Connection of Analytical Balances

As it often happens that the sample is weighed in on an analytical balance, it makes sense to connect this
balance to the TITRONIC
configured accordingly. For the following types of balances there are already assembled connection cables:
Balance
Sartorius (all type with 25-pole RS-232), partially Kern
Mettler, AB-S, AG, PG, Sartorius with USB-Port
Precisa XT-Serie
Kern with 9-pole RS-232
For all other types of balances it is possible to obtain an already assembled connection cable (on demand).
For this we need detailed information about the RS-232-C-interface of the balance used.
The connection cable is to be connected to the RS-232-C-interface 2 of the TITRONIC
connection cables always consists of a 4-pole mini-plug. The other side of the cable can, depending on the type
of balance, be a 25-pole plug (Sartorius), a 9-pole plug (Mettler AB-S) or a 15-pole specialised plug (Mettler AT)
etc.
In order to allow the balance data to be sent to the TITRONIC
titrator and the balance must correspond to each other. Additionally, it is necessary to carry out some more
standard settings on the side of the balances:

The balance is to send the balance data via RS-232-C only by means of a print command

The balance is to send the balance data only after the display standstill

The balance should never be set to "automatic sending" and/or "send continuously"

"Handshake" on the balance must be set to "off", or even "Software Handshake" or "Pause"
No special characters such as S or St are allowed to be used as prefix in the balance data of the balance data
string. In such a case it might be possible that the TITRONIC
After you have connected the balance with the appropriate cable and have adjusted all settings in the balance

the one method. Confirm the sample designation. Then, the display asks you:
a) to press the print-button at the balance
 Parameters to "weighted sample automatically"
b) to enter the weighted sample  then the parameters are still set to "weighted sample manually"
Put an object onto the balance and press the print button.
After the standstill of the balance display there will be beep and the transmitted balance data appear:
a) the display changes automatically into the measuring display.
b) the weighted sample must again be confirmed with <ENTER>/<OK>.
