13.1. Remote indicator mode
The K3 indicator can operate as a remote display for another scale by using
the “GRAM remote” communication protocol. When a K3 indicator is not
configured as a remote indicator, it obtains the weight information from
another scale via the RS232 serial port. The connection available for load cell
is deactivated.
To configure a K3 indicator as a remote display, select the rENOtE option in
the S-NOD1 section of the options menu for the COM1 serial port.
The scale to which the “remote indicator” will be connected should have the
K3rEN option selected in the ForN section of the configuration options
menu for the RS232 serial port to which the cable will be connected.
Moreover, in the S-NOD section of this RS232 communications port, you
should select the Cont option (data transmission in continuous mode).
13.2. XTREM mode
When selecting the xtrEN option as the operating mode for the serial port
CON1 in the options menu S-NOD1, the K3 indicator will operate as the
terminal of a digital scale equipped with the XTREM weight transmitter.
The weight measurement is performed by the XTREM equipment (installed in
the scale’s weight load receptor), whereas the K3 indicator is just a terminal
in which the weight reading is viewed and the instrument’s different
functions (tare, semi-automatic zero, zero-tracking device, printout of results,
piece counter, etc.) are operated.
For as long as the XTREM digital scale is not connected to the COM1 serial
port of the K3 indicator, a communication error occurs and the display shows
the “-“ sign moving along the display. For as long as this error situation is
occurring (there is no communication with the digital scale) it is not possible
to access any K3 indicator function, including the options menu.
