board, and it blinks in red or green when the power is turned on.
4. Fuature
- The BT converter makes the RS-232C cable connection wireless.
- Providing the power from the weighing device to the BT
converter, the BT converter can be used by simply inserting to
the device.
- The AD-8529PC-W for PC connection is identified as COM port
at a PC, so the existing application software such as WinCT to
be operated on the Windows can be used
.
5. How to use
Note
- When the converter for PC of set for PC connection is used, it is
necessary to install the driver in the PC beforehand. The driver is
included in the provided CD-ROM, or download it from the

】
Refer to “12. Installing the driver” when confirming
installing method for the driver.
Driver’s installation is only required when the converter is
connected to the PC at the first time.
- When a type of connector for the weighing device is
D-Sub25 or DIN7 pin, it is necessary to use a cable
described in “9. Accessory”.
- Some weighing devices and any printers other than the
AD-8127 separately require an AC adapter, conversion
cable for printer connection, etc. Refer to the A&D’s
website for details.

RS-232C connector for the weighing
device to be used.
2. Connect the AD8529-PC (gray) to the
USB port on the PC.
3.
Confirm that the LED on the
AD8529-PC is blinking in green.
If the LED is not blinking in green, refer to
“7. When seeming to be malfunctions”.

RS-232C connector for the weighing
device to be used.
2.
Connect the AD8529-PR (blue) to the
RS-232C connector for the printer to be used.
3. The communication becomes effective when
the LED on the AD8529-PR blinked in green.
Data can be sent to the printer by pressing
the PRINT key on the weighing device.
* The balances or printers are set so that
the BT converter can be connected using
factory settings to them.
6. Pairing method
The pairing for the BT converter is normally unnecessary
because it
has been done beforehand.
