Hg = mercury.
3. MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES
In order to ensure safety in the course of cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect
the device from the mains. With this condition met, uninstall the weighing pan
and other detachable balance components.
Caution:
Cleaning the weighing pan while still installed may cause damage of the
measuring system.
3.1. Cleaning ABS Components
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smudging, use clean non-colouring cloths
made of cellulose or cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent
(soap, dishwashing detergent, glass cleaner). Gently rub the cleaned surface
and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
In the case of hard to remove contamination, e.g: residues of adhesive, rubber,
resin, polyurethane foam etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on
a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons that do not dissolve plastics. Before using
the cleanser for all surfaces we recommend carrying out tests. Do not use
products containing abrasive substances.
3.2. Cleaning Stainless Steel Components
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach
(including chlorine). Do not use products containing abrasive substances.
Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to avoid damage of protective
coating. In case of a daily maintenance:
1. Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
2. For best results, add a little dishwashing detergent.

36. APPENDIX 01 - Communication with Barcode Scanner
1. For communication with barcode scanners, RADWAG scales use RS232
interfaces and simplex transmission (one-way direction), without
handshaking. For this purpose, use of second line of the cable is sufficient.
Used scanners should be equipped with RS232 interface, both hardware
and software handshaking must be disabled.
2. Transmission parameters can be set for both weighing devices and
scanners. For both devices the following parameters must comply: baud
rate, data bits quantity, parity control, stop bits quantity; e.g. 9600,8,N,1 –
baud rate 9600 bit/s, data 8-bits, no parity control, 1 stop bit.
3. Barcode scanners can send additional information apart from the expected
barcode e.g. symbology (type of barcode). Due to the fact that RADWAG
devices and software do not use such information, it is advisable to
disable it.
4. Some RADWAG systems can omit unnecessary coded information by
using parameters that mark the beginning and the length of the code
required to analysis.
5. A special protocol is required in order the code be received by RADWAG
equipment. It is required to program an appropriate prefix and suffix. In
RADWAG-adopted standard, the prefix is 01 sign (byte) in hexadecimal
format, the suffix is 0D sign (byte) in hexadecimal format.
6. Most barcode scanners allow to enable/disable different symbologies
(barcode types).
7. Programming of scanners is performed by reading special barcodes.
8. Scanners marketed together with RADWAG systems are always
configured according to the rules above.
Barcode with required prefix and
suffix in hexadecimal format
Barcode without required
-fixes in ASCII format
