Introduction

Welcome!

Thank you for your
This is an Instruction Manual for the AD-8118 A Journal printer. The
AD-8118A is a product of years of design, development, and in-field
testing. It is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions - and each printer is subjected to several levels of quality control before it leaves the factory. Every care has been taken during the manufacturing process of this printer to ensure that it will perform accurately and reliably for many years,
The AD-8118A Journal Printer is mainly for use with A&D's industrial scales and electronic balances. A highly reliable printer mechanism is perfect for
industrial use, a watchdog circuit prevents malfunctioning and the AD­8118A is built solid to protect against noise influence. Easy to operate, the
Journal Printer provides fast dependable printing.

Installation

Best Conditions for installation

Be careful when handling this unit because it is a precision electronic
device.
1) Don't install the AD-8118A in direct sunshine. Avoid places where there are sudden temperature changes, vibrations, strong winds and excessive moisture or dirt.
Also, keep away from conductive substances such as carbon powder.
If these substances get inside the unit errors can occur.
2) The best temperature setting is about 20°C (68*^ F) at 50% relative humidity.
3) Be careful not to expose the unit to excessive noise or static electricity,
this may cause malfunctioning.

Connection of Power Supply/Ground

Earth the AD-8118A via the power cable to the rear terminal of your
1) scale or balance. Don't plug it in directly to any other equipment. Do
not use it commonly with power devices.
If the local AC electricity supply fluctuates by more than ±10% an AC
2)
regulator must be used to stabilize the power supply. Do not use a
common source for the power lines.
NOTE: Do not turn ON the power at this time. Connect the power
plug after all other connections have been made.

Connection of Serial lnp>ut

The Serial input on the rear panel can be connected with either the RS­232C input or the current loop input. Select the appropriate input with the slide switch also located on the rear panel.
Direct Connection The Serial Input can be connected with a standard serial output or current
loop on A&D Weighing Indicators.(ex. AD-4322A, AD-4323, AD-4324,AD­4325A)
Page 8
owners-AD-8118A-v.3.a
Using the Optional Interface
The Serial input can be connected with a RS-232C input or current loop input using an RS-232C optional interface. This can be done with the FX, FY, FR, FV, FW and AD-4316 or AD-4321. (If the option is provided with a current loop output, it can be used as well.)
Note that these units^are equipped with outputs that can be connected to the AD-8917, AD-8918, AD-8117 and AD-8118A externally.

The DIP switch explanations are described beginning below:
Baud rate Switch #1
Baud rate is the speed of transmitting data, it can be changed by the DIP switch #1. Choose either a faster 2400bps or normal 600bps speed. Choose 600bps to avoid errors caused by the expansion of the cable.
Data bit Switch #2
Data bits are the bits used to transfer one character of data; 7 bits or 8 bits are available. Even parity is performed on 7bit data.
Printing mode Switch #3
Dumb printing is simply having al! print formatting controlled by an
external device. All function keys and inputs are disabled except for the
FEED key.

This command deletes the last added data from the cumulative total value and then prints the message "^CANCEL". It is unable to perform this command if there is no cumulative total value.
This command deletes the cumulative total value and then prints the message "¥CLEAR". It is unable to

This unit has a printing buffer of 80 lines. If data can not be printed the data is stacked in this buffer and cleared as the printing progresses. If this buffer exceeds 75 lines the "Busy Output" from the I/O is turned ON. "B ERROR" is printed^ once when the buffer exceeds 80 lines. The printing speed is 1.7 iines/sec, do not input the data faster than this
speed.

Applications

Serial Inputs

The serial input can be changed through the RS-232C to current loop by the slide switch on the rear panel. Select either one depending on the
product being connected. The power for the current loop is supplied by the
receiving side.
When using the RS-232C the following cables are useable:
For current loop (DIN7P-DIN7P) Note 1:
KO : 359- 200 KO : 359- 400 KO : 359- 600 KO : 359- 800 KO : 359-1000 KO : 359-1200
KO : 359-1400
For RS-232C (D1N7P-DSUB25P):
KO
Hint: "KO : 359-200" is a 200 cm, or 2 m cable for the current loop.
Notel: When connecting option OP-03 (RS-232C option) from a FV or
FW, use a cable for the current loop. Set the connected instrument to stream, auto print or manual
print mode. The command mode can not be supported. In addition, if the standard format input is set through the unit, inputs are not accepted on rare occasions. Set the unit to
Dump print in such a case.

Connection to an Industrial Scale

The standard format of A&D industrial scales are as follows:
AD-4316 + AD-4321 A/B +
AD-4322A
OP-04 OP-04
(OP-04) *2
AD-4323 AD-4324 AD-4325A
FV series + FW series +
* 1 A unit with "+OP-XX" means that it is necessary to pair this option.

(OP-04)
(OP-04) (OP-04) OP-03 OP-03
owners-AD-8118A-V.3 .a
* 2 A unit with ”(OP-xx)" can connect to the standard serial output.
Please set the DIP switches according to the specifications of these units. When connecting to an AD-4325A, cumulative total can be started by the codes of the AD-4325A if set to the output of format with the correct code.
Set the printer mode on DIP switch #3 to standard format. AD-4601 has RS-232C. Set print mode of RS-232C Function . you can
input standard format data. (The flow speed can't be input; In this case ,set dump printing mode.) >

Connection to Peripheral Devices

This unit has the functional ability to send outputs, as well as input data, through the current loop. This allows connection to the AD-8916, AD-8917, AD-8918, AD-8117 and AD-8118A.
For example, if two AD-8917's are connected, the setting of gross weight, net weight and tare weight output through the serial output of an AD-4322A,
AD-4323 or AD-4325A can be achieved. The following application will then
be realized:
AD-4323, etc.
in the above example, the gross weight is displayed in the AD-8917 "A" and the tare in the AD-8917 "B". Then the net weight data is printed on the AD-8118A and the cumulative total is calculated. Note that this printer can't be connected to more than two other units.

Connection to Other Devices

if this printer is connected to a personal computer, a sequencer or any other unit set this unit to the RS-232C and Dump print. Set the DIP switches appropriately. For characters to print, refer to the "Character Code Table” in the Appendix, p. 30. This unit only receives signals, it can't output control signals, message, etc. Note that overflow of the data buffer is valid for control I/O only.
The following codes have meaning as control signals:
ODH
........
Moves a character point to the beginning of the next line and
clears the specification of an enlarged character.
OEH
------
An enlarged character can be used with this signal.
14H
-------
If this code is input while in the enlarged character mode it
changes back to the normal character mode. This command is ignored when in norma! character mode.
1BH
-------
This code is used in combination with the following two
characters as an auxiliary code:
>
1BH+44H Prints the year, month and day. 1BH+54H Prints the time.
