Overview

ScaleLink 2 is a technician-friendly wireless solution built for the weighing industry. Out of the box, it transmits and receives serial communications between scale indicators, remote displays, computers, and printers — standing in for a standard serial cable. Going wireless removes the need for expensive wiring, trenching, and conduit, while also reducing exposure to transient voltage damage from events like lightning strikes.

Each ScaleLink 2 features:

Transmits up to 300 ft. indoors/indirect or 1,000 ft. or more outdoors/line-of-sight, using frequency-hopping spread spectrum transmission to reduce interference.

Works with virtually any scale indicator, remote display, computer, or printer via RS-232, RS-422, or 20mA Current Loop (Active and Passive) — with multi-drop support for up to 32 units.

Built-in LED display window and diagnostic tools let technicians check transmit/receive data and adjust baud rate or radio channel on the spot.

Pairs with XR-4500TL remote displays for wireless traffic light control in vehicle scale applications.
