2. Setting the Serial Number
Before proceeding, make sure that the WB8000RW and D8000 are within 17 feet (5m) of each other.
The serial number must be set in order for the WB-8000RW and the D-8000 to communicate.
The same assigned serial number should be set for the WB-8000RW as for its corresponding D-8000.
This must be performed when using the device for the first time, or when using the D-8000 with a different WB-8000RW. If it is not performed,

Before proceeding, make sure that the WB8000RW and D8000 are within 17 feet (5m) of each other.
1. Standard Weighing Procedures <weight mode>
1) Place the WB-8000RW on a hard, flat surface where there is
minimal vibration to ensure safe and accurate measurement.

2) Set the WB-8000RW switch to the ON position.
The unit will go into standby mode, and the LED will blink
green every 4 seconds.
3) Press on the D-8000.
The unit will start using the Pin which has been previously
set, and will begin communicating with the corresponding
WB-8000RW.
After the unit indicates it is in standby mode, when
communication between the two devices is established,
“-----” will be displayed on the top half of the LCD. The
WB-8000RW will start, and it w ill beep and switch to
measurement mode (the LED will blink green in 1 second
intervals).

<Weighing Example>
1) Use the mode selection switch to switch to USB ONLY position.
2) Ready to comunicate to computer.
The unit will switch to “State1”.
3) An [E] command will be received from the computer.
4) The product will begin performing zero setting, and switch to “State5”.
When zero setting is complete, it will switch to “State6”.
* When the unit switc he s to “State6”, it will sen d [S6] to th e
computer.
5) Step on the weighing platform. When the weight measurement
stabilizes, the unit will switch to “State7”, and the weighing results will
be sent to the computer.
* Please see the separately listed output format.
6) When you step off the weighing platform, the unit will switch to the
“State1” state.
* When the unit switc he s to “State1”, it will sen d [S1] to th e
computer.
7) The device will switch to standby mode.
<List of Valid Commands>
* In the chart, “Response” indicates that a response is sent in reply to a command. The contents indicated in the “Response” section of the
chart are sent before the action listed in “Action” is performed.
* A [CR][LF] is input after the “Message” and “Response” items in the chart.
* After “Command” in the chart, send a [CR][LF].
* When a command other than those listed in the chart is received, [!][CR][LF] will be sent, indicating that an invalid command has been
received.
