1. Introduction

This manual describes how to handle the Multi-Interface AD8561. Read the

instruction manual thoroughly before use.

For the information on the AD8561 and its related products, please refer to

the A&D website (

https://www.aandd.co.jp/ ).

2. About the AD-8561

2-1. Features

The following operations are enabled when the AD8561 is connected to the

RS-232C output on the GC-series (hereinafter called ‘counting scale’).

ڧ Transmitting and receiving data from Dsub 9 pin

(between the counting scale and a connected device such as a printer)

ڧ Transmitting and receiving data from USB micro B: AD8561MI02 only

(between the counting scale and a connected device such as PC)

ڧ Comparator output: AD8561MI04 only

(from the counting scale to a connected device such as a comparator

lamp)

ڧ Sending texts to the counting scale from USB Type-A with a barcode

reader or keyboard (from a barcode reader/keyboard to the counting

scale)

Each color of the LED lights shown below indicates different status.

(For how to restart the device, refer to ‘4-1. Connection to Power Supply’)

2-2. Precautions for Use

ڧ The power for the AD8561 can be supplied from the counting scale with

an accessory cable. When another cable is used, an AC adapter for power

supply may be required. (

Refer to ‘4-1. Connection to Power Supply’)

ڧ Make sure to check the rating of the AC adapter before attaching it.

Inappropriate power supply may cause malfunction or damage to the

internal circuitry.

ڧ Magnets are used for simple fixation.

*When there is any magnetically sensitive device such as a balance nearby, they

can affect the device. In this case, remove the magnets from the AD-8561.

ڧ Magnets are not strong enough to secure the interface to a wall. To attach

to a wall, first attach the AD-8561 to a GC-14, an option for the counting

scale, with screws, and then attach the GC14 to a wall (with screws or by

hanging it on a wall). For the details, refer to the instruction manual for the

GC14.

4. Connection to Other Devices

4-1. Connection to Power Supply

ڧ Supply power from the counting scale by connecting an accessory cable

to the connector on AD8561 (use a Dsub 9 pin).

ڧ When the accessory cable is not used, an AC adapter should be used to

supply power from the DC jack.

z When using a commercially available cable to which the 9

pin of

the connector is not connected

z When communicating between the counting scale and AD-8561 at a

distance longer than 1m

*A cable longer than 1m, which is optionally available, is not connected to the

pin of the connector and therefore requires power supply from an AC

adapter. (Refer to (3) in ‘8-3. Optional Devices’)

ڧ Make sure to check the specifications when using an AC adapter. An AC

adapter with a center negative plug that outputs DC 9 to 12V is usable.

ڧ The main unit is activated when it is connected to the counting scale or

when an AC adapter is inserted into the DC jack. Once it is activated, a

blue LED light is turned on.

ڧ To restart the interface, remove the cable or AC adapter and confirm that

the LED light is turned off. Then, reconnect it to turn the power on.

4-2. Connected Devices

ڧ Set the function F-06-03 of the counting scale to ‘1.’

5. Communication Specifications
