Not from Sartorius, but provided from AkzoNobel and needed for set up is the StarTech ethernet to USB
converter.

PMA.Vision and MixIt Pro Computer Hardware Connections
1. Connect one end of the blue ethernet cable into the PMA.Vision scale (plugs into the back of the
display screen).
2. Connect the other end of the blue ethernet cable to the power supply box into to the port marked
“Scale.”
3. Connect one end of the clear USB cable to the power supply box into to the port marked “Power.”

4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC adapter and plug the adapter into the wall or
power strip.
5. After the scale powers on, tap the menu icon for the home page.

6. PMA.Vision can be connected via the Ethernet cable to the shop’s network router; this requires that
the MixIt Pro computer is also connected to the same network. Note: connecting to the shop’s
network will in most cases require the involvement of the shop’s network administrator.
As an alternative you can use the supplied StarTech ethernet to USB adapter to connect
PMA.Vision directly to the MixIt Pro computer.
If you will be connecting PMA.Vision via the Ethenet cable to the router via DHCP you should skip
to step 13, otherwise continue with the next step.
7. On the home page tap the settings icon.
8. Tap Ethernet.

9. Tap DHCP (On).
10. “On” will be in orange text and a dark background, as shown below.

11. Tap “Off”
Confirm that “Off” is now in orange text and a dark background, as shown below. Then tap the
check mark.
12. It will return to the Ethernet screen and it will now show DHCP (Off). Tap left arrow to exit the
settings menu and return to the home page.

13. Connect one end of the gray Ethernet cable to the power supply box, connect to the port marked
“Ethernet.”
14. If connecting directly to the PC, connect the gray Ethernet cable to the StarTech Ethernet to the
USB adapter.
If connecting PMA.Vision to the shop’s network, plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the
shop’s router.

15. Plug the StarTech Ethernet to USB adapter into any available USB port on the MixIt computer.
16. If PMA.Vision is connected to the shop’s network, in Tools/Settings/Devices edit PMA.Vision and
enter the IP address or host name for the PMA.Vision scale that was assigned by the network
administrator. The default static IP address for PMA.Vision scale is 192.168.140.16. If the static IP
address for the scale is changed, the new IP address must also be entered into the PMA.Vision
scale via the Ethernet settings (this requires turning DHCP off as detailed in previous steps).
