Be sure the AC power is not excessively noisy - this can occur if large inductive loads, such as solenoids or motors, are on the same power line. The Model 4100XL has a filtered power supply to reduce the effects of normal line noise, but they cannot limit severe fluctuations. -
Page 7: Quick Setup Guide
Quick Setup Guide Load Cell and Power Connections: Load cell connections are made through a terminal block located at the bottom center of the main PC. Board (Fig. 2). See “Specifications and Interconnect Data” for wiring. The power cord connects to a connector adjacent to the transformer. These connections are accessible by removing the rear cover. - Page 8 connector found on the main board. Like the load cell cable and power cord, the option cables are passed through watertight fittings mounted on the bottom of the indicator. CTS /RXD REMOTE SWITCH DIGITAL GND. Fig. 3: Remote Push Button Connections Capacity: Capacity selection is performed by pressing and release Calibration button (S1) to enter the calibrate mode.
- Page 9 10% of capacity are more likely to have significant errors at full capacity than are scales calibrated at 25% or 50%. Doran Scales recommends that all scales be calibrated at full capacity whenever possible. 10% calibration should not be used when calibrating scales for legal for trade applications.
- Page 10 4) Record the "no load" counts. 5) Place "Full Load" on the platform and record the "Full Load" counts. Subtract the "No Load" counts from the "Full Load" counts to calculate span. Refer to Table 1 and verify that the span falls within the limits specified for the amount of dead load present.

Page 20: Data Communications
Data Communications Introduction to data communications: In the Model 4100XL data is sent to a printer or computer by using "asynchronous serial data communications." Data is broken up and sent one piece at a time to the printer or computer. In spite of this apparent simplicity, a basic understanding of serial data communications is needed when setting up the scale. -
Page 21: Printer Modes
"Ctrl-Q" is received. To use this mode, the RTX line of the scale is tied to the TXD line of the receiving unit. Printer Modes: The Model 4100XL offers four different print control modes. These modes dictate when printer data is sent. Transmit on demand (tod): In this mode, scale data is transmitted whenever the print button is pressed, the remote print button is pressed, or a print request is received from the serial port. -
Page 22: Data Output Format
Data output format: In order for the serial data sent from the scale to be useful, the data must be organized so that it is easy to read. To accomplish this, the scale arranges the displayed data with additional text to indicate the active units and to indicate the presence of motion during the reading. -
