1. INTRODUCTION The AD-8922A is a remote controller. Read this manual completely before using the AD-8922A in order to ensure a sufficient understanding for proper use. 1.1. Outline The AD-8922A is connected to an A&D manufactured weighing instrument, using the RS-232C serial interface.
*3: For “XXX”, choose from 200 (2 m), 500 (5 m), or 1000 (10 m). The AD-8922A functions in two ways as follows, depending on the weighing instrument used: A remote controller that displays the weighing data and remotely controls the weighing instrument.
*1: Switching the standby or weighing mode is available for the AD-4212C/D/F. *2: Not applicable to the counting mode and the percent mode. *3: Available when the AD-8922A is in key mode (" " or " " of the function setting).
• D-Sub 7-pin to D-Sub 9-pin (AX-KO1786-200) If not specified, • D-Sub 25-pin to D-Sub 9-pin (AX-KO1710-200) • D-Sub 9-pin to D-Sub 9-pin (AX-KO2741-180) When connecting to the AD-4212C/D, use the cable provided for the AD-4212C/D. Do not use the cable provided for the AD-8922A.
Set the command set " " of the function setting, appropriate to the weighing instrument. To enter the function setting mode of the AD-8922A, press and hold the ON:OFF key and press the CAL key. The weighing instrument has its own function settings and the AD-8922A can not change those settings.
For information on cables required for connection, see Table 1 in "1.2. Applicable Instruments". Connect the weighing instrument to the AD-8922A D-Sub 9-pin connector. Connect an external device such as a personal computer or a printer to the AD-8922A DIN 8-pin connector.
Instruments". 3.5. Example of Use A personal computer is connected to the AD-8922A and the weighing data can be transmitted to the personal computer, using Windows communication tools (WinCT). To protect against inadvertent operations, the AD-8922A keys can be disabled.

8.1. Installing to Wall Installing the display unit on a wall using the standard stand 1. Secure the stand, that is attached to the display unit, on the wall using the four screws. 2. Adjust the angle of the display unit and tighten the angle adjustment knobs located on both sides of the display unit.
Note: Power cannot be shared with the weighing instrument. Plug the AC adapters into both the weighing instrument and the AD-8922A. 9.1. Confirming the AD-8922A Software Version Before installing an option, confirm the AD-8922A software version. The software version is displayed as " x.xx" for approx. 1 second before entering the function setting mode.
9.2. Installing the Option Install the option as shown below. The installation procedure is the same for all the options. 1. Disconnect the AC adapter. 2. Remove the two screws and pull out the RS-232C board provided as standard as shown in the illustration. 3.
(+/-) and the data status (stable/unstable and over/under). Using the STROBE signal, the data can be read easily. The AD-8922A-01 can set the input terminal function to either the BUSY or the RE-ZERO input function by selecting that function. When set to the RE-ZERO input function, the AD-8922A transmits the RE-ZERO command to the weighing instrument, setting the weighing value to zero.

* - “BUSY/RE-ZERO input ON” is the condition that BUSY is connected to input signal GND (Pin 3). - The AD-8922A-01 can select either the BUSY input or the RE-ZERO input by setting the function. When keeping the on state for 100msec, the weighing instruments keep the re-zero state.
10.2. Setting of the Decimal Point Position The AD-8922A can set the display digit and the BCD output digit by setting of the function. When setting the decimal point position, the BCD output digit does not change if changing the Readability by pressing the SAMPLE key.
Whether or not to sound the buzzer according to the results can be selected. Note: When the AD-8922A-04 is installed, the pin assignment (DIN 8-pin), of the RS-232C serial interface, to connect an external device, will be changed.
