Adam Equipment 3104012701 RS-232 Cable, AE 403 4F-9F 6 Foot, 2-Year Warranty

RS-232 to AE 403 Cable (4F-9F, 6 Foot) — Serial Communication for the AE 403 Indicator

The Adam Equipment RS-232 Cable (SKU 3104012701) is a 6-foot serial communication cable specifically wired for the AE 403 weight indicator, featuring a 4-pin female connector at the instrument end and a 9-pin female D-sub connector at the host device end. It provides a direct, reliable serial link between the AE 403 and a PC, data logger, or other RS-232 host without the need for adapters or custom wiring.

Key Features

• 6-foot (approximately 1.8 m) length provides comfortable reach between the AE 403 and host
• 4-pin female connector mates directly with the AE 403's serial output port
• 9-pin female D-sub (DB-9) connector fits standard PC serial ports and available adapters
• Purpose-wired for the AE 403 — correct pin mapping fully guaranteed
• Eliminates the need for custom wiring or adapter stacking at the instrument end

Detailed Overview

RS-232 serial communication remains a widely supported standard for transmitting weight data from indicators and balances to host computers, printers, and PLCs. The AE 403 uses a proprietary 4-pin connector at its serial output port rather than the standard DB-9 format, making a purpose-built cable the most reliable way to establish this connection. The 3104012701 cable handles the connector translation internally, eliminating the mechanical fragility and potential signal errors that arise from adapter stacking or hand-wired assemblies.

The 6-foot cable length is well suited to typical bench installations where the indicator sits beside a PC or data terminal. The female DB-9 end connects directly to a male RS-232 port on the host and is readily compatible with male-to-male gender changers if required for specific installation configurations. Once connected, the AE 403 communicates with the host system using standard RS-232 weight data formats supported by most data capture and inventory software.

Applications

• Connecting the AE 403 indicator to a PC for live weight data capture and logging
• Linking the AE 403 to a serial printer for automatic weight ticket generation
• Integrating the AE 403 into a PLC or SCADA system via RS-232
• Laboratory and industrial data logging using Adam floor or bench scales with the AE 403

Why Choose the Adam Equipment RS-232 Cable (3104012701)?

Using the correct Adam Equipment cable eliminates all guesswork over pin assignments and connector compatibility, ensuring the AE 403 communicates cleanly with the host device from the first connection. The 6-foot length and standard DB-9 termination make it immediately deployable in most bench and floor scale installations without additional hardware. Backed by a 2-year warranty, it is a dependable and straightforward connectivity solution for AE 403 users.
