About This Manual
This manual contains operating procedures for the DC-200/300 counting scales and provides the user with all the
information necessary for setup and operation. It is organized based on the procedures you will likely follow
when setting up and using your counting scale. This manual applies to Version 21.51 of the DC-200/300
counting scale series.
Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the scale base. These procedures are to
be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Authorized distributors and their employees can view or download this manual from the

1.0 Introduction
The DC-200/300 counting scale offers practical solutions for a full range of precision counting applications. A
bright dot matrix LCD display enables operators to easily view quantities, and a second line of alphanumeric text
messaging displays operator prompts and part numbers to enable job sequencing. Four thousand item memory,
three standard RS-232 interfaces and Ethernet connectivity enable the DC-200/300 Series to provide real-time
data collection and position it for the future growth of your business. Multiple scales can be connected to the
DC-200/300, as well as bar code scanners, external printers and keyboards, making it the hub of a sophisticated
weighing system. The DC-300’s built-in direct thermal printer instantaneously generates labels and allows you to
produce reports such as item, inventory and shelf location. Its ninety-nine custom label formats provide the
flexibility to create labels containing only the information needed for each application. When portability is
required, choose the battery operation option of the DC-200 for over 10 hours of continuous use for mobile
workstations, outdoor applications, and rental fleets. It’s built to withstand transport from one area of the plant to
another or from one business to the next. Simply connect a printer via RS-232 for labeling tasks.
1.1 Capacities and Resolutions
Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 list the scale capacities and resolutions for all models of the DC-200/300 counting
scales. The system weighing accuracy is 0.02 percent.
Counting scales specify two types of resolution:
• Weight (or external) resolution
• Counting (or internal) resolution
Weight resolution is displayed in divisions of the full scale capacity which is divided into weight increments. For
example, a 5-lb scale divided into 10,000 display divisions would display weight with 0.0005 lb divisions
(10,000 divisions x 0.0005 lb = 5.0 lb).
Counting resolution is based on the internal resolution of the scale. The weight and counting resolutions for the
DC-200/300 capacities are shown below and apply to all models of DC-200/300 counting scales.
