## Overview

The following document explores the processes of unboxing and assembly of the Serial Traceability System.

**Estimated Time Required for Unboxing and Assembly**: 20 mins

**Disclaimer**: Please power on the device only after all the connections are made.

## Unboxing

- Carefully cut open the tape that covers the package.

- Open the box and remove the foam packaging.

- Carefully remove all the contents from the box.

- Check the contents against the packing list.

## Assembly

The assembly of the Centralized Label Management solution contains 3 main steps.

### Step 1: assembling base plate

- Hold the base pad in your hand and follow the instructions:

  - Put the M8 bolts through the holes labeled as A in the diagram after aligning the keypad stand on the same holes.

  - Set the M4 screws through holes labeled B.

  - Make sure all the screws are fastened.

**Disclaimer**: Please ensure no obstructions between the plate and scale before tightening it.

### Step 2: mounting the data logger

- Note that the side with the Device ID and the QR code is Up, and the provision for the ports is Down.

- Keep the assembly from step 1 such that the front of the weighing scale and keypad faces you.

- Take the Weighing Scale Data Logger, and ensure you are holding the equipment upright.

- Attach the Weighing Scale Data Logger using the spring mount to the din rail by snapping it on.

**Tip**: The Weighing Scale Data Logger seamlessly moves up and down the length of the supporting rail.

### Step 3: connecting cables

- Connect the Weighing Scale Data Logger to the scanner using the RS232 cable.

- Connect the Weighing Scale Data Logger to the weighing scale using the RS232 and fasten the screws.

- Connect the DC to the DC cable for the scanner to the IN port.

- Connect the DC to the DC cable for power to the OUT port.

## Powering on

If you want to use the printer's power supply for powering the system, please use Option 2. Otherwise, to power the device separately, use Option 1.

### Option 1

- Power the IoTReady Data Logger with the provided 5V adapters.

### Option 2

- Power the IoTReady Data Logger with powerbanks.
