5.0 RS-232 Communication

USB Connection
RS-232 Connection
The scale comes with an RS-232 port that enables weight data to be transmitted to other equipment, such as a computer or printer. The RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector (PN 100719) is available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. Figure 5-1 shows where the RS-232 connection is.
The RS-232 parameters are 9600 baud (selec and no handshaking.
There are three methods of communication:
• Pushbutton keypad print
• Standard remote protocol
• Escape protocol

5.2 USB Connection

The Rice Lake Digital Floor Level Scale has the capability of connecting to a PC using a USB connection and a USB cable (not included). That connection location is shown in Figure 5-1.
Figure 5-1. USB Connection Port and RS-232 Connection Port
Connecting software and downloads should be addressed by your IT department. For more information on setting up the USB connection, please refer to the RL150-10-7 Digital Floor Level Scale Technical and Operating Instructions, PN132098, which is available online at www.ricelake.com/health.
