Aligning the scale Only scales that have been aligned precisely horizontally provide accurate weighing results. The scales have a spirit level to simplify alignment. Turn the adjustable feet of the scale until the spirit levels air bubble is inside the inner circle. Major geographical location changes The manufacturer adjusts each scale to the local gravity conditions (Geo value). In the event of major geographical location changes, this setting must be readjusted. Certified scales must also be recertified observing the national certification regulations.

2.4

Power supply
The scale can be operated with the AC adapter provided. CAUTION! Damage to the scale. Allow the scale to adjust to room temperature before connecting the power supply.

8217 Mettler Toledo


Host communications The 8217 scale acts as a peripheral device when connected to a host computer. When the host requests weight data by sending an uppercase W, the scale will respond with the weight data or a status byte if the scale is in motion or an invalid state. The host can also request a scale zero operation. In this case the scale will respond with the scale status, so the host can determine if the scale is in zeroing range and/or if the scale is at zero. A scale confidence test can also be initiated by the host to cause the scale to perform RAM, ROM, and NOVRAM tests and put the results in a status byte for later interrogation by the host. Data is transmitted and received by the scale using an RS-232 voltage level interface in the following ASCII format: 7 bit even parity and one stop bit. Data transmission rates are 1200, 2400, 9600, or 19200 baud asynchronous. The host computer must send requests to the scale as specified single uppercase ASCII characters to have it perform various functions. The scale will send a response back to the host computer as a string of ASCII numeric digits or as an ASCII ? followed by a status byte. There must be at least a 200 ms delay between commands to allow for response time at the scale for processing data. The following table shows the standard commands and responses between the scale and the host. If a confidence test results in an error, the scale will not respond to the W or Z commands until the error condition is corrected. An error will also cause the scale to halt any weighing operation until cleared.

Instructs scale to send weight data (W=Weight Digit 0-9). SW1-1 in setup mode determines whether the decimal point is transmitted or not. The scale will respond as follows according to setup and status: Gross Weight Pounds. Gross Weight KG. Net Weight Pounds. ASCII N added after weight. Net Weight KG. ASCII N added after weight. Status byte is sent if scale is in motion, or if net/gross weight is negative or over capacity. See page 27 to determine status byte results. Zero scale command. On the next A/D reading, zero will be captured if the weight is stable, within capture range, and no tare is taken (gross weight mode.) Tare item on platform command. The scale must be at gross zero before placing the item on the platform. Tare will be taken if weight is stable and non-zero. After 150 ms delay, the scale will respond with a status byte. Note Tare must be enabled in calibration mode or scale will not respond.

Scale Status Byte Bit Definitions When the scale responds with STX?status byteCR , this indicates a status byte. The status byte contains scale status information, which can include net/gross mode, zero status, etc. The actual status byte sent will be an ASCII character which must be converted to binary to decode the bits. The scale status bit definitions are shown in the following table. Bit number 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 Bit description 7 Parity bit (even) 1 = Bad command from host 0 = Normal 1 = Net weight 0 = Gross weight 1 = Center of zero 0 = Not at center of zero 1 = Outside zero capture range 0 = Within range 1 = Under zero 0 = Within weighing range 1 = Over capacity 0 = Within weighing range 1 = Scale in motion 0 = Stable weight data

7.1.4

Scale Confidence Test Byte Bit definitions When the scale responds with STX? status byteCR after requesting a confidence test (B), a confidence test status byte will be sent. The status byte contains scale status information, which can include net/gross mode, zero status, etc. The actual status byte sent will be an ASCII character which must be converted to binary to decode the bits. The confidence test status bits are shown in the following table. Bit 6 is set to 1 after a confidence test is performed and reset to 0 after the host reads the confidence test status byte. Note The ASCII @ (decimal 64) indicates all tests were passed. Repeated reads of the confidence byte for all test passed without initiating a new confidence test will result in an ASCII NULL (hex 00).

Taring The tare of an item can be taken either automatically or digitally. The unknown weight of an object can be tared off automatically: Prerequisite The display is not in motion and the weight is above zero. 1. Place the object on the platform. 2. The host sends an uppercase ASCII T followed by CR. The weight is subtracted. The tare function must be enabled. Chain tare is not permitted. A display triangle, located under the least significant weight digit on the scale display, will illuminate to indicate net weight is displayed. An underload will cause dashes to be displayed and a status byte will be sent to the host instead of the weight data.

Remote tare

Digital tare

The keyboard tare is set when an uppercase ASCII T, followed by five ASCII digits and a CR is sent to the scale. The scale weight display must be positive and stable. The tare value input is limited to the scale capacity. In metric mode, the tare value must always end in 0 or 5.

Clearing tare

If auto tare clear is enabled, tare is automatically cleared whenever the scale returns to gross zero after having indicated a stable net weight at least one increment above net zero. If auto tare clear is disabled, tare can be cleared by sending an uppercase ASCII C.

NCI Weightronix
General information The serial communications protocol is used to interface Weigh-Tronix/NCI POS (Point-of-Sale) scales to ECR (Electronic Cash Registers), or other computing equipment (e.g. personal computers). Responses to serial commands will be immediate, or within one weight meter cycle of the scale. The time-out value used by the remote (controlling) device should be 1 second. There are two types of serial commands: mandatory and optional. Mandatory commands must be supported by all products. Status bytes are prefaced by the letter S. Units of measure abbreviations are always upper case. The weight is always positive, therefore there is no polarity byte. The following symbols are used: <ETX> End of Text character (03 hexadecimal) <LF> Line Feed character (0A hex) <CR> Carriage Return character (0D hex) <SP> Space (20 hex) x Weight characters from display including minus sign and out-of-range characters hh Two status bytes UU Units of measure (LB, KG, OZ, G, etc., all upper case)

7.3.5 Weight Command: W

Command description This command causes the scale to return the displayed weight string in ECR format. The scale will usually return the displayed weight with leading zeroes, i.e. no leading zero suppression. If the weight is negative, in motion, over capacity or under capacity, or if a zero error exists, the ECR protocol causes only the scale's status to be returned in response to a weight (W) command. The returned weight string will include decimal point plus units of measure. The length of the weight field will be equal to the length of the scale's display plus three (one for the decimal point, and two for the units, e.g., "LB"). For pounds-ounce weight, the length of the weight field will be equal to the length of the scale's display plus five (one for the decimal point, two for the "LB" and two for the "OZ"). Units of measure will appear in their ANSI standard abbreviated form ("LB" for pounds, "KG" for kilograms, etc.) in uppercase characters. If zeroing criteria are met, the scale is zeroed. In any case, scale status is returned. This is the same as the W command, except that the weight is returned with ten times the scale's displayed resolution. This command causes the scale to change its units of measure. In response, the scale will return the new units of measure and the scale status. This command is optional. It will cause the scale to return the normalized raw counts used for metrology verification. The count value is the same number which is displayed in the scale's division test in its diagnostics mode. For example, this number can range up to 120,000 for the 67xx, 100,000 for the 78xx and 1,000,000 for QDT scales. There will be at least two status bytes. If bit 6 of the second status byte is set, there will be a third byte. Bit 6 of each successive byte indicates whether another status byte follows. The bit will be clear (0) in the last status byte. At this time only the first three bytes are defined. Others may be added later. Bit 0 is the least significant bit in the byte while bit 7 is the most significant bit.
