XC880A OWNERS MANUAL
6.2 Remote Switches
The XC880A includes 3 external inputs, which can be connected to
momentary pushbutton switches, and programmed to emulate certain function
keys when pressed.
The switches are connected to the I/O port located at the rear of the
XC880A enclosure.
See Table 6.1.2 for details on connecting switches
. The
switches do not have to be connected to program the inputs. Follow the steps
below to program the remote switches.
1. Press numeric ‘0’ followed by the ‘PARM’ key. The XC880A
prompts to “SET EXT SWITCH?’
2. Pressing ‘0’ now will cancel the operation and return the scale to its
previous mode. Pressing ‘1’ will continue to next setup.
3. The user is prompted to set switch 1. Press ‘0’ to continue to the next
switch, or ‘1’ to program switch 1.
4. The XC880A prompts to ‘PRESS A KEY TO EMULATE’. Press a
valid function switch on the keyboard, and the switch being
programmed will activate that function. If an invalid key is pressed at
this point, a message will be displayed indicating an invalid function
for that key. Repeat procedure for switch 2. Scale will return to
previous mode when done. Valid keys include ZERO, TARE, SCALE
SELECT, PRINT, COUNT and RESET.
