Data Output
Printer
You can connect two strip or label 
printers to Signum
®
 1, 2 or 3. You can 
generate printouts at the press of a key or 
automatically. Printout formats are user-
definable. You can also configure separate 
summarized printouts, and print a list of 
the active menu settings. See “Configuring 
Printouts,” page 81, for details.
Digital Input/Output Interface 
+ Optional I/O
The digital I/O interface is supported by 
the Checkweighing and Classification 
applications (Signum
®
 2 and 3 only): 
Checkweighing
The output device has a number of 
control functions. Four data outputs 
transfer signals for “less than,” “equal 
to,” “greater” and “set.” You can define 
whether the outputs are always active or 
are activated only at stability, only within 
the checkweighing range, only within 
the checkweighing range at stability, or 
switched off.
Classification
Four data outputs transfer information on 
the class of the load (Class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) 
and indicate when the minimum load is 
exceeded (Set).  
You can define whether the outputs are 
always active, activated only at stability, 
or off. For details, see “Classification” in 
the enclosed “Basic Application Programs” 
manual for details.
Communication Interface
You can define a number of parameters 
for this SBI interface (print command, 
time-dependent autoprint, ID codes). 
See “Interface Port,” page 84, for details.
Backups
Signum
®
 2 and 3 saves all application 
parameters (e.g. reference values) when the 
device is turned off or you switch between 
application programs. You can assign a 
password to prevent unauthorized users 
from changing settings in the “Device 
parameters” menu under:
