AUT.OFF  
(Auto Power 
Off / Battery 
Operation) 
 
The instrument can be set up to automatically power down after a period of no 
activity. Weight motion, network communications or any press of the keyboard 
is enough to keep the instrument powered on. When operating on batteries the 
instrument will turn off after 30 minutes of inactivity even if set to Auto.  
Options: 
NEVER: Never power off automatically1, 5,10, 30, Auto (time in minutes) 
Default: Auto 
B.LIGHT 
(Backlight 
Operation) 
 
Sets the operation of the backlight. When operating the backlight with batteries 
the brightness is lowered automatically to conserve power and the backlight 
will automatically turn off after 10 seconds of inactivity. To turn on again, press 
the <POWER> key. 
Options: 
OFF: Backlight is off. 
ON: Backlight is on when weight motion, network communications or any 
keypress is detected. 
FORCED: Backlight is permanently on. 
Default: ON 
REM.FN 
(Remote 
Function)  
K344, K35* 
 
This item allows the indicator to be triggered from a remote input (see section 
3.9.2 Remote Input). The remote input can be set to have: 
-   no function (i.e. NONE) or 
-   it can be set to mimic one of the front five panel key functions (i.e. 
where KEY1=ZERO, KEY2=TARE, KEY3=SELECT, 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 effect, the SERIAL:TYPE item must be set to 
AUTO.  
Options: 
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 
REM.CHR 
(Remote Input 
Transmit Idle 
Character)  
K344, K35* 
 
The remote input transmit idle character specifies the character to be 
transmitted whilst the serial transmitter is idle, regardless of the state of the 
DTR line. This character is only transmitted when a remote function 
(SPEC:REM.FN) is enabled, and serial port type (SERIAL:TYPE) is set to 
PRINT or AUTO.PR. This function allows the remote input to function even 
when a printer is connected. This character must be chosen so it is ignored by 
the printer. Typically, the ENQ (ASCII 05) character is suitable. 
Range 000 to 255 
Default: 005 
BAT.VLT 
(Battery 
Voltage) 
Default: 4.8V 
A low battery annunciator will be displayed at 10% above low battery level. 
The indicator will assume it is on battery power when its input voltage is less
