WARNINGS
Safe installation
Safety
THE EQUIPMENT CONTAINS NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS.
Installation and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out by trained and authorised
personnel.
Electrical installation
The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The
electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating.
For your protection all mains (110V or 230V) equipment used out of doors or in wet or damp
conditions should be supplied from a correctly fused source and protected by an approved
ground fault protection device (RCD, GFCI etc.)
IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Routine maintenance
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the
machine and isolate from the power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance.
To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a
flat and level surface.
Safe use
Caution – Cleaning the indicator/weigh head
Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning solutions, such as washing
soda, should not be used especially on the display windows. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to wipe the inside of the machine.
The outside of standard products may be wiped down with a clean cloth, moistened with water
containing a small amount of washing up liquid.
The outside of products waterproofed to IP65, IP66 and IP67 may be washed down with water
containing a small amount of proprietary detergent.
Training
Do not attempt to carry out any procedure on a machine unless you have received the
appropriate training or read the Instruction Manual.
EMC compliance
The following may be applicable to your machine.
WARNING:
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in
which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Data Commands for Bi-directional Interface
The RS232 can be set so a bi-directional connection can be established between the indicator and the
host. To establish this connection, set parameter P4 to 7, so it is compatible with the NCI-SP1.
Commands can then be sent from the host to the indicator using the following commands (ensure the
letters entered are in CAPS) (<CR> = Enter).
