DP-6200 Operation Manual
Before using the scale, carefully read, understand, and follow the “Safety Instructions” described in this manual. Observe the
advice given in the “Directions for Use” section to ensure proper operation. Keep this operation manual handy for ref-
erence.
To prevent injury
1) DO NOT SHOCK LOAD the scale, Never step on or sit on the scale. Not only will the scale be damaged, but you may
also be injured.
2) DO NOT APPLY DIRECT WATER SPRAY to the scale if it is powered by an AC adaptor!! You could receive a shock. The
scale is not washdown unless the AC jack is plugged with a water-tight seal.
4) Do not operate the scale if there is smoke or a burnt smell coming from the scale. Remove the batteries or unplug the
AC adaptor immediately. After making sure that there is no danger, consult your dealer. Never try to repair the scale
by yourself.
5) This scale is not an explosion‑proof model. Do not use the scale in an atmosphere containing ammable gases or
explosive fumes. A re or an explosion can result.
6) Place the item to be weighed in the center of the platform. Items placed on the edge of the platform may fall off and
cause injury.
7) When weighing a heavy, large or unbalanced item, make sure the item is stable on the platform, otherwise an accident
may occur.
8) When carrying or moving the scale, be sure to hold it by the bottom of the weighing platform with both hands. If you hold
it by the column, the column may become detached causing the scale to fall. This will damage the scale and could cause
injury.
9) Do not insert your nger into the gap or holes in the scale. You may be injured.
10) The DP-6200 uses a liquid crystal display. If the LCD breaks and the liquid leaks from the LCD, do not touch it with your
ngers. The liquid is toxic if ingested. Be especially careful around small children.
To prevent damage to the scale
1) Do not push the indicator or keys with sharp objects. They may break or puncture the switch membrane panel.
2) Use the specied power supply and choose a suitable environment. If you do not, the weight readings may be inaccurate
and the scale may be damaged.
3) The scale is a sensitive weighing instrument, avoid physical shocks. If you drop something on the scale, overload the
scale, step on the platform, or drop the scale, the scale may be damaged and lose accuracy.
4) If the scale becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, apply a little neutral detergent and then wipe the
scale with a dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzene, hot water, or chemical agents, all of which can cause deformation, dis-
coloration, or deterioration of the scale.
5) Never remove the case. The ne adjustment section may be damaged and you may be injured by sharp edges on the
internal parts.
6) Do not place the scale upside down.
7) When the low battery indicator appears, replace all six of the batteries. When installing the batteries, install them accord-
ing to the polarity markings in the case (+, -). If the scale will not be used for a long period, remove the batteries.
8) Never connect or disconnect the RS-232 cable while the DP-6200 and a connected computer are on. The DP-6200 and/or
the computer may be damaged. RS-232 ports are not hot-swappable.
To keep the scale working efciently
1) Place the scale on a at stable surface that will support the scale and the load.
2) Do not place the scale in an area exposed to direct sunlight or to wind currents from an air conditioner, otherwise, the mea-
surements will not be accurate.
3) Do not place the scale near machines that create vibrations or electromagnetic disturbance, such as microwave ovens,
portable phones, or large motors. This will affect the accuracy.
4) The operating temperature range is from –5°C to +35°C (23°F to 95°F). Do not subject the scale to sudden temperature
changes; allow the scale to adjust to the new temperature before use.
5) If the scale is sealed, do not break the seal. If you break the seal, the scale will not be considered legal for trade. In this
case, contact your dealer.
6) Do not disassemble or modify the scale, you will void the warranty. Modied scales will not be legal for trade.

DP-6200 Operation Manual
Assembling the Scale
Seat the column (1) rmly in the column bracket (2) . It may be necessary to loosen the stop (3)
and locking (4) screws. Align the stop screw hole in the column with the stop screw and tighten.
The stop screw must enter the stop screw hole for a secure column mount. Tighten the two locking
screws.
Adjusting the Indicator Angle
Loosen the indicator set screw, rotate the indicator right or left to the desired position and tighten
the set screw. Press the angle adjustment button, tilt the indicator up or down to the desired posi-
tion and release the button.
Leveling the Scale
Place the scale on a at and level surface. There is a bubble level indicator next to the column
bracket. The bubble should be in the center of the circle. Adjust the trim by turning the feet in or
out to lower or raise the corner of the scale the foot is on. When the scale is level, tighten the lock
nuts on each foot and recheck the level. If the scale is not level, the readings may not be accurate.
Installing Batteries or AC Adaptor
Open the indicator housing by pulling the release tab (located to the right on the back of the indi-
cator) forward and swinging the front panel of the indicator housing forward and left. Install six “D”
size alkaline batteries observing the polarity markings inside the battery case.
Use only the AC adaptor specied for use with the scale. Using the wrong adaptor can damage the
scale. Insert the adaptor plug securely into the jack on the back of the indicator.
WARNING! The DP-6200 is not washdown unless the AC adaptor jack is plugged with a water-
tight seal.

Connecting the RS-232C Option
With the DP-6200 and the device it is being connected to both powered off, connect the DB-9 (F)
end of the cable to the DB-9 (M) port on the back of the indicator housing. Connect the other end
of the cable to the serial port on the other device (i.e. - computer, printer, etc.) To connect the DP-
6200 to a PC, use a DB-9 (F/F) straight thru cable. Do NOT use a null modem cable. Power on
the DP‑6200 and congure User Parameters 03 to 08 as desired for your serial communications
(see section VII User Parameters.) Congure the connecting device to the same serial settings ac-
cording to the manufacturer's instructions. The default RS-232 settings for the DP-6200 are:
Keyword Default Function Description
03 001 Communication Specied commands acceptable
04 000 Communication Data Net weight (1 batch)
05 000 Communication Speed 9600 bps
06 000 Character Length 8 bits
07 002 Parity Even
08 001 Stop Bit Length 2 bits
* * * WARNING * * *
RS-232 is not a hot swappable connection. Connecting or disconnecting the serial cable while the
DP-6200 and/or the serial device are powered on can damage the circuits of either device. Power
off both the DP-6200 and the serial device before connecting or disconnecting the serial cable.

Turning the Scale On and Off
Remove everything from the platform surface and press the
ON
key. The display will briey ash
all segments of the LCD. After approximately 5 seconds, the display will stop ashing and auto-
matically set to zero. Press the
OFF
key to turn the scale off.
Checking the Battery Level
Turn the scale on and push the
T
key while the display is ashing. The remaining battery life
will be displayed. The more “o”s that appear, the more life there is left in the batteries. After a few
seconds, the scale will start normally.
Zero the Display
The scale will zero automatically when turned on. If a value is displayed when the platform is
empty, push the
ON
key to zero the display. The maximum zero range during power up is ap-
proximately ± 1.9% of the scale capacity.
Switching Units
To switch between kilogram and either pound, ounce or pound-ounce units, press and hold the
NET
GROSS
key and press the
T
key.
The CAL Indicator
If the CAL indicator is visible, the DP‑6200 has not been congured to be sealed for legal for trade
use. System parameter 40 must be set to 003 for all legal for trade applications. For instructions on
changing the system parameters, please see section IV Changing the Scale Setup in the DP-6200
Technical Manual.
