The CT Series RS-232 Accessory is a bidirectional interface which enables the balance
to communicate with a printer or computer that is equipped with an RS-232 serial port.
The Interface assembly is easily installed in the balance and all communication
parameters are configured using the Setup Menu (reference the CT Series Manual).

Before installing the Interface assembly, observe the following:

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

To prevent damage to the balance, be certain that the power supply is
disconnected before removing the cover.

Even though the balance may have been switched OFF, voltage is present
inside the balance as long as the power supply is connected.

If the AC Adapter is being used, disconnect it.
If batteries are installed, remove them.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

To install the RS-232 Interface Acces­sory, first remove the Pan from the bal­ance, and turn the balance upside down.
(Do not remove Pan on CT3000L and
CT6000 Models.)

1. The bottom plate is held by four
screws, one located in each corner.
Remove the four screws and lift off
the bottom plate.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: On earlier models the bot-

NOTE:NOTE:

tom plate is held by one screw lo­cated toward the center of the plate.

2. On the rear of the balance, a protec-

tive label is provided which covers
the hole for the 9-pin RS-232 con­nector.

Peel off the label to expose the hole.

3. Place the circuit board and connec-

2

tor assembly in the balance so that
the 9-pin connector fits through the
hole.

4. Fasten the assembly using the two
screws provided.

5. Slide the ribbon connector onto the
edge of the main circuit board as
shown in the diagram.

Replace the bottom plate and install
the batteries or AC Adapter. Re­place the pan if it was removed.

9-PIN CONNECTOR9-PIN CONNECTOR

The balance can now be interfaced with
other equipment utilizing the 9-pin con­nector which has been installed. The
diagram shows the pin-out and pin de-

scriptions for the connector.
The balance will not output any informa-

tion unless pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON
state (+3 to +15 VDC). Interfaces not
utilizing the CTS handshake may tie pin
5 to pin 6 to defeat it.

NOTE:NOTE:

NOTE: This interface does not strictly

Before using the balance, its calibration
should be checked. The balance has
been calibrated before shipment, how­ever, calibration is influenced by factors
such as:

Linearity calibration. Span calibration resets the balance’s weighing range using two
points: zero and a calibrated mass value at or near the balance’s capacity. Linearity
calibration minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within the
balance’s weighing range using three points: zero, a calibrated mass value within the
balances weighing range, and a value at or near the balance’s specified capacity. The

THE COVER.

1. Disconnect power to the balance.

2. Remove the Platform from the bal­ance, and turn the balance upside
down. (Do not remove Platform on
CT6000 Models.)

3. Remove batteries if installed.

4. The bottom plate is held by four
screws, one located in each corner.
Remove the four screws and lift off
the bottom plate.

Cable ConnectionsCable Connections

Cable Connections

Cable ConnectionsCable Connections

It is recommended to use an Ohaus cable,
however, you may configure your own.

On the rear of the balance, a 9-pin submin­iature “D” connector is provided for inter­facing to other devices. The pinout and pin
connections are shown in the adjacent
illustration.

The balance will not output any data un­less pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON state (+3
to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing the
CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to
defeat it.

Connect the cable from the balance to the
external device.

If communication parameters of the exter­nal device match the factory settings, the
Interface is ready for use. Refer to Print­ing. If not, refer to Configuring the Print
Menu to change the interface parameters.
