6.2 Options
All optional equipment must be specified when ordering the balance. Retrofitting is
only possible if carried out by a METTLER TOLEDO service facility.
RS232C interface and interface accessories
Every balance can be equipped with an optional RS232C interface for connection to
a peripheral device (e.g. printer, auxiliary display or PC with a 9-pin male connector,
see Section 6.4). The balance must then configured to suit the peripheral device in a
menu dialog (Sections 4.3.8 – 4.3.11).
A detailed description of the available interface commands is given in the “Reference
Manual MT-SICS B-S/L/L-S balances 11780447”. This can be downloaded from the
Internet (www.mt.com/pl or www.mt.com/al see “Support”) and is only available in
English.
The wide range of features of the L/L-S balances regarding documentation of the results can be utilized by connecting to a printer,
e.g. the GA42 or LC-P45 from METTLER TOLEDO. Printed results then make a decisive contribution to simplifying GLP/GMP-
compliant work.
RS232C special interface – only for auxiliary display PL-S
This interface can only be used with the special auxiliary display for PL-S balances (see Section 6.4), which will be available in
2004. Please ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details.
When this auxiliary display is connected, no special settings need to be made in the menu.
Internal battery charger “AccuModule”
The models in the compact construction can be supplied with an internal battery charger “AccuModule” as an optional extra. They
can then run on rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones. See Sections 2.3.3/6.4.
