6500 Configuration Using Viewer Configuration of the 6500 can be performed using the Ranger 6500 Viewer software for Microsoft Windows. The 6500 must be connected to the PC using the secondary RS232 port located behind the units plate. Wiring requirements for the cable are given below. The secondary serial port must be configured as a Network Slave, however this is the default operation of this port.

These modes are available from the Serial Setup menu, accessed by holding the ITEM key, and selecting the required mode. Summing Network Master The 6500 queries and sums the weight of a number of slave 5000 / 5100 units connected together on a multidrop RS422/RS485 bus. The resulting total weight is displayed on the 6500.
