take several seconds if the weight is not stable at that time. During the time that the scale takes to zero, the reading of the zero's value in internal points is displayed. The scale then automatically sets a known weight value and shows the following display: 0.000 I I I...
COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL TPV 0 (Protocol $): To operate with this protocol, the value ' T YPE 0' must be selected in the 'TPV CONEX' option. The possible values in this option are 'TYPE A' and 'TYPE B'. The next step is to select the transmission mode: 'WAITING' (awaiting request), 'AUTOM' (automatic) or 'MANUAL'.
Page 23
Automatic This communication mode is compatible with the basic work modes Weight- Tare, Levels and Part Counting. The scale automatically sends the weight with the trace described in the section 'Awaiting request'. Manual This communication mode is compatible with the basic work mode Weight- Tare.

After sending the weight, the scale waits for an answer before the end of the preset time (TIME OUT). If no answer is received when this time expires, the scale displays 'Error 9'. If the character ' A CK' is received before the time has elapsed (TIME OUT), the scale beeps, displays the indication ' T XD OK' for 2 seconds and finally beeps again, returning to the weight mode.

TPV 10 (VECTRON Protocol): The scale continuously sends the weight when the TPV enables (set) the DTR signal. As the Eco Multifunction scale does not have DSR, the TPV's DTR is input through RxD of the scale's RS-232 communication connector. This requires a special cable.
- 'IF' (0x53, 0x49), if the weight is out of range, over or under. - 'S ' (0x53, 0x20), if the weight is stable. - 'SD' (0x53, 0x44), if the weight is unstable. SEPARATOR - ' ' (0x20, 0x20), two blank spaces. DATA - Weight in grams, with max.
