Connect a scale
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
- In EU member states, `certification is legally required
|
|
<https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv%3AOJ.L_.2014.096.01.0107.01.ENG>`_
|
|
to use a scale as an integrated device.
|
|
- Odoo is not certified in several countries, including France, Germany, and Switzerland. If you
|
|
reside in one of these countries, you can still use a scale but without integration into your
|
|
Odoo database. Alternatively, you can acquire a *non-integrated* certified scale that prints
|
|
certified labels, which can then be scanned into your Odoo database.
|
|
|
|
To connect a scale to the IoT system, use a USB cable. In some cases, you may need a serial-to-US
|
|
adapter to complete the connection. If the scale is `compatible with an IoT system
|
|
<https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_, no additional setup is required; the scale is
|
|
automatically detected as soon as it is connected. If the scale is not detected, reboot the IoT box
|
|
or :ref:`restart the Windows virtual IoT service <iot/windows_iot/restart>` and :ref:`update the
|
|
scale's drivers <iot_updating_iot/handlers>`.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
If the scale still does not function after updating the drivers, it might not be `compatible with
|
|
the Odoo IoT system <https://www.odoo.com/page/iot-hardware>`_. In such cases, a different scale
|
|
must be used.
|
|
|
|
Once the scale is connected to the IoT system, follow these steps to configure it in the POS
|
|
settings:
|
|
|
|
#. :ref:`Access the POS settings <configuration/settings>` and select your POS, or click the
|
|
vertical ellipsis button (:guilabel:`⋮`) on a POS card and click :guilabel:`Edit`.
|
|
#. Scroll down to the :guilabel:`Connected Devices` section and enable :guilabel:`IoT Box`.
|
|
#. Select the scale in the :guilabel:`Electronic Scale` field.
|
|
#. Click :guilabel:`Save`.
|
|
|
|
.. seealso::
|
|
:doc:`Connect an IoT system to a POS </applications/sales/point_of_sale/configuration/pos_iot>`
|
|
|
|
The scale is then available in all the :doc:`POS's sessions </applications/sales/point_of_sale>`.
|
|
If a product is configured with a price per weight, selecting it on the :guilabel:`PoS screen` opens
|
|
the scale popup. The cashier can then weigh the product to automatically add the correct price to
|
|
the cart.

Ariva S scales
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
For Ariva S series scales (manufactured by Mettler-Toledo, LLC.) to function with IoT systems, a
|
|
specific setting must be modified, and a dedicated Mettler USB-to-proprietary RJ45 cable is required.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
The official Mettler USB-to-RJ45 cable (Mettler part number 72256236) must be used. Contact
|
|
Mettler or a partner to purchase an authentic cable. **No other** cable works for this
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
To configure the Ariva S scale for IoT system recognition, refer to page 17 of `Mettler's Setup
|
|
Guide for Ariva S series scales <https://www.mt.com/dam/RET_DOCS/Ariv.pdf>`_ and follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
#. Hold the **>T<** button for eight seconds, or until :guilabel:`CONF` appears.
|
|
#. Press **>T<** until :guilabel:`GRP 3` appears, then press **>0<** to confirm.
|
|
#. Under :guilabel:`3.1`, ensure the setting is set to :guilabel:`1` (USB Virtual COM ports) and
|
|
press **>T<** to cycle through the options under group 3.1.
|
|
#. Once :guilabel:`3.1` is set to :guilabel:`1`, press **>0<** to confirm the selection.
|
|
#. Continue to press **>0<** until :guilabel:`GRP 4` appears.
|
|
#. Press **>T<** until :guilabel:`EXIT` appears.
|
|
|
|
.. important::
|
|
Do **not** make any other changes unless otherwise needed.
|
|
|
|
#. Press **>0<**.
|
|
#. Press **>0<** again to :guilabel:`SAVE`; the scale restarts.
|
|
#. Reboot the IoT box or :ref:`restart the Windows virtual IoT service <iot/windows_iot/restart>`.
|
|
The scale should then appear as `Toledo 8217`, as opposed to the previous display, where it
|
|
appeared as `Adam Equipment Serial`.
