  Power Requirements The BC operates over an input voltage of 5 VDC, at a current of 100 mA or less. The scale is powered through the USB port on the scale so the USB cable is always used for power.

• Page 15: Environmental Requirements

  An external 5 VDC power supply is required for power to the BC scale for standalone applications, RS232 applications, Ethernet applications or BlueTooth applications. For these applications, the scale will be powered by the universal power adapter located in the scale’s shipping box. The wall mounted transformer is rated between 110-220V and 50-60 Hz.

Scale Confidence Byte Format When communicating in host mode using the standard Toledo protocol, the host may ask the BC to store and send confidence bytes containing information about RAM, ROM, and EEPROM testing. The message <STX>?<confidence byte><CR> indicates transmission of a confidence byte. The confidence byte sent is an ASCII character that must be converted to binary form for decoding the bits.

  A.5. Calibrate Using Host Interface The BC shipping scale can be calibrated using the host interface. The command to initiate the calibration sequence is available in the METTLER TOLEDO command set. Calibration is based on the current scale configuration for units and capacity/increment. These can be changed (through the keypad or the host interface) before calibrating the scale through the host interface.
