Recycling Information and Instructions on Disposal and Repairs In Germany and many other countries (see www.sartorius.com, Service Download area for details), Sartorius or the organization contracted by us takes care of the proper return and legally compliant disposal of its electrical and electronic equipment on its own. These products may not be placed with the household waste or brought to collection centers run by local public disposal operations – not even by small commercial operators.
Data Interface (Options) Installation § Disconnect the power supply: Unplug the AC adapter from the wall socket (mains). § Turn the balance/scale on its side. ! To avoid damaging the weighing system, do not turn the balance/scale over so that it rests on the weighing pan/load plate. § Push out the panel on the bottom of the balance/scale. § Insert the interface. § Make sure the interface snaps into place. § Guide the cable through the channel/raceway.
Intended Use of YADAP-USB Adapter This USB interface adapter is a solution that enables direct connection of the balance/scale to a computer on the USB (universal serial bus) port. The USB interface is implemented as a virtual serial interface over RS-232 (virtual COM port). For the application program running on the computer, there is no difference whether the serial interface is installed in the PC or enabled in the form of a virtual interface. The interface offers the same capabilities in either case.
Installing the Software Driver § Run the Installation Wizard for the driver. § Open the settings for the USB serial port in Windows®: – START > My Computer > Control Panel – System > Hardware > Device Manager § Follow the instructions that appear. § Open the Connections submenu. § To complete the installation, click on Finish. § Double-click on USB Serial Port. $ The virtual interface is ready for use. § Select Port Settings > Advanced.
