The provided information does not mention support for an HID (Human Interface Device) interface. The Brecknell SBI-505 scale supports RS232 communication via a DB9 connector. Therefore, based on the available details, it cannot be confirmed that the scale can be adapted to have an HID interface.
1.1 Contents Introduction on page 3 Installation on page 5 Basic Operation on page 7 If you choose clr n, the indicator exits the accumulation mode without clearing the total weight. If you choose clr y, the total weight is cleared and the indicator exits accumulation mode.
1.2 Introduction For safe operation please read and follow all safety information and instructions. WARNING: Settings, calibration, inspection and maintenance should only be done by trained personnel. WARNING: This indicator is a static sensitive device. Remove power before making any electrical connections.

1.3 Installation 1.3.1 Power Supply Connection The indicator is powered by an A/C adapter that plugs directly into the DC pin at the bottom of the indicator. The indicator accepts 9 - 12 VDC center positive adapter. 1.3.2 Connection of Loadcell and Indicator The indicator can be connected up to 6 - 350Ω...

1.4 Basic Operation 1.4.1 Power Press and hold the ON/OFF key, shown below, for two seconds to power on or off the indicator. After a self-test, normal weighing mode will be accessed. 1.4.2 Zero Operation Initial Zero Setting During power up, if the weight on the scale is within the initial zero tolerance, the indicator will show zero automatically.

1.5 Counting Function Follow these steps to count items of the same weight. 1.5.1 Getting a Piece Weight While in the weighing mode, press the Zero key to clear weight from the scale. Load pre-counted sample pieces of (5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, or 500) on the scale and press the Count key.

1.6 Accumulation Operation With 0 on the display, add the weight to the scale. Press the Total key to enter the accumulation mode. The Total annunciator turns on and the display shows n 001, and then the display goes back to the loaded weight. Unload the weight.
When the desired choice is displayed, press the Print key to accept that choice. If you choose clr n, the indicator exits the accumulation mode without clearing the total weight. If you choose clr y, the total weight is cleared and the indicator exits accumulation mode.
1.7 Calibration and Parameter Setting The Parameter menu is divided into a calibration section and a parameter configuration section. To enter the parameter part of the menu, follow step 1 below. To enter the calibration plus the parameter section, follow step 2 below. You may need access to the Seal switch on the main board, shown in the photo below.

Be sure to return the seal switch to its original setting once you are finished with calibration and configuration. The table below shows the name and symbol of each front panel key and their function while in the menu. Function Symbol Print Enter...

1.7.1 Calibration Instructions When initial installation or recalibration are necessary, locate the seal switch and place it in the ON position. The SBI-505 requires a minimum of 10% of the configured scale capacity in dead weight to calibrate the indicator.
