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

the bottom and then plug in.
The appearance of your model may be different.
SETUP
Upon installation, the balance will recognize the Ethernet Interface Kit and add the
following items to the menu structure. Configure the balance to the desired Ethernet
and printing parameters.
CAUTION: Invalid or incorrect Ethernet parameters may impact your network
system or lose network connectivity. Please check with your network administrator
before use.
For SPX, SKX and SJX Balances:
Upon installation, the balance will show [E.t.h.n.e.t] during the power sequence.
