AUTO OFF
The TL6000 will automatically shut off if it does not experience any
changes in weight or keys pressed for a user set amount of time.
Adjusting Auto Off:
Press the MODE key seven times until the display reads ‘AOFF
AOFFAOFF
AOFF’. Press
and hold the MODE key until the display reads ‘Edit
EditEdit
Edit’. Change the value
(the unit is in minutes) using the arrow keys. Any entry from 1 to 180
minutes is allowed. To disable the auto off feature enter 0. To save your
data, press and hold the MODE key until the display reads ‘Save
SaveSave
Save’. The
system will return to measurement mode.
Default = 60.
SERIAL DATA OUT
The TL6000 has a RS232 and a RS485 output so the scale may be
connected to a printer, computer or other external device. See “Serial
Output” section for more information.
Note: Serial data does not transmit during sleep mode.
Enabling/Disabling Serial data out:
Press the MODE key until the display reads ‘S Out
S OutS Out
S Out ’. Press and hold the
MODE key until the display reads ‘Edit
EditEdit
Edit’. Change the value using the
arrow keys. “on-demand print” means there will only be output when the
user presses print (see ‘PRINT’ section for details). When set to
“continuous”, there will be a continuous serial output at a rate of about 1
weight transmission/second. When set to “fast continuous (variable)”, the
transmission rate can be much faster, varying from about 1 to 13 weight
transmissions/second. In this mode the rate varies depending on your
settings of “Read Rate” and “Baud Rate”. For the fastest transmission
rate set Read Rate=7 (see calibration section) and Baud Rate = 9600
(see below). Warning: In “fast continuous” mode, the unit’s display will
update as fast as it prints. At the highest settings this can result in the
display changing so fast that it is sometimes difficult to read.
On-demand print 0
continuous 1
fast continuous (variable) 3
To save your data, press and hold the MODE key until the display reads

BAUD RATE
The baud rate is the frequency at which the serial data output is sent.
Operational baud rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600.
