Sartorius Factory Series Operating Instructions Manual page 163

Interface Description
Purpose
Your Factory scale comes equipped
with an interface port for connection
to a computer or other peripheral
device.
You can use an on-line computer
to change, start and/or monitor the
functions of the scale and the
application programs. The interface
port also has four data output
port lines for the over/under check-
weighing program.
! Warning When Using Prewired
RS-232 Connecting Cables!
RS-232 cables purchased from other
manufacturers often have incorrect
pin assignments for use with Sartorius
scales. Be sure to check the pin
assignment against the chart on
page 168 before connecting the
cable, and disconnect any lines
marked "Internally Connected".
Failure to do so may damage or even
completely ruin your scale and/or
peripheral device.
