Hardy HI6600 Reference guide

  • Hello! I have analyzed the provided Quick Reference document for the HARDY Weight Processing Module and Hardy Gateway Module. This document provides information about the LED indicators, network communication, and parameter manipulation via USB. I'm ready to answer your questions about the devices and their functions.
  • Where can I find Gross and Net weights?
    What is the default IP address for the Hardy Gateway Module?
    How do I save parameters using a USB?
