1.5m RS-232 Interface Cable For Floor And Pallet Scales, Non-Retrofit - KERN

Product information "1.5m RS-232 Interface Cable For Floor And Pallet Scales, Non-Retrofit - KERN"

Combine compact RS‑232 connectivity, an included 1.5 m interface cable and direct compatibility with KERN floor, platform and pallet scales for reliable data transfer; order the interface directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for configuration advice.

KFN-A01 RS-232 data interface – KERN, for floor and pallet scales, includes 1.5 m cable

The KFN-A01 RS-232 data interface delivers dependable serial communication for KERN floor scales, stainless-steel platform scales and pallet scales, enabling straightforward transfer of weighing data to terminals or PCs.

  • RS-232 serial interface with cable
  • 1.5 m interface cable supplied
  • Compatible with KERN BFN, SFB and UFN

Streamlined data capture for process control

The RS‑232 standard remains a robust choice for industrial weighing applications thanks to its simple, well-documented wiring and broad device support. By offering a dedicated serial connection the interface secures fast data capture from scales into data loggers, label printers or legacy terminals without intermediary conversion. For production environments this means fewer protocol issues, reduced integration time and a predictable data flow from the weighing point to backend systems. The clear, unambiguous signal format reduces the need for repeat readings and supports traceable record keeping.

Fast installation and assured compatibility

The KFN‑A01 arrives with a 1.5 m interface cable ready for immediate connection, minimising setup time on the workshop floor. Intended for KERN models such as BFN (floor scales), SFB (stainless-steel platform) and UFN (pallet scales), the module is supplied as a factory-fit option and is not retrofittable, so planning for initial integration is advised. The compact module and supplied lead support neat cable routing and straightforward mounting, helping to avoid common installation delays and maintain the uptime of weighing processes.

Reliable workflow and supply assurance

Compact in design and light in weight, the interface contributes to a tidy installation that integrates with production routines and measurement systems. Choosing accessories from established brands and a trusted distributor reduces procurement risk: Metav combines decades of precision expertise with central supply from Emmerich, a broad product range and consistent stock handling. This supplier reliability supports uninterrupted operations and aligns with quality-driven purchasing policies in industry and trade.
