Interface Description
General Information
This description has been written for users who wish
to connect their Sartorius balance, which has a built-in
V24/V28-RS-232C(-S)*)/423 interface port
as a standard feature, to a computer or a different
peripheral device.
By using an on-line computer, you can change,
activate and monitor the functions of the balance.
In addition, an external universal switch for remote
control of various functions can be connected to the
data interface port on the balance.
If you interface an original Sartorius accessory
device, such as a Sartorius Data Printer or a similar
unit, with a balance that has the factory-set menu
codes, you do not need to change any settings.
Interfacing Devices with the Balance
Please note that the interface port is electrically
connected to the protective grounding conductor
(protective earth = PE) of the balance housing.
The cabling supplied as accessory components is
shielded and electrically connected on both
ends to the cases of the connectors. This electrical
connection may result in interference caused by
ground loops or by transient currents if you have
grounded the housing or connected the protective
grounding conductor for AC power. If necessary,
connect an equipotential bonding conductor
to the balance.
