2.3 Locating and leveling the scale
2.4 Connecting power
The scale should always be used in an environment which is free from
excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity
extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the scale:
 Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature
changes.
 Near air conditioning or heat vents.
 Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
 Near magnetic fields or equipment that generate magnetic fields.
 On an unlevel work surface.
 In confined areas, allow sufficient space around the instrument for
ease of operation and keep away from radiating heat sources.
 Adjust the leveling feet so that the scale is exactly horizontal and the
air bubble in the indicator, when available, is centered.
NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is
changed.
Check to ensure the voltage printed on the scale label matches your local
line voltage. If this is not the case, DO NOT connect the scale to the
power supply, but contact your responsible OHAUS dealer.
Connect the power cord from the scale to a suitable power source. If the
scale is equipped with an optional internal battery, connect the AC cord
supplied to the rear of the scale.
Allow your scale to warm up for at least 30 minutes to enable it to
adapt itself to the ambient conditions. If the scale has been stored in a
very cold environment before installation, it may require several hours to
stabilize.
The scale now performs a self-test, displays the software version and the
normal weight display then appears.

2.5 Battery operation
The scale is equipped with one bi-directional RS232 interface for commu-
nication with printers and computers. When the scale is connected
directly to a printer, displayed data can be output at any time by simply
pressing the PRINT UNITS button or by using one of the RS232 Mode
print features. (A second optional RS232 interface is also available).
Connecting the scale to a computer or printer enables you to operate the
scale from the computer, as well as receive data such as displayed
weight, weighing mode, stability status, etc. and to have a permanent
printed record.
On the rear of the scale, a 9-pin male subminiature D connector is
provided for interfacing to other devices. Table below indicates pin
connections.

2.6 Connecting communications
Scales with a built-in battery automatically switch to battery operation if
there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. The battery symbol
indicates the current discharge status of the battery (1 segment = 25%
capacity). If the symbol flashes, the battery must be recharged.
A discharged battery requires at least 8 hours until it is recharged. During
the charging process, work with the scale can continue, but under these
conditions, a longer charging time is needed.
In normal use, the battery can operate the scale for up to 40 hours
independent of the AC power line. The battery is protected against
overcharging and the scale can remain connected to the AC power line.
