The CS5000 base has available two communications channels, the standard interface for
both is RS-232. One is equipped with a CTS (clear to send) line and designed primarily for
hookup to a printer. The second channel consists of signal wires only and is designed
primarily for hookup to a score board or computer.
Channel 1 outputs a ticket:
Channel 2 outputs the net weight:
There is a five switch dip pak located on the main circuit board inside the base unit, it's
switches have the following meanings:
