The bottom of the host indicator has a power connection (connected to a key switched 12 volt source on the tractor), a Power/
Communication (PWR/COM) port for connecting to the scale indicator, an RS232 data connection for use with an external
printer (available through your authorized Balzer dealer), and a USB port for exporting the stored data from the weigh system
to a flash drive for use on a personal computer (Figure 32)
Check all connections to make sure they are hand tight Do not over tighten
Disconnect the cables connected to the Power (PWR) connection and the Power/Communication (PWR/COM) if needing
to weld on the tractor or grain cart or if needing to jump start or charge the tractor's battery Failure to do so can result in
