Interface Description
Purpose
Your Factory scale comes
equipped with an interface port for
connection to a computer or other
peripheral device.
You can use an on-line computer
to change, start and/or monitor the
functions of the scale and the
application programs.
The interface port also has
four data output port lines for the
over/under checkweighing
program.
!Warning When Using Prewired
RS-232 Connecting Cables!
RS-232 cables purchased from other
manufacturers often have incorrect
pin assignments for use with Sartorius
scales. Be sure to check the
pin assignment against the chart on
the right before connecting the
cable, and disconnect any lines
marked “Internally Connected” (e.g.,
pin 6). Failure to do so may
damage or even completely ruin your
scale and/or peripheral device.
