REM.FN (Remote Function)
This item allows the indicator to be triggered from a remote input. The remote input can be set to
have no function (e.g. NONE) or it can be set to mimic one of the front five panel key functions
(i.e. where KEY1=ZERO, KEY2=TARE, KEY3=GROSS/NET, KEY4=PRINT and
KEY5=FUNCTION).
The remote input can also be set to BLANK where, when the remote input is pressed and held,
the indicator displays dashes (i.e. - - - - - -) and the front five key functions are disabled. When
the remote input is released the indicator display and front key functions return to normal.
For the REM.FN to have any effect, the SERIAL:TYPE item must be set to KEY. Refer to TYPE
(Serial Output Type) below for more information.
Options are:
NONE: No function.
KEY1 to KEY 5: Mimic one of the front five function keys
BLANK: Display dashes (i.e. - - - - - -) and disable front key functions.
Default: NONE

dependant on correct setting of the battery voltage.
Options are:
