Antenna kit, Yagi 15 DBI with 3 M coax 144345 30 M coaxial cable, for use with non-vehicle mount antenna kits 162177 Cordset, SENDit. Pre-wired for use with single channel transmitters or receivers 162184 Load cell connector, SENDit. Field wire-able, 4-6 mm straight. 162185 Load cell connector, SENDit.
Overview The SENDit offers an effective wireless load cell cable replacement in systems where it would be difficult to have a load cell cable. Replacing the cable with an RF link, the output is then set to match the device that the cable was connected to.
Press & hold for one to four seconds – will auto zero Press & hold five seconds – turns unit off Power In Connection – Located on the side of the unit. Type of power source will be checked on the overlay. All SENDit units are currently 5-6 VDC.
Unpacking and Assembly SENDit transmitter and receiver units are factory paired. Take care when unpacking orders of multiple units to keep the paired sets together. In the event a transmitter or receiver must be replaced or the units must be re-paired, see Figure 2-3 on page 6 for paring information.
1. Connect the power source (Table 2-2) to the transmitter. 2. Using a 9 pin serial cable, connect the transmitter to a computer. This allows setup with the MSI TranSend mV/SENDit Receiver Calibration program. See Section 4.0 on page Power Input Cable...
In the event a transmitter or receiver must be replaced or the units must be re-paired, use the following instructions to pair the SENDit receiver and transmitter units. The MSI mV Scale Calibration software can be downloaded from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website.

SENDit Wireless Load Cell Interface Appendix Antenna Options To meet FCC licensing rules, use only antennas supplied or recommended by Rice Lake Weighing Systems. Note Antenna placement is critical to problem-free use of the system. • Ensure a relatively clear transmission path exists between the devices to be connected. Radio signals travel primarily by line of sight (LOS), obstructions between stations may degrade the system performance.
