CHAPTER 4 TESTING

The RS232 Interface in the Explorer balance can have its performance monitored using an external printer or computer
connected to the balance.
The RS232 Interface is a bi-directional interface which enables the balance to communicate with a printer or computer
equipped with an RS232 serial port. An RS232 menu is in the balance. This menu enables various parameters such as Baud
rate, Data bits, Stop Bits and Parity to be set in the balance.

AS017-09 or AS017-02 cable. Make sure the end of the cable marked balance is connected to the balance.
2.Make sure the communication parameters (Baud, Data Bits, parity, stop bits) are matched. refer to the instruction
manual.
3.Press the PRINT button on the balance.
4.The terminal program should display whatever was on the display of the balance.
5.Send an Upper case V from the terminal program to the balance.
