ADVENTURER BALANCES
2.4
Connecting Power
Connect the DC output connector to the power receptacle on the rear of the balance. Then connect the AC power
cord to a suitable electrical outlet.
CAUTION:
For use with CSA certified (or equivalent approved) power source,
which must have a limited current output.
Attention: For optimal weighing performance, allow the balance to warm up for 60 minutes
prior to use.
2.5
Connecting the Interface
Use the built-in RS-232 Port to connect either
to a
computer or a printer with a standard (straight-through)
serial cable. Or connect using the scale’s USB port.
Interface connections on the rear of the balance: USB connection on the front of the balance:
.
USB1: Used to connect to PC only
USB2: Used to connect a USB flash driver only
RS232: Used to connect to PC or Printer
Note:
For configuration and interface commands, see the Communication Menu Settings section.
For Connecting, Configuring and Testing the Printer/Computer Interface, and for sample Print Output Formats,
see the Printing section.

Initial Calibration
When the Balance is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be calibrated to ensure
accurate weighing results. Most Adventurer Balances have built in AutoCal which can calibrate the balance
automatically and does not require calibration masses. If preferred, the balance can be manually calibrated with
external masses. Have the appropriate calibration masses available before beginning calibration. Refer to the
Calibration Section for masses and calibration procedure.
¤ AutoCal™
Fully automatic internal calibration system that assists with routine maintenance by automatically calibrating the
balance daily is available on most models.
Automatically calibrates the system when it senses a temperature change sufficient enough to affect weighing
accuracy (>1.5°C), or every 11 hours.
¤ External Calibration
Select precision models feature traditional external calibration in which external weights (user’s choice of calibration
weight values) are used to calibrate the balance to ensure accuracy.
