Chapter 5: System Overview
The Torbal DRX-5sx system has been designed to allow multiple number of DRX-500s pill counting scales
function in a network environment. The system is furnished with the Torbal Server Firmware which is preinstalled on an embedded computer (The Torbal Rx Server). The server has also been preinstalled with the
national drug code directory, and allows users to store a centralized database of drug average pill weights
(APW) which is shared between all scales connected to the system. The server controls the DRX-500s pill
counting stations and tracks pill counting transactions as well as user activity. The software is viewed and
controlled through the use of a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Each server offers
administrative flexibility and can be configured to fit particular pharmacies needs and requirements. For
example, some servers may be configured in a very strict manner in order to track and control all users who
perform transactions, whereas other servers may be configured more freely where users are not required to log
in, and the server is mainly used for sharing drug data and information.
The Torbal server is designed to handle a network of up to 30 DRX500s scales. Up to 7 scales can be connected
directly to server and more scales can be connected by adding on a hub or a switch or by connecting scales
through an existing local area network, as well as, a remote over the internet.

Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
Chapter 6: Understanding system configuration & choosing connection type
The 5SX System is offered in a wireless Wi-Fi configuration or Ethernet wired form. Depending on your
configuration scales can be connected to the server in four different ways.
1. Wi-Fi private port connection: the Wi-Fi private port connection type offers a plug and play set up of the
system. Wi-Fi scales are pre-configured to automatically connect with the Torbal server wirelessly. This
connection type is suitable in an environment where the scales are within 120’ (32m) proximity of the
Torbal Rx Server and the wireless path is not obstructed by large or heavy structures.
- 10 -
Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
2. Ethernet private port connection: this connection type requires that all scales in the system are connected
directly to the Torbal server. This connection is suitable if the scales are in close proximity of the server or
if network cables can be easily connected to the Torbal Rx server. The server comes standard with three
built in private scale ports. An optional expansion card allows for four additional built in private scale ports.
A switch or a hub can be added in order to provide more private scale ports. If a pc or a laptop is to be
connected directly to the Torbal Rx Server in order to access the DRX 5SX Administrative panel, it must be
connected to one of the private scale ports.
- 11 -
Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
3. Local Area network connection (LAN): this connection type requires that the Torbal server be connected
to your local area network. In this connection the server, as well as, all the scales must be assigned with a
static IP address. This connection is suitable in large and busy environments where wiring directly to the
server is not possible or when the server cannot be reached wirelessly. Basic networking knowledge is
required and IT specialist assistance may be necessary.
- 12 -
Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
4. Wide Area network connection (WAN): this connection type requires that the server and the scales are
connected to your local area network and have access to high speed internet. This connection is suitable
when scales are required to access the Torbal server from remote locations. In this connection type you must
have a static internet IP address which can be obtained from your internet service provider (ISP). In
addition, the scales and the server must be assigned with a static IP address. This connection type requires
advanced networking knowledge or assistance from an IT specialist.

Chapter 7: Unpacking and getting started
1. Carefully remove the scale, pan, scanner, and all of its components from the packaging and place them on a
stable base where the scale will not be affected by any mechanical vibrations or air movements.
2. After removing the pan base and the pan from their packaging, carefully install the pan base onto the scale
by placing it on the pan support located in the middle of the scale. Once the pan base has been installed,
gently place the pan on the base as shown below.
3. Set-up the scanner by plugging the RJ45 connector into the scanner and the RS232 connector into the scale.
The RS232 port is located at the rear of the scale. Tighten the connector screws to secure the cable and
prevent it from unintentional unplugging.
4. Connect the Ethernet network cable by plugging it into the Ethernet port.
Wi-Fi Models: mount the Wi-Fi antenna onto the scale by firmly screwing it into the Wi-Fi antenna port
located in the rear.

5. Plug the AC adapter into the AC adapter socket located at the rear of the scale but do not plug it into the
wall outlet. Keep the scale turned Off.
Important!!
Do not plug-in the scale
A/C power adapter into the
wall outlet at this time
6. Level the scale by adjusting the rear feet until the level indicator shows the “air bubble” is in the center
position of the sight glass. The level indicator is located on the rear left side of the scale.
7. Remove the server, the sever power supply, and the Ethernet network cable from the packaging.
8. Connect all scales to the server by plugging in the scale Ethernet cables to ports marked “Scale”. Leave one
Scale port empty for you PC or Laptop connection.
Important: With the exception of Wi-Fi models, step 8 must be performed regardless of the configuration
and connection type chosen for the system. Scales must be first connected to the server in order to be
configured.
- 15 -
Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
9. Connect the server to the internet by plugging in the Ethernet cable to the port marked internet and plug the
server power adapter into the AC adapter socket marked “Power” located at the rear of the server. Power on
the server by plugging the adapter into the wall outlet.
10. The server will power on and begin its system boot sequence which can last several minutes. While booting
up observer the red information diode marked “i” which is located in the front of the server panel. After
approximately 60 to 90 seconds the information diode will light up and stay lit through the booting
sequence. When finished booting up the diode will flash for approximately 10 seconds and then turn off,
indicating that the server is ready for use.
11. Once the server has been turned on you can power on the scales by plugging in the scale AC adaptor into
the wall outlet. Once plugged in, the scale will automatically turn on, go through its initiation process, and
perform automatic internal calibration. After calibration has been completed, the scale’s display will read
“Connecting to server”. This message will stay on until scale “autoconfiguration” is performed on the
server.
- 16 -
Instruction Manual - DRX-5SX SYSTEM
NOTE:
Calibration will initialize automatically whenever the scale is turned on. The scale will also calibrate
whenever the temperature changes by 1 degree Celsius and at two-hour intervals. Calibration will initialize
only if the scale has been stable and idle for 60 seconds, in order not to interrupt counting operations.
When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall outlet for the first time, the scale will automatically and
frequently initialize temperature calibration as the internal parts of the scale warm up. Once the internal
temperature stabilizes, the scale will initiate the time – interval calibration approximately every two hours.
The scale loses internal temperature only when the unit is completely unplugged from the wall electrical
outlet. When the unit is turned off with the On/Off key, the scale goes into standby mode and internal
temperature is maintained.
To put the scale into standby mode, leave the AC adaptor plugged into both the scale and the
wall outlet and press the Power “OFF” button ( ). The “OFF” indicator will light up in the u
pper
left corner of the display signaling the scale is in standby mode, i.e.:
12. Connect a PC or a Laptop directly to one of the server’s ports marked “Scale”. Before connecting, make
sure that the PC is turned off and that the PC network adapter is set to: “Obtain an IP address
automatically”.
