(*) With approved instrument it is possible to select just the FLt 0–3, h.r.0, h.r.1, dyn.0, dyn.1, SLW.0, SLW.1
parameters.
(*) Auto-0 AUTOZERO AT THE START UP
By pressing ENTER/PRINT one chooses whether to enable (EnAb) or disable (diSAb) the automatic acquisition of
the gross zero upon start-up. By choosing EnAb, if upon start-up a detected weight is within +/- 10% of the capacity,
it is zeroed; if the weight is not within this tolerance, the non approved instrument’s display will show the present
weight after a few instants, while an approved instrument will continuously show “ZEro” on the display, until a weight
within tolerance is placed.

PWr.Prn PRINTER MANAGEMENT
In this step one programmes the management of a printer (if connected):
PWr.EXt with instrument on, printer managed.
EXt.oFF printer managed; the start-up characters are sent to the printer, because the printer is
considered to be configured in the energy saving mode.
(!) PWr.EXt
on.Prin ENABLING OF PRINTER IN ENERGY SAVING MODE (§)
If in the preceding step the EXt.oFF management is set, by entering this step one turns on the printer in the
energy saving mode (the “onPri” message is blinking on the display).
To exit this step press any button. The enabling may be carried out quickly also during the weighing, by pressing
the ZERO key for a few seconds (except in the REPEATER functioning mode).
(§) The parameter is displayed if “EXt.oFF” has been selected in the “PWr.Prn” step.
Prn.CtS RTS/CTS STATUS CONFIGURATION (§)
Using the fibre optic transmission, it is possible to manage the CTS signal; device (like a printer) that is slow in
processing the data received, can interrupt the transmission by temporarily using this signal.
noCtS no signal
CtSL CTS active low (for LP542P, TPR, DP24 printers)
CtSh CTS active high (for DP190 printers)
EMuCtS emulation of the CTS signal: one is asked to enter the number of characters (nChrS), in 3 digits,
which will be transmitted to the printer upon each transmission; then one needs to enter the
waiting time in milliseconds (tiME), in 4 digits, between a transmission and another.
The TIME OUT of a printout is a minute, in other words, after a minute that the printout is
blocked, it is cancelled.
(!) noCtS
(§) The parameter is not displayed unless “tPr” or “LP542P” has been selected in the “Pr.ModE” step.

In this step one enters the number of digits (from 0 to 39) which make up the entire string transmitted by the remote
scale, less the terminator character. For example, if the transmitted string is hh,kk,pppppppp,uu + CR + LF (see the
section “TRANSMISSION PROTOCOLS” for the description of the string), one should set the value 18.
(!) 18
dECi DECIMALS OF THE REMOTE SCALE
Enter the number of scale’s decimals. The selectable values are 0.0 (a decimal), 0.00 (two decimals), 0.000 (three
decimals), 0 (no decimal); confirm with ENTER/PRINT.
(!) 0.000
unit UNIT OF THE REMOTE SCALE
Set the unit of measure (g, Lb, t, kg) and press ENTER/PRINT.
(!) kg
diV MINIMUM DIVISION OF THE REMOTE SCALE
Enter the value of the minimum division of the remote scale (selectable values 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200); confirm
with ENTER/PRINT.
(!) 0.001
The two following parameters allow to set the weight stability communicated by the remote scale and allow to
manage the stability LED on the indicator:
StAb NUMBER OF READINGS PER STABILITY
Enter the number of consecutive readings which the indicator must consider to obtain the stability (2 digits, from 0 to
20).
(!) 00
StA.int WEIGHT DIFFERENCE PER STABILITY
Enter the maximum value (2 digits, from 0 to 20) of the difference between the weights of the consecutive readings,
set in the previous step.
If the weight difference between the readings is equal or less than the set value, the weight is considered to be stable
(stability LED off), otherwise the weight is considered to be unstable (stability LED on).
(!) 02
trShLd SETTING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM THRESHOLD
This step allows to enter minimum and maximum threshold for repeater mode. With PRINT key to enter, the display
shows “tr.Lo”message, it indicates one is asked to enter minimum value, after this, “tr.hi”message is display, it
indicates one is asked to enter maximum value.
When the weight received from remote scale is less than minimum value, the segment is displayed at the bottom of
LED display; when the weight received from remote scale is more than maximum value, the segment is displayed at
the top of LED display.
NOTE: MAX = 999999; MIN = -99999
(!) tr.Lo= - 99999; tr.hi = 999999

Add.En ENABLING AND SELECTING THE 485 SERIAL ADDRESS (§)
In the rEPE functioning mode, through the F.ModE >> FunCt parameter it is possible to enable the 485 protocol and
link its own address to the instrument; the indicator will repeat the weight if the address in the received string is the
same as the address set here.
- no = 485 protocol disabled.
- YES = 485 protocol enabled.
If one enables the 485 protocol, one is asked to enter the 485 address: on the display the Adr-XX message appears
in which XX is the 485 address, from 00 to 98 (by pressing the TARE or ZERO keys one increases the digit, and with
MODE it’s selected; when the chosen values is reached, one confirms with PRINT).
(§)The parameter is ONLY displayed if the firmware is MASTER type.

t.out SET RECEPTION TIME OUT (§)
In the rEPE functioning mode, through this step, it allows to set timeout communication. If the wait time passes out,
communication is disconnected yet, a segment is displayed at the center of LCD display, which indicates it fails to set
up communication.
If value is set on zero, it means there is no time out.
NOTE: MAX=20.0 sec; MIN=00.0 sec
