1.1 Declaration of conformity
Venus
1-7
We SOCIETÀ COOPERATIVA BILANCIAI A.R.L.
Via S. Ferrari, 16
41011 Campogalliano - MODENA
declare upon our sole responsibility that
the Weighing indicator
VENUS and its options
described in this declaration, complies with the relevant harmonised
standards of the European Union:
2014/30/UE (EMC): EN61000-6-3:2007
EN61000-6-4:2007

1.4 Documentation
This manual is accompanied by a CD-ROM that primarily contains
information about installation of the terminal.
Here you will find information on how to interface the terminal with a PC
or PLC.
1.5 Description of the terminal
The digital weight indicator allows highly accurate and reliable weighing
operations to be carried out. Its field of use is mainly for commercial
weighing and labelling purposes. The graphic display and fully
alphanumerical keypad allow the terminal to be easily used by even
inexpert operators.
Certain of the characteristics of the indicator are listed below:
✔connection to up to 2 scales with analogue cells (up to four 350 Ohm
cells per scale)
✔three RS232/422/485 standard serial outputs
✔110-240 Vac power supply
✔facility for connection to an external keyboard and mouse (compatible
PCs).
Optional boards that extend the way the indicator is used and interfaced
can also be requested.

✔Use of the terminal in places with potentially explosive atmospheres
or in areas where there is a risk of fire is strictly prohibited.
Any other use shall only be permitted if explicitly authorised by the
Manufacturer.
2.2 Regulations
The operating conditions for the electronic terminal are subject to the

2.4 Professional profiles
In view of the absence of particular, intrinsically dangerous devices and
the consequent simplicity of the protection systems, the professional
profiles of the persons who work with the machine can be the following:
Qualification 1) Machine operator who is entrusted with operations that
include powering the line, starting, stopping, correctly feeding in the
products, unloading the products, replacing the labels and removing the
silicone-backed paper.
Qualification 1-a) Programmer of the machine entrusted with the
machine programming phase, which does not entail hazards for persons
or property. The person who deals with this task must be particularly
careful and diligent as some of the programming operations can destroy
the previously memorised data. He/she must also be familiar with the
productive organisation of the company so as to enter adequate
information.
Qualification 2) Mechanical servicing technician entrusted with making
sure that the mechanical components are clean and in a good condition,
as well as adjusting and servicing them: with the exclusion of any
operation involving the electrical system with which the machine is fitted.
Qualification 3) Servicing electrician, entrusted with the task of
organising the maintenance work and dealing with any electrical faults,
possibly with the ability to work inside the control panel.
Qualification 4) After-Sales Service, person who deals with all the
complex adjustments, servicing, repairs or other operations to be carried
out in particular conditions.
WARNING
Reference will be made to the qualifications described above
in all future descriptions about operations involving the
machine.
