A3 Bc To Bc System Setup - ISHIDA BC-300 Service Manual

A3 BC to BC System Setup
1. Overview
The BC-3000 has limited communication capabilities as compared to the AC-3000 series. Important
system considerations are listed here.
• PLU and price changes programmed at the master scale are instantly sent to each satellite scale that
is connected and set "on-line".
• If a satellite scale is not connected or is turned off or is set "off-line" the changes cannot be registered
into its memory.
• After programming, the master scale and all of the satellite scales contain identical PLU files in their
memory.
• The memory from the master scale cannot be downloaded or retransmitted to the memory of any
satellite scale.
• A maximum of five scales (one master plus four satellites) may be connected.
2. Set Up
Three separate memory areas of each BC-3000 scale must be configured to allow master-satellite
communications.
