CONNECTING EXCEED W SCALE TO COMPUTER
1. Connect your Exceed W scale to your computer’s available serial port using its RS232 cable (this
interface cable is optional and is sold separately from the scale). Refer to latter part of this manual on
how to purchase this interface cable.
2. You may download the sample PC program that displays the weight of items placed on Exceed W Scale.
You may download this at:
http://www.postagescale.com/MSI/ExceedW_PC_Program_XMRev1.zip
3. Run the program and choose the correct computer serial port where your Exceed W scale is connected.
4. The weight displayed on your scale’s LCD is also displayed in this program.
USER CALIBRATION OF THE EXCEED W SCALE
In case the scale loses its accuracy, then user calibration of the scale may be needed. The load cell of this
precision scale is normally protected against overloaded weight applied slowly, but overload caused by dropping
the scale or d ropping something heavy on the scale may require re-calibration.
For user calibration you may need a calibration weight. But this cal weight should be greater than ¼ of the scale
maximum capacity. For example, in this scale of 500g, you can take any weight greater than 125g to 500g. Let’s
say you have 200g weight.
Press Auto-CAL during the start-up of the scale. A cursor will blink. Input 20000 from the keyboard. Display will
change to CAL 0 in the first line and 0.00gm in the second line. Wait until the display change to CAL 1. Put 200g
on the platform and wait until the scale enters the normal weighing mode.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE
The scale is designed to operate in a normal room temperature. If subjected to cold or warm temperature, it
should be allowed to reach the room temperature before operating.
ERROR DISPLAY
- - - - - -
will display if the scale’s maximum capacity is exceeded. DO NOT OVERLOAD THE SCALE, as this may
damage the sensor permanently.
