4.5.7 Internal Arrangement
User installable printed circuit boards will slide out of the rear of the case once the case and rear panel have been
removed as described above.
4.5.8 Cleaning
Turn off the instrument and unplug all connectors. Use a soft cloth or tissue and a mild cleaner. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Do not allow any cleaner inside the instrument.
4.5.9 Fuse Replacement
The power-line fuses of AC-powered instruments are located within the instrument’s power entry module on the
rear panel. Use two 2A, 250V fast-blow fuses.
5.0 SYSTEM CONNECTOR
5.1 Introduction
The 25-pin D-subminiature System connector is used for the following:
• Communication by RS-232 or RS-485. RS-232 DCE standard designations have been maintained
• Digital Function Inputs, such as for resetting tare, peak and latched limits
• Open-collector digital Limit Outputs for limits 1 through 4 (not available on DFI 1550)

The Limit Output pins and Function Input pins are electrically isolated from the rest of the instrument.
The RS-232 and RS-485 communications pins are electrically isolated from the rest of the instrument.
The RS-232 and RS-485 interfaces are exclusive; an instrument cannot have both.
