Introduction

The PC-150 Digital Bench Scale is a com-

pact, 150 lb (70 kg) capacity bench scale

with display and five function keyboard. It

comes standard with a bright LED screen for

easy readout, a removable stainless steel

platform, and an RS-232C serial communi-

cation port.

The scale can be configured to display its

divisions in two separate modes – non-

NTEP mode and NTEP mode. The scale is

shipped from the factory configured in non-

NTEP mode. The NTEP mode is supplied

for scales that need to comply with Hand-

book 44 requirements. To re-configure the

scale, please refer to the “Setup Menu

Mode” section of the manual.

The PC-150 uses full duplex RS-232C serial

format for communication with personal

computers or remote displays. The unit can

transmit data on demand or continuously in

several popular data protocols.

The scale’s serial communication parame-

ters are altered through the User menu The

“User Menu Mode” section of the manual

explains how to use the five front panel keys

to maneuver and save settings in this menu.

Installation and Wiring

The PC-150 back panel comes equipped

with a female DSUB-9 connector for the

RS-232 serial port, a jack for DC power

input, a calibration switch and an

ON/OFF rocker switch. To install the

scale, simply plug the enclosed AC Wall

Adapter into the scale’s DC power jack

first, then into an AC outlet (115 VAC

only). Finally, turn the rocker switch to

the ON (“1”) position. The scale is now

ready for use.

ZERO Better known as the “Center of Zero” annunciator, this light is active whenever the

displayed weight is within ± 0.25 divisions of true zero.

NET Indicates that the scale is displaying net weight.

GROSS Indicates that the scale is displaying gross weight.

TARE Indicates that the tare weight in the system was established by means of the push

button method.

lb and kg Indicates the unit of the displayed weight.

STABLE This light indicates that the scale is in equilibrium.

KEY FUNCTION

ZERO Sets scale to display "0" only when a) in Gross mode, b) not in overload and c) not in

motion.

NET

GROSS Toggles between Gross and Net weight display if a tare has been established.

TARE Used to establish the weight on the platform as the tare weight. You cannot establish

zero or negative gross weight as a tare. Also, the scale must not be in motion or in

overload.

Toggles between lb and kg units if enabled in the User (“A”) Menu.

PRINT Sends "Print" data to serial port if scale is not in motion or in overload.

User Menu Mode

The PC-150 scale includes a User menu that contains the scale's serial communication pa-

rameters. It consists of 5 separate menu selections, each also with its own sub-menu of choices.

To change a listed parameter, you must first enter the User Menu mode. Once there, four of the

front panel keys become directional navigators to move around in the menus, and one key is

used to save or SET the selections.

To place the unit in User menu mode:

1. Turn the power off to the unit.

2. While holding down the lb/kg

key, turn the power back on.

3. When the display shows "A1",

the unit is in User Menu mode,
