IMPORTANT Damage caused by improper packaging is not covered by the warranty.

2.2 Setting Up Scale

Move the scale into the area where the weighing process will occur. Place the scale on a hard, level surface for the most accurate weighments.

2.2.1 Insert Batteries

The six AA batteries supplied with the scale provide an average of 25 hours of continuous use. To install the batteries:

  1. Turn thumbscrew counter clockwise then remove battery cover.
  2. Insert batteries into the battery chamber as illustrated.RICE LAKE 150-10-7 Digital Physician Scale Floor-Level User Manual - Figure 2-1
  3. Put the cover in place and turn the thumbscrew clockwise to secure.

Note
Remove the batteries prior to storing if the product is not going to be used for an extended period of time.

Note
If the LO BAT indicator activates, for accurate weighing, replace the batteries or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible.

2.2.2 Power Connection

An optional AC power adapter can be used when a power outlet is available.

IMPORTANT
Only use power adapters supplied by or purchased from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. The use of a power adapter not from Rice Lake Weighing Systems voids the warranty.

Note
The battery annunciator on the display turns off when using an AC power connection.
The brightness of the backlight is reduced to 60% when using battery power.

2.2.3 Leveling the Scale

Use the level bubble to check for level and adjust feet as needed.

4.0 Communication

The unit comes with an RS-232 port that enables weight data to be transmitted to other equipment, such as a computer or printer. The RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector (PN 100719) is available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems. That connection is shown in USB Connection section on the next page. The RS-232 parameters are:

  • 9600 baud (selectable in the programming mode)
  • 8 data bits
  • 1 stop bit
  • no parity
  • no handshaking

There are three methods of communication:

  • Push-button keypad print
  • Standard remote protocol
  • Escape protocol

4.2 USB Connection

The scale has the capability of connecting to a Windows® computer (PC) using a USB cable (not included) and a terminal emulation program. A terminal emulation program allows the transfer of data between the scale and PC using a serial port.

RICE LAKE 150-10-7 Digital Physician Scale Floor-Level User Manual - Figure 4-1

Note Apple® and Macintosh® computers are unable to transfer the necessary data to the scale. Only use a PC for data transfer.

Connecting software and downloads should always be addressed by the IT department for safety reasons and can vary depending on what type of computer platform is being used.

Consult the IT department if driver protections are preventing the use of the USB driver. Driver protections may need Note to be temporarily disabled on Windows 10 or later computers to allow for the installation of the USB driver.

  1. Connect the scale’s indicator to a PC using a USB-Type B to USB-Type A cable (not included).
  2. Turn the indicator on.
    Note
    In most cases, the PC should find the driver and automatically configure the driver when the scale is plugged into a USB port.
  3. Open a terminal emulation program, such as Advanced Serial Port Terminal, putty or Hercules (used in this example).
  4. Connect to the serial port assigned by the PC (COM5 in example). This can be found in Device Manager. Once selected, press Open.RICE LAKE 150-10-7 Digital Physician Scale Floor-Level User Manual - Figure 4-2
  5. With weight on the scale, press and hold the Print button on the indicator for three seconds. The patient’s weight is
