BAT.VLT (Battery Voltage)
The indicator can be setup for a variety of different batteries. The low battery
annunciator will display when the battery voltage drops below 1V per cell. For
example, a 6 cell, 7.2V battery pack, has a low battery level of 6V. The indicator
will assume it is on battery power when its input voltage is less than twice the
low battery level for the selected battery voltage. In the PWR mode the indicator
will always assume it has external power. Correct function of the low battery
warning is dependant on correct setting of the battery voltage.
Options are:
•
PWR: (External power – battery not used)
•
4.8, 7.2, 9.6,12, 24 (Battery voltage)
•
Default: 4.8
7.4.5. SERIAL (Serial Communications Options)
Settings within this Group determine the serial and printing outputs. Refer to Serial
Outputs page 47 for more information on Serial configuration.
TYPE (Serial Output Type)
Sets the function of the first serial output. The port can be disabled or set to run
as an automatic output or a network device.
Options are:
•
NET: Network Communications.
•
AUTO: Enables 10 Hz automatic transmission using the format
selected below (SERIAL:FORMAT).
•
SINGLE: Enables transmission on pressing the <PRINT> key using the
format selected below (SERIAL:FORMAT). A long press of the
<PRINT> key has no effect.
•
PRINT: Enables printer driving.
•
AUTO.PR: A single printout occurs when the weight is stable after
being at zero, and higher than the greater of 20 divisions or zero band.
•
Default: NET
FORMAT (Serial Output Format)
The Format determines the transmission format for AUTO and SINGLE serial
types.
•
FMT_1: Format 1.
•
FMT_2: Format 2.
•
MASTER: Send contents of LCD display to a remote display.
•
CUSTOM: Send a custom print string to a remote display.
BAUD (Serial Baud Rate)
The baud rate determines the serial data transmission speed.
•
Options are: 2400, 4800, 9600
•
Default: 9600
BITS (Serial Format Options)
The Bits options allow the data transmission bit pattern and interface to be
changed. The display will show the current setting in the form n81- where each
character has a meaning as shown below.
