7. POWER CONNECTIONS
There are 3 methods for OS2X to get power supply.
Method 1: Use the attached communication line to connect Aclas ECR as below picture.
Customer can self-define the length of communication line, if the line is too long,
customer can cut one end of crystal head short and follow the connection mode below to
make a new one.

Method 2：If the external device or PC is attached with D9 interface, customer can use a
D9-4P communication cable with USB interface fromAclas to get power supply.
Connect the OS2X with the external device as below picture. If supply power is
available from the D9 interface of external device, there is no need to connect with other
power supply.
Method 3：If you purchased USB line, you can follow below picture to connect OS2X
and other terminal with USB port.
Note: To set the communication between the OS2X and the external device that has USB
interface, users should install USB virtual serial port driver first. Please refer to related
chapter for details.

8. POWER ON/OFF
Power on: press the key to power on after soft turning off.
Power off: press the key to power off.
9. KEY EXPLANATION
: This key is to adjust the „WEIGHT‟column to zero value.
Place the scale level steadily, if there are digits displayed on LCD when there is nothing on the
platter, you can press this key to adjust to zero.
Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to turn on or turn off the backlight.
: This key is used to deduct the packing weight.
If you need to deduct the packing weight, put the container or wrapper on the scale first, and
then press this key to enter weight- deducting state. Then, take off the container and put the
commodity into the container and then place the packed goods on the pan again, now, the LCD will
display the net weight.Remove the merchandise and press this key, the scale will return to normal
weighting state.
Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to enter into the unit switch function. Press the key
“ ”to shift the unit and press the key “ ” to confirm or exit the setting status.
: Press this key and hold it for 1.5 seconds to soft turn off the scale.
There is “stable”mark on the display
screen. When the weight is stable, the
triangle indicator will light which means it
is in the normal weighing status, at this
time you can put commodity on the platter
to sell.

12.USB VIRTUAL SERIAL PORT DRIVER INSTALLATION
If you purchased optional accessory USB line, you must install USB virtual serial
driver to realize the communication between OS2X and external equipments. If you
purchased D9 line, you can skip this chapter.
Open disk and run software“VCPDriver_V1.1_Setup.exe”:
Click“Next”

13.COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
Send communication protocol actively ：
Default send 10 times/s when power on. Frequency can be adjusted and the adjusting method is
same with OP box.

‘S’： Weight is stable.
‘U’： Weight is unstable.
Sign：1 byte，sign：‘－’：Weight is negative.
‘’： Weight is positive.
Weight：6 bytes，weight
Unit：2 bytes，unit
CheckSum: 12 bytes in front of the vision exclusive or and.
Tail1：1 byte，fixed as 0x03.
Tail2：1 byte，fixed as 0x04.
Flag2：1 byte，status：
Bit4：1：The current weight is zero. 0：The current weight is not zero.
Bit5：1：current in the tare mode 0：Not in tare mode.
Bit6：1：Weight is beyond the range or haven‟t startup to zero. 0：Weight is in normal and has
startup to zero.
Send communication protocol passively
1>PC Request the connection firstly
PC Send one byte command 0x05 firstly.

Scale response one byte command 0x06.
PC can confirm the scale has connected via these two commands firstly.

1．When LEN is 0, DATA column and DT SUM are empty, at this time, data Packet total
length is 13 bytes.

2．When LRN is not 0, DT SUM‟s CRC checksum is only related with DATA column, and
is not related to the prior 13 bytes, at this time, data package total length is （13＋LEN＋2）
byte.

Default the baud rate is 9600bps when power on. When the command is received successfully, change
baud rate by parameter PARA1.
XX = 0x01 : 115200 bps
XX = 0x02 : 57600 bps
XX = 0x03 : 38400 bps
XX = 0x06 : 19200 bps
XX = 0x0C : 9600 bps
Command use method：PC use the default baud rate 9600bps to send this command to OP box firstly, and
then continue to use 9600bps baud rate to response after OP box received the command. Then switch the
