RS232 Interface EN-1
INTRODUCTION
This Interface Kit is for use with OHAUS Scout STX, SPX, SKX, SJX series and
PJX series products.
INTERFACE INSTALLATION
Install the Interface module on the mini DIN port (round connector) located at the
rear side of the balance as shown. During this process, please make sure the
balance is powered off.
Notes:
x Please make sure the small triangle mark (▲) on the round connector is at
the bottom and then plug in.
x The appearance of your model may be different.
SETUP
A) The OHAUS Interface is preset to communicate using the following settings:
9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, no handshake. Determine the RS232 parameters
required for the printer or computer that is to be connected. See computer or
printer documentation if assistance is required. If the parameters do not match,
it will be necessary to change either the balance settings, or the computer /
printer settings.
B) Upon installation of the interface, the balance will recognize the RS232
Interface and add relevant items to the menu. Configure the balance to the
desired RS232 and printing parameters; refer to the balance Instruction Manual
for assistance in using the menus.

Load.Zero
Balance only transmits stable data.
Load
: Print stable value excluding zero
Load.Zero: Print stable value including zero
PRINT / A.Print / interval
- (xx) sec
Balance sends data every (xx) seconds.
PR
INT / Auto Print – accept
Balance only sends stable accept data in
Check mode.
PRINT / A.Print
– Continuous
Balance repeatedly sends data as fast as
possible.
PRINT / Content
On: print relevant content after weighing data
Gross – on: G; Net – on: N; Tare –
on: T;
Info – on: balance will print application
mode setting parameters
PRINT / Layout / Format - (Single,

Single: print all data in one line
Multi: print all data in multiple lines
PRINT / Layout / Feed
-
(Line, 4 Lines,
Form)
Line: feed one line after printing
4 Lines
: feed four lines after printing
Form: feed one page after printing (move to the
top of next page after printing)

RS232 Interface EN-5
RS232 (DB9) Pin Connections
The RS232 Interface Kit cable terminates with a 9 pin Sub-D female connector.
Active pins: Pin 2 = TXD, Pin 3 = RXD, Pin 5 = Ground.
The Interface connector can connect directly to a computer, an OHAUS printer and
other printers.
