Anilam and Acurite used the same scales for a while. A sheet I have
gives the details for Acurite.
Looking at the plug on the cable holding the connector with the large
key on top the pin on top is pin A, pin B,C,D,E,and F go clockwise from
there.Pin A is ChanA,color white, Pin B isChanB,color green, Pin C is
Vcc +5 volts,color red, Pin D is Common power and signal return,color
black, Pin E is Shield, Pin F is Fiducial Trigger Output,color blue. All
are TTL compatible open collector with internal pull up, 7mA max current
sink. Good luck. Ed.
