Product Name Scale Indicator Printer Interface Cable
Product Image scale indicator printer interface cable with serial connectors
Product Overview This interface cable links a compatible weighing indicator to a printer for producing weight tickets, receipts, or labels. It can be specified for livestock scales used at commercial pig farms, cattle handling facilities, feed stores, and agricultural project sites. The cable configuration is selected according to the indicator output, printer input, connector arrangement, and required wiring.
Key Features
  • Provides a wired connection between a compatible scale indicator and printer.
  • Connector type, pin assignment, and cable length can be selected for the equipment pair.
  • Supports practical placement of the printer near a weighing station or farm office.
  • Suitable for replacement work and new livestock weighing system installations.
  • Routing can be planned alongside steel structure scale frames, conduits, and protected equipment cabinets.
Structural Components A typical assembly includes an insulated communication cable, terminated conductors, connector housings or a prepared wire end, and strain relief where required. Shielding and connector fastening are available according to the selected interface and installation conditions. The final assembly depends on the indicator and printer models.
Working Principle The scale indicator sends formatted weighing data through its supported communication port. With the correct cable wiring and matching communication settings, the printer receives that data and produces the configured ticket, receipt, or label. Printing functions and record fields depend on the indicator and printer.
Technical Specifications

Applications Livestock weighing stations, pig sorting and shipment areas, cattle scale installations, feed weighing points, and farm record-keeping desks. It can also serve as a replacement cable in an existing scale and printer setup.
Customization Options Cable length, end connectors, wiring arrangement, shielding, and identification labels are available upon request. Please provide the indicator and printer model numbers, port photographs, and interface manuals so the cable can be specified for the actual connection.
Installation & Maintenance Switch off the equipment before connecting the cable. Match each end to the specified port, secure connector fasteners where fitted, and verify the indicator's print format and communication settings against the printer. Route the cable away from moving gates, pinch points, washdown spray, and power cables. Inspect connectors and the outer jacket during routine scale maintenance.
Product FAQ

Yes. Specify the route between the indicator and printer when requesting a quotation.

What information is needed to confirm compatibility?
Provide both model numbers, clear port photographs, and any available wiring or communication documentation.
