6.8.1 ANIMAL WEIGHING PROCEDURE     With  the platform empty  the display  will  show  zero w eight.   Place  containers 
or blankets onto the platform and press the  [Z/T] key to zero the display.   The 
scale  may  go  into  the  animal  (dynamic)  weighing  pro cedure  when  the  items 
are  placed  on  the  scale  but  will  return  to  showing  zero  when  the  [Z/T] key  is 
pressed.     
 
  Place the animal or sample to be weighed on the pla tform.    
   
  The display will show the Animal/Dynamic weighing s ymbol 
 until a stable 
weight is determined.  The time it takes for the st able value will depend upon 
the setting of the filter parameter in the first st ep.   
   
  When  a  stable  reading  is  found,  the  display  will  sho w  this  value,  and  the 
display will be locked until the  [Z/T] key is pressed.  The display will show the 
“Hold”  symbol while the display is locked. 
 
 
 
   To weigh a second subject press the  [Z/T] key if necessary to zero the display, 
and  place  the  next  animal  on  the  scale.  The  scale  w ill  detect  the  new  weight 
and hold it as before. 
 
  The  scale  will  remain  in  the  animal  weighing  mode  u ntil  the [Unit/

7.0  USER PARAMETERS 
Pressing  the  [Func/C]  key during  normal  operation  allows  the  user  to  access  the 
parameters for customizing the scale. The parameter s are split into 4 groups-  
  
1. Check weighing parameters,   
2. Percent and Animal Weighing Functions  
3. RS-232 parameters and  
4. Scale parameters   
  When  [Func/C]  is  pressed,  display  will  first  show  “FunC 1” for  Check  weighing 
parameters.  
 
  Press  either  the  [Func/C]  key  or  the    [Pcs/

8.0  BATTERY OPERATION 
 
  The scales can be operated from  the  battery  if  desi red.  The battery  life 
can  be  up  to  70  hours  depending  on  the  load  cells  u sed  and  how  the 
backlight is used.  
 
  When the battery needs charging a symbol on the dis play will show less 
bars  in  the  battery  symbol.      The  battery  should  be   charged  when  only 
the battery outline is on.  Once the bars have been  turned off the scale 
will still operate for a short time after which it  will automatically switch 
off to protect the battery. 
 
  To  charge  the  battery,  simply  plug  the  adaptor  into   the  mains  power. 
The scale does not need to be turned on. 
 
  The battery should be charged for 12 hours for full  capacity. 
 
  Near  the  display  is  an  LED  to  indicate  the  status  o f  battery  charging.  
When the scale is plugged into the mains power the  internal battery will 
be charged.  If the LED is green the battery has a  full charge.  If it is Red 
the  battery  is  nearly  discharged  and  yellow  indicat es  the  battery  is 
being charged.

9.0  RS-232 INTERFACE 
   
The  AE  402  indicator  is  supplied  with  bi-directiona l  RS-232  interface  as  standard. 
The  scale  when  connected  to  a  printer  or  computer  o utputs  the  weight  with  the 
selected weighing unit through the RS-232 interface . 
  Specifications: 
                    
  RS-232 serial interface is a plug as figure 2 shows : 
 
  
    1: Pin GND,   Signal Ground 2: Pin RXD,    Received Data 
          3: Pin TXD,    Transmitted Data               
 
  As viewed from the back of the indicator 
    
The scale can be set to print text in English, Fren ch, German or Spanish.  See the RS-
232 parameters section for details.
