The communication with external devices can be affected by functioning of the scale in the
situations like: unstable result, overloading and under loading of the scale, transmission mode
settings or the minimum result settings. The scale can react for those states in different ways
depending on its settings.
All the communication parameters can be changed in the
in the non volatile scale memory. The factory settings can be reset by using the
FACTORY SETTINGS
register produced by ELZAB SA factory which was approved by the Ministry of Finance since 2001.
6.1. Configuration of the communication parameters of the scale
Configuration of the communication parameters is on choosing an appropriate protocol by using
the

parameters for given protocol (speed, number of data bits, number of stop bits and parity). If the
scale is working with the customized communication settings the transmission parameters can be
changed manually by the use of the
functions.

scale response format depends on the current unit price of the weighted goods. If the unit price is
equal to 0.00 then there is sent only the information about the weight, otherwise there is sent the
full information about the load containing the weight, the unit price and the amount.
