    The CT Series RS-232 Accessory is a bidirectional interface which enables the balanceto communicate with a printer or computer that is equipped with an RS-232 serial port.The Interface assembly is easily installed in the balance and all communicationparameters are configured using the Setup Menu (reference the CT Series Manual).

    Before installing the Interface assembly, observe the following:

    WARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNINGWARNING

    To prevent damage to the balance, be certain that the power supply isdisconnected before removing the cover.

    Even though the balance may have been switched OFF, voltage is presentinside the balance as long as the power supply is connected.

    If the AC Adapter is being used, disconnect it.If batteries are installed, remove them.

    INSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

    To install the RS-232 Interface Acces-sory, first remove the Pan from the bal-ance, and turn the balance upside down.(Do not remove Pan on CT3000L andCT6000 Models.)

    1. The bottom plate is held by fourscrews, one located in each corner.Remove the four screws and lift offthe bottom plate.

    NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:On earlier models the bot-tom plate is held by one screw lo-cated toward the center of the plate.

    2. On the rear of the balance, a protec-

    tive label is provided which coversthe hole for the 9-pin RS-232 con-nector.

    Peel off the label to expose the hole.

    3. Place the circuit board and connec-

    4. Fasten the assembly using the two

    scriptions for the connector.

    The balance will not output any informa-tion unless pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ONstate (+3 to +15 VDC). Interfaces notutilizing the CTS handshake may tie pin5 to pin 6 to defeat it.

    NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:NOTE: This interface does not strictlyadhere to the official RS-232 standard(particularly in the connector used). How-ever, it is compatible with what is com-monplace in the microcomputer indus-try.

    DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

    The Ohaus Portable Advanced balances are precision weighing instruments, de-signed to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. The PortableAdvancedhousing is constructed of a material which is impact resistant, contains aone piece solid-state precision electronics PC board, and a five digit LCD display whichis 0.5 inches in height. All Portable Advancedbalances are initially factory set tomeasure in grams and can be set to measure in other units of measure as desired.Each balance operates through a series of menus which enable precise calibration andthe selection of various parameters which enhance operation. A built in lock switchprevents calibration settings from being changed. Power is supplied through an ACadapter or batteries. Accessories include: an RS232 Interface Kit which allows printingof results through an external computer or printer, security device, calibration masses,scoops and carrying cases. See accessory section.

    Portable Advanced balances can be calibrated in two ways: Span calibration orLinearity calibration. Span calibration resets the balances weighing range using twopoints: zero and a calibrated mass value at or near the balances capacity. Linearitycalibration minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within thebalances weighing range using three points: zero, a calibrated mass value within thebalances weighing range, and a value at or near the balances specified capacity.

    Display DescriptionDisplay DescriptionDisplay DescriptionDisplay DescriptionDisplay Description

    Err 0Err 0Err 0Err 0Err 0 This indicates a hardware error causing an invalid checksum on calibrationdata. The balance may need recalibration, particularly linearity calibration. Ifthe error persists after recalibration, the balance must be serviced.

    Err 1Err 1Err 1Err 1Err 1 Sample being weighed exceeds the capacity of the balance. If error occurswhen the sample is within the balance capacity, balance may be incorrectlycalibrated. An underload such as the platform off of the balance could alsodisplay Err1. Recalibrate the balance.

    Err 2Err 2Err 2Err 2Err 2 This indicates a hardware error causing an internal weight signal which is toohigh. The balance must be serviced.

    Err 3Err 3Err 3Err 3Err 3 This indicates a hardware error causing an internal weight signal which is toolow. The balance must be serviced.

    Error 3 appears on the display as "- - - ". It will be sent over the RS232 interfaceas "Err3" if that accessory is installed.

    It is recommended to use an Ohaus cable,however, you may configure your own.

    On the rear of the balance, a 9-pin submin-iature D connector is provided for inter-facing to other devices. The pinout and pinconnections are shown in the adjacentillustration.

    The balance will not output any data un-less pin 5 (CTS) is held in an ON state (+3

    to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing theCTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 todefeat it.

    Connect the cable from the balance to theexternal device.

    If communication parameters of the exter-nal device match the factory settings, the

    Interface is ready for use. Refer to Print-ing. If not, refer to Configuring the PrintMenu to change the interface parameters.
