Your indicator requires an RS-232 / 20mA output for data transmission. The

RS-232 / 20mA connector is located on the bottom of the indicator and is a 9-

pin male connector. Connect a printer following the pin assignments listed in

Figure 8.

RS-232 Connector Pin Assignments

If your indicator is configured to allow

printing, from the gross or peak-view

mode, press

PRINT / SELECT

. . .

Data is transmitted and the data

configured to be printed will be output

to the printer. See Figure 9 for a

sample printout.
