SETUP

Once installation is completed, the interface parameters must be entered using the
Setup Menu (reference the CT Series Manual). When the interface is installed in the

Print submenu to enter the interface parameters includes:

RE-ZERO button replaces the TARE button.)

The first item displayed will be the RS-232 parameter selection. Pressing the UNITS
button repeatedly enables you to scroll through the Print submenu. Pressing the TARE
button lets you access the displayed selection.
