2.1.1 CONNECTING THE SERIAL PRINTER, REMOTE DISPLAY OR COMPUTER
The TC-100 series Scale comes standard with one serial port, designated COM1. COM1 is
a full duplex, RS-232 port designed for connection to either a PC or a serial printer. It can
also be connected to a simplex device such as a remote display.
COM1 is wired to a physical connector, a D-SUB9 female. Refer to the TC-100 Operation
Manual (Appendix B) for some suggested cable diagrams. (A 9-pin pin Male D-type
connector is required).
2.1.2 CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
1. The Scale ships standard with an external AC to DC adapter. Simply plug the AC
adapter into the Scale’s DC Power Jack first, and then plug into a standard wall outlet.
Make sure that the AC voltage appearing at the wall outlet matches the input
voltage marked on the AC adapter.
