INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
This manual covers Installation, Operation and Troubleshooting for the Ohaus
Precision Advanced Series of Electronic balances, Models GT210, GT400, GT410,
GT2100, GT4000, GT4100, and GT8000. Suffixes after the basic model number are:
D = Moveable FineRangeTM, T=Tower Mount and V=Non Type Approved. Models with
an E suffix = Type Approved with CE conformance and bear official markings (Max,
Min, Class, etc.) on a serial number plate located on the side of the balance. To ensure
proper operation of the balance, please read this manual completely.
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION
The Ohaus Precision Advanced GT Series balances are precision weighing instruments, designed to be versatile, accurate, easy to operate and will provide years of
service with virtually no maintenance. The Precision Advanced series is constructed
using a die-cast aluminum base finished with a durable corrosion resistant epoxy
powder paint. It contains solid-state precision electronics PC boards, and a seven and
a half, 0.45 inch digit, Vacuum Fluorescent display. Each balance operates through
a series of menus which enhances operation. A built in lockswitch prevents preset
settings from being changed. To prevent measurements from being affected by air
currents, a Draft Shield is mounted to the balance and is standard with Models GT210,
GT410 and GT410D.
FEATURES
Precision Advanced balances contain four main display menus which enable you to
calibrate and configure the balance for specific operating requirements.

The balance can be damaged if operated
at an incorrect line voltage. If, for any
reason the balance
operate at your particular line voltage, it
may be checked in the following manner:
1. Locate the fuse holder in the lower
right-hand corner of the balance
(when viewed from the rear).
2. There is an arrow imprinted above
the fuse holder and the voltage (100,
120, 220 or 240) below the arrow
indicates the line voltage. See illustration.

3. If you wish to change the line voltage setting, remove the power cord and pry
the fuse holder loose by inserting a small screwdriver blade in the slot. Remove
the fuse holder and rotate it to the proper position with the correct line voltage
lining up with the arrow. If neccessary, install the correct fuse for the required
line voltage. (See Replacement Parts List for fuse rating).
4. Insert the fuse holder.

RS232 INTERFACE
RS232 INTERFACERS232 INTERFACE
Precision Advanced balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232 compatible
interface for communication with printers and computers. When the balance is
connected directly to a printer, displayed data can be output at any time by simply
pressing PRINT, or by using the Auto Print feature.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate the balance from the
computer, as well as receive data such as displayed weight, weighing mode,
stability status, etc.
The following sections describe the hardware and software provided with the
balance.
HardwareHardware

HardwareHardware
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 VDC). Interfaces not utilizing
the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6
to defeat it.
Output FormatsOutput Formats

Data output can be initiated in one of three
ways: 1) By pressing PRINT; 2) Using the
Auto Print feature; 3) Sending a print
command (“P”) from a computer.
The output format is illustrated in the
RS232 command table which follows.

All communication is accomplished using
standard ASCII format. Only the characters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the balance. Any other
commands, control characters or spaces
are ignored. Commands sent to the
balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line
line feed (CRLF). For example, a tare
command should appear as shown in the
adjacent diagram. Data output by the
balance is always terminated with a carriage return - line feed (CRLF).

The pushbutton switches located on the front of the balance serve many functions.
please read the following information before pressing any of these switches.
Pressing any of these switches after the balance is turned on results in the following:
Sends weight data, statistical data, GLP data to computer/printer. In menus, allows returning to a previous
menu step.
Selects weighing units functions or options. In menus,
changes to next step or value.
When the balance is first turned on and it completes its checks, and is calibrated, it
can be used to weigh or tare materials without setting the menus.
There are many features and functions in the GT Balance, and if you do not address
all of the features, the balance has built-in default settings shown on each menu page.
Before using the balance, carefully review the Symbols Used for Operation of the
Balance shown on page 15, Navigating the Menus on page 16 and Operational Guide/
Index on page 17.
Please read the entire manual as there are many features which can be enabled. The
balance is shipped from the factory ready to operate with default settings as shown
in the menus.
The balance is a high precision instrument and will give you years of service if kept
clean and handled carefully. If you have any problems operating the instrument or
require additional information, please feel free to contact our Product Service

are on. When the load is at half capacity, only the first half of the segments are on.

The Fill Option under the Setup Options submenu provides two choices for a reference
weight (similar to check weighing). Either a mass can be placed on the pan and used
as a reference weight or a number can be entered to establish the weight value. Both
methods are used to establish a reference for a 100% bar graph reading. Target
parameter provides two choices, one is fill to the reference weight. The other option
sets the reference weight to a negative value and allows the operator to see the delta
between the actual fill weight and the target weight.
