13.5. EXTERNAL BUTTONS
Submenu <EXTERNAL BUTTONS> comprises settings that enable the balance to cooperate with
external buttons: TARE and PRINT.
Procedure:
•
press
•
enter <P4 DEVICES> menu
•
enter menu group <P4.5 EXTERNAL BUTTONS>
•
run the buttons

<P4.5.1. TARE> set to <YES> value

<P4.5.2. PRINT> set to <YES> value
•
exit the balance menu
CAUTION:
The balance program enables cooperation with one or both buttons. If you need to connect both external
buttons, first connect a several electrical outlet to COM 2 port, next connect buttons TARE and PRINT to the
electrical outlet. Connect the printer or terminal to COM 1 or to the electrical outlet (determine the PRINTER-
BALANCE transfer perameters). Every time the user presses TARE and PRINT external button, the balance
reacts as if TARE and PRINT buttons of the balance keyboard were pressed.
If you need to use only one button, connect it directly to COM 2 port or use the electrical outlet.
In order to ensure the proper cooperation, you need to remember:
•
to connect additional buttons to COM 2 port,
•
to connect the buttons to appropriate sockets of the electrical outlet if in use (see descriptions above),
•
to activate the buttons in the balance parameters (see description above),
•
to disconnect other external devices (additional display or barcode reader) on COM2 port (for these devices it should
be <NONE>),
•
to set the port for <PRINTER> to <COM 2> value if the printer is connected to the electrical outlet (CPU socket).
Set of external buttons TARE and PRINT.
Standard balance equipment does not include the set of external buttons.
14. COOPERATION WITH PERIPHERALS
CAUTION!
A peripheral device that is connected to RS 232 or USB port of a balance, has to be
powered from the common low voltage grid equipped with common anti-shock protection in
order to provide that possible occurrence of different potentials in zero cables of the peripheral device
and the balance is precluded.
