device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules. These
rules are designed to provide reasonable protection against
interference when this device is operated in a commercial
environment. If this unit is operated in a residential area, it may
cause some interference and under these circumstances the
user would be required to take, at his own expense, whatever
measures are necessary to eliminate the interference.

Compliance

(FCC = Federal Communications Commission in the U.S.A.)

This manual describes how the AD-1687 works and how to
maximize performance. Please read this manual completely
before using the AD-1687.
This device conforms to FCC rules and CE mark EMC directives.

Introduction

2.1. Features

The AD-1687 is a data logger equipped with 4 sensors:

temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and vibration.

By connecting the output of the AD-1687 to the RS-232C of

the insutrument, it is possible to record weighing data and
environmental data sets.

Data can be saved without a computer.
The AD-1687 has a built-in clock. This allows the date and

time to be stored along with the data.

A maximum of 10,000 data can be stored.
The environmental data is stored in CSV format and can

easily be used by software such as spreadsheet applications.

The stored data can be read by a computer after the

AD-1687 is recognized as USB memory so no special
software is required.

The AD-1687 can transmit data to programs in the computer

(Ex: Excel, etc) using the USB interface. (Real time
transmission mode)

When connecting any combination of weighing instrument or

computers, the power is supplied for the AD-1687 by them.
In this case, AD-1687 batteries are not used.

An External temperature sensor is available to connect as an

option. When it is connected, the second temperature (T2) is
displayed and the results can be stored.

2.2. Caution During Use

When operating this instrument, be sure to observe the following.

Caution

Do not open the case to repair the AD-1687. Only authorized

personnel can perfrm repairs. Attempting repairs yourself may
cause damage to the AD-1687 and will void the warranty.

Caution

When the battery cover and temperature & humidity sensor unit

are connected to the AD-1687 and the connectors are firmly
seated in the water resistant connector covers, the AD-1687 is
protected against light water exposure (equivalent to IP 65).
Please note that the water resistance will not endure immersion
in water or high pressure runnning water.
