SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid unnecessary damage to the balance, please pay attention to the
following tips:
• Please do not use this balance in dangerous area.
• Please turn off the power of the balance before connecting it or
disconnecting it with other f acilities.
• If the environment requires a higher safety standard, please follow the
relevant installation ins tructions.
• Excessive electromagnetic interference will make the displayed value
in this balance change. Once the interference is dismissed, the balance
could operate in normal way.
• Please avoid any liquid on the surface of the balance. A piece of lightl y
damp cloth is allowed to wipe the balance.
INSTALLATION
• Please make sure the local voltage is in line with the rated voltage on the
name board .
• Please pay special attention when use RS-232 as the pins location might

COMMUNICATION WITH A COMPUTER
The balance keyboard functions can be accessed via the RS-232 i nterf ace.
The following commands are av ailabl e:
U – : Units conversion.
T – : Tare function.
C – : Calibration with external standard weight.
P – : Print function.
% - :Percent function.
# - :Instant print.
M – : Counting function.
When a balance is connected to a computer, it is suggested that immediate
print # be used. In response to this command the balance will transmit
whatever number or message appears on the balance display inEXCEL format.
The string format output is shown bel o w:
A B C D E F G H I J L M
A - +/- : Signs field, usually no display as a space when it is a positive
number, - is displayed when it is a negative number.
B – G: Number and decimal field, spaces are used when there are less
than six digits.
H – I: Spaces fields.

J: Unit field, it describes the units of the number being transmitted.
Y our balance will transmit G for grams, O for ounces and C for c ar ats.
L: Return charact e r.
M: Line feeds character, it indicates the line feeds.
RS-232 INTERFACE HARDWARE
This balance adopts the transmit and receive lines of standard RS-232.
The data format is:
1 start bit.
8 data bits include parity .
1 stop bit.
The instruction to connect the balance to external device is a s foll o ws:
PIN DESCRIPTION
2 – TXD - - - Scale transmits data.
3 – RXD - - - Scale receives data.
5 – GRD - - - Signal ground .

18
Notice: “Handshake” signals, such as “clear to send” (CTS) are not used. The
peripheral must have a minimum buffer (15 charact er s).
It is suggested that the maximum recommended cable length is 15 meters,
the load impedance of the device connected should be between 3000 and
7000 ohms with no more than 2500 pf shunt capacitance.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting
Only the trained professionals are allowed to do repair work. There is a risk
for the user if non-professionals do the repair.
Clearance
• Turn off the balance and unplug the data cables.
• Avoid the liquid into the balance.
• Any corrosive cleaner (solvent) is forbidden to use.
• Wipe the balance with a piece of soft cl oth.
• Remove the weighing pan before wipe the balance.
• Remove the shield ring and pan support with the weighing pan which
helps avoid damage to the weighing system.

19
Clearing the stainless steel surface
All the stainless steel components need to be cleaned r egularly. Remove
the weighing pan and thorough clean it with a damp cloth or sponge.
The cleaner applicable to stainless steel are recommended. Wipe the
stainless steel surface of the balance first and then clear the stainless steel
weighing pan. Make sure there is no dirt and then wipe the stainless steel
component again. Dry the balanc e by air. If necessary, smear the proper oil
on the surf ace as additional pr ot ection.
Note: After remove the weighing pan and the pan support, avoid any liquid or
solid pellet into the installation hol e.
Safety check
If the balance could not work normall y:
• Cut off the power immediately, keep and do not use it again.
• Keep it in a safe place to make sure it won´t be used for the moment.
• Inform the nearest Service Center or your Distributor. The repairman
must have had professional training.
