page 17: Instruction For Use
6. INSTRUCTION FOR USE 6.1 POWER ON Powered on this scale, scale displays: - a. software and revision number and capacity of scale, b. calibration count value, c. parameter set count value, d. all LCD segments, Then countdown process starts. After that, this scale is ready for operation. 6.2 START WEIGHING a. - Page 18 6.4 TARE OFF THE WEIGHT OF A CONTAINER Tare function is used to temporarily set this scale to zero (such as cancelling the weight of a box or a container) in order to get the net weight result 6.4.1 Enable / Disable Repeat (Multiple) Tare Depends on internal function setting, repeated (multiple) tare operation may be enable (Mode 1) or disabled (Mode 2).
- Page 19 To cancel tare effect, remove all loads and container from platter and press [TARE] , g. Net Indicator disappears. Tare effect has been removed and weight reading is gross weight. 6.4.3 Preset Tare This feature enables the user to manually enter the tare weight. During normal operation, enter the pre-determined tare weight through numeric keys then press [TARE].
- Page 20 d. To enter new unit piece weight, repeat step b above. 6.5.2 Sampling Process This method is used where unit piece weight is unknown or the weight of individual piece is not highly standardized. a. Refer to 6.2 and 6.4 for zero, selecting preferred weight unit and tare operation, b.
- Page 21 b. The quantity added to platter is less than 100% of the maximum counts previously attained from the same transaction. If the above requirements are fulfilled, a new unit piece weight will be determined and displayed on the Unit Piece Weight Panel and confirmed by 2 audio beeps.
- Page 22 output transaction printout(s) through the RS232 comport. This scale returns to normal operation status after 2 seconds, c. Repeat a for subsequent transactions 6.7.2 Memory Recall and Clearance a. Remove all loads from platter, b. Press [M+] to recall total accumulated weight from memory, c.
- Page 23 Hints: - 1. For normal comparison, set both HI and LO limits, 2. To check only if result is lower or equal to LO (result ≤ LO), set HI limit = 0, 3. To check only if result is higher or equal to HI (result ≥ HI), set LO limit = 0, 4.
