Indoor use only
Operating Temperature: 0 to 40°C
Storage Temperature: -10 to 55°C
Ambient Relative Humidity: maximum relative humidity 80 % for
temperatures up to 30°C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at
40°C, noncondensing
Altitude: Up to 2000 m
Power Input: 12VDC 0.5A
INTERFACE INSTALLATION
Power on the Kit by connecting the power adapter. Plug the RS232 connector of
the kit into the female RS232 connector on the balance. The RS232 configuration is
set to 19200-8-N-1, handshake is None. Another RJ-45 connector can be
connected to a Local Area Network by a network cable.

ETHERNET CONFIGURATION
CAUTION:Invalid or incorrect Ethernet parameters may impact your network
system or lose network connectivity. Please check with your network administrator
before use.
To set the Ethernet parameters with web browser
1. Make sure the Ethernet Interface Kit is installed properly and network cable is
connected to a computer (PC).
2. Set the PC to obtain an IP address automatically as shown below.
3. Open the IE Browser and enter the default IP address of the Ethernet
Interface Kit "169.254.1.1" ( ), the browser will
show below page:
4. Click the "Network Configuration" on the left side, and input the user name
and password. Then click "OK" to proceed.

RS232-Ethernet Interface EN-3
Note:
To use DHCP, enable the DHCP:
To use static IP address, disable the DHCP: and then set the
Ethernet configuration parameters.
Ethernet Connection
The Interface has a default static IP Address, 169.254.1.1, and can be changed by
following above steps.
The Port Number is always 9761 and cannot be changed.
Configuration reset
It is recommended to record the IP address since the Ethernet Interface Kit can
only set parameter per web by IP address. In case the IP address is lost, it can be
reset to the factory setting by following below steps.
1. Power off the kit.
2. Short Pin 1 of RS232 connector to the shield with tweezers or other conductive
material.
3. Power on the kit. After 5s, remove the tweezers or other conductive material
used. The kit is now reset to the factory configuration.
