will deduct the displayed weight value as tare weight. Then indicator displays net weight as 0 , and
Tare sign annunciator is on.

3.4 ACCUMULATING FUNCTION

In weighing mode, when the displayed value is positive and stable as well, press [Accum] key to
accumulate the present weight and display the accumulated weight, the accumulate annunciator will
be on. Press this key again, it will back to weighing mode and the accumulate annunciator will be off.
The next accumulating operation must be performed after the weight return to be zero. When the
accumulated weight displayed, press [Func] key to clean the accumulated weight in Memory and
press [Accum] to return weighing mode. If the accumulated weight needs to be checked, please keep
the load of platform to be zero, then press [Accum] to display the accumulated weight.

3.5 COUNTING FUNCTION

In weighing mode, press [Func] to enter the counting state, it will display count, and press [Accum]
it will display C00000, then press [Tare] to move the digit corresponding with the small triangle, the
number corresponding with the small triangle will be increased one by one each time after pressing
[Zero] key; and it will enter counting function after the sample number inputted and [Accum] pressed.
0 will be displayed and the counting annunciator will be on. Press [Func] key to return weighing mode.
After entering counting mode, count will be displayed, press [Accum] twice times to enter counting
mode directly, indicator will display according to the result of the sampling last time. (In this process, if

3.7 CONNECT SCOREBOARD TO INDICATOR (FUNCTION OPTIONAL)

3.7.1. Electric current or RS232 interface is used for scoreboard signal, which is transmitted in
serial binary code style. The baud rate is 600.
Make sure that scoreboard and output lead are connected correctly. If there is something wrong

with connection, damage will happen to output port of instrument and input port of scoreboard,
sometimes, the damage is so big to influence the instrument and scoreboard. Only specially
provided connecting cable is allowed to be used.

3.8 SERIAL COMMUNICATION AND INDICATOR CONNECTION

Make sure that communication interface output lead and computer are correctly connected, if
there is something wrong with connection, damage will happen to output port of instrument and
input port of computer, sometimes, the damage is so big that instrument, computer and
corresponding peripherals are got involved.

Necessary computer technology and programming expertise are required for computer
communication, which should be participated and instructed by professionals. Non-professional
staff is supposed not to be involved in this regard.

With RS232(optional) serial communication interface, the XK3190-A12 indicator can be connected to
computer for communication.
1. All data are ASCII code, every set of which is composed of 10 bits: the 1st is starting bit, the 10th is
stop bit, the middle in between are 8 data bits.
Communication mode as follows:
(1). In continuous mode:
The data transmitted is weight (Gross weight or net weight)
The format of G.W.ww000.000kg or ww000.000lb
The format of N.W wn000.000kg or wn000.000lb
NoteThe position of above decimal is decided by the decimal set on the indicator.
(2). In command mode:
The indicator performs the corresponding operation according to the command transmitted from
the indicator.
Command R The indicator receives and sends weight data once time (the format is the same as
the continuous mode)
Command T The indicator receive the command and tare (the same as tare key); if no receipt of
the command. The indicator returns CR LF
Command Z The indicator receives the command and zero (the same as zero key); if no receipt
of the command, the indicator returns CR LF.

Chapter 6 Chargeable Battery

6.1 Turing on the AC power, the indicator will charge the battery automatically. So if you dont use
battery frequently, you should take battery out.
Note: red end is +, black end is -. Wrong connection will destroy indicator.
Note: The built-in battery should be fully charged before it is used for the first time.
6.2 Only when you turn off the AC power, and push start key, battery works. Displaying [LouoL] means
the insufficient of voltage, it needs charge.
6.3 When you use the battery first time, you should charge the battery for 20 hours in order to prevent
low voltage resulted from the self leakage of the battery.
6.4 If you dont use battery for a long time, you should charge the battery for 10-12 hours for each 2
month to prolong using life of battery.
6.5 The battery is easily exhausted products. And it is not granted free guarantee.
