3 Connect the cables
￭ Connect the ground cable for the balance to the metal clip at the
underside of the housing of the Sample Processor.
The clip is located on the rear part of the bottom of the housing.
￭ Connect the RS-232 connection cable of the balance to the
COM1 connector of the PC.
￭ Connect the mains cable with the mains adapter of the mains
supply.
Note
Afterwards, check once again to see if the balance is still leveled.
For this, use the supplied 6.2831.000 inspection mirror. This
makes it possible to read off the spirit level of the balance, even if
it is now located under the Sample Processor.
Setting the interface parameters
The parameters of the data transmission between balance and PC must
match on both devices.
We recommend using the following parameters:
￭ Baud rate 9600
￭ Data bit 8
￭ Parity None
￭ Stop bit 1
￭ Handshake None
