Interface Description
101
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 page
106 before connecting the cable, and
disconnect any lines marked “Internally
Connected”. Failure to do so may
damage or even completely ruin your
scale and/or peripheral device.
