In this section, you will learn how you unpack and install your new Ranger Counting Scale and prepare it for
operation. On completion of the steps described in this section, your Scale is ready for operation.
Remove packing material from the instrument.
Check the instrument for transport damage. Immediately inform your
Ohaus dealer if you have complaints or parts are missing.
Store all parts of the packaging. This packaging guarantees the best
possible protection for the transport of your instrument.
Open the package and remove the instrument and the accessories.
Check the completeness of the delivery. The following accessories are
part of the standard equipment of your new scale.
 1 Removable power cable (supplied only with battery operated
scales)
 1 Set of operating instructions
 1 Warranty card
2.1 Unpacking and checking contents
Your scale employs state of the art technology and meets the latest
demands regarding instrument safety. For safe and dependable opera-
tion, please comply with the following instructions:
 The Scale must not be operated in a hazardous environment and
only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.
 Only use approved accessories and peripherals.
 Do not tamper with the retaining screws for the load plate support
underneath the weighing pan.
 It is not permitted to open the scale by removing screws in its base.
 The scale is a precision instrument, handle it carefully,
 Your scale is supplied with a 3-pin power cable with an equipment
grounding conductor. Only extension cables which meet the relevant
standards and also have an equipment grounding conductor may
be used. Intentional disconnection of the equipment grounding
conductor is prohibited.
2.2 Safety considerations
Section 2 - Installation

10
2.3 Locating and leveling the scale
2.4 Connecting power
The scale should always be used in an environment which is free from
excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity
extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the scale:
 Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature
changes.
 Near air conditioning or heat vents.
 Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
 Near magnetic fields or equipment that generate magnetic fields.
 On an unlevel work surface.
 In confined areas, allow sufficient space around the instrument for
ease of operation and keep away from radiating heat sources.
 Adjust the leveling feet so that the scale is exactly horizontal and the
air bubble in the indicator is centered.
NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is
changed.
Check to ensure the voltage printed on the scale label matches your local
line voltage. If this is not the case, DO NOT connect the scale to the
power supply, but contact your responsible OHAUS dealer.
Connect the power cord from the scale to a suitable power source. If the
scale is equipped with an optional internal battery, connect the AC cord
supplied to the rear of the scale.
Allow your scale to warm up for at least 30 minutes to enable it to
adapt itself to the ambient conditions. If the scale has been stored in a
very cold environment before installation, it may require several hours to
stabilize.
The scale now performs a self-test, loads parameters, displays the
software version, capacity, and the normal weight display then appears.

2.5 Battery operation
The scale is equipped with one bi-directional RS232 interface for commu-
nication with printers and computers. When the scale is connected
directly to a printer, displayed data can be output at any time by simply
pressing the PRINT UNITS button or by using one of the RS232 Mode
print features. (A second optional RS232 interface is also available).
Connecting the scale to a computer or printer enables you to operate the
scale from the computer, as well as receive data such as displayed
weight, weighing mode, stability status, etc. and to have a permanent
printed record.
On the rear of the scale, a 9-pin male subminiature D connector is
provided for interfacing to other devices. Table below indicates pin
connections.

See Accessories listed in paragraph 6.5. Connect a suitable cable from
the scale to the external device.
Review paragraph 6.2, RS232 Interface for additional information regard-
ing formats and command table.

2.6 Connecting communications
Scales with a built-in battery automatically switch to battery operation if
there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. The battery symbol
indicates the current discharge status of the battery (1 segment = 25%
capacity). If the symbol flashes, the battery must be recharged.
A discharged battery requires at least 8 hours until it is recharged. During
the charging process, work with the scale can continue, but under these
conditions, a longer charging time is needed.
In normal use, the battery can operate the scale for up to 30 hours
independent of the AC power line. The battery is protected against
overcharging and the scale can remain connected to the AC power line.

12
2.7 Connecting a second scale for piece counting
The RS connector(s) on the rear of the scale can also be used to connect
2 scales, together for a counting system. Use the scale - to - scale cable
listed in the accessory section.
Connect the cable between the scales.
The host scale (scale 1) must be a Ranger Count. In the RS menu of the
host MODE should be set to:
REF 2 If remote scale is used for average
piece weight reference.
BULK 2 If remote scale will be the bulk counting
scale.
The remote Ranger Scale can be a Ranger Count or Ranger simple
weighing. The remote scale should be set to DIALOG in the Mode sub
menu.

Press the TARE button briefly to tare the scale. The zero display and NET
(net weight) symbol appear. Items to be weighed can now be placed on

subtracted and the weight of the item is displayed. If the container is also
removed, the scale will indicate a negative number which represented the
tared weight. To clear this, press the TARE button.

3.7 Gross/Net/Tare recall operation
When a container has been placed on the scale and tared, its weight is
stored in memory. Adding material to the container is shown as NET
weight. The gross weight is a combination of the tared weight and the
material. The G/N/T Menu button allows switching between GROSS, NET
and TARE weights.
Repeately press (short presses) the G/N/T Menu button to cycle through
Gross, Tare and Net readings. The sample illustrations indicate a tare
weight of 0.020kg representing a container, a net weight of 1.000kg
which would be the material in a container and a gross weight of
1.020kg which is the total weight of the container and material. After 5
seconds, display returns to net weighing.
NOTE: The display uses symbols for NET and Tare. NET=NET, T=Tare.
Gross=B/G.

Automatic reference optimization results in more accurate counting on
piece counting duties. This function can be activated or deactivated in
the Setup menu. The factory default setting is ON.
Automatic reference optimization requires no action on the part of the
operator. The Auto Opt symbol appears in the lower right hand side of
the display when this function is active.
Operation:
In order to optimize the calculated reference piece weight automatically, a
number of pieces less than or equal to the number of reference pieces
already on the pan are added to it. The message AUt OPt appears in the
display and automatic weight optimization is carried out. This process
can be repeated several times.

3.12 Add mode
Add mode ensures that the number of reference pieces used on piece
counting applications is not too small, which could produce inaccurate
results. This function is activated in the Setup menu. The factory default
setting is OFF.
If you have activated add mode and the number of pieces placed on the
pan is too small for accurate determination of the reference weight, you
are prompted to place more pieces on the scale (e.g. 2 pieces).
Place the stipulated number of pieces on the pan. The scale then deter-
mines the reference weight.
