1. Introduction
This document is intended for After Sales Support technicians working on the versions of RI Series
and Atoll scales.
This manual gives details of the product codes of the parts and the make up of sub-assemblies. It
describes the maintenance operations most commonly performed on the scales. All questions relating
to the software are not treated in this manual but in the tutorial file "HeliosEng.chm"
This manual also lists the spare parts and sub-assemblies available as standard from OHAUS in the
appendix (see page 99). These spare parts and sub-assemblies are used to perform the main
maintenance operations described in the manual. You can order them by EDI, giving their respective
MTCIMF codes.
If you want to make any comments on or correct the contents of this manual, ask the MT-F Technical
Support team to contact the MTVIRY Design Department.

- Scrolling programming menus, for very simple use.
2.1 Metrological characteristics:
Only the weighing base is sealed.
an internal cable connects the sealed compartment to the main board.
- Maximum range: 15kg / Minimum scale: 5g / Maximum tare: 9.9995kg
or
(Maximum range: 6kg / Minimum scale: 2g / Maximum tare: 6.000kg
- Cummulative semi-automatic tare with subtractive effect.
- Predetermined tare (Numbered from 1 to 9) or associated with a PLU
- Unit price scale: 0.01€ (maximum unit price: 9999,99€)
- Price to pay scale: 0.01€ (maximum price to pay: 9999.99€)
2.2 Electrical characteristics:
The priority order in case of several supply at the same time is:
1- External battery 24 volts
2- Mains
3- External battery 12 volts
4- Internal battery pack
- Operating temperature range from -10°C to +40°C.
- Mains power consumption about between 10 to 50VA.
- Power supply voltage: 90 to 264VAC 47 to 440 Hz.
- Internal battery pack (11 x NI-MH elements): 13.2 V / 3Ah on RI Series,13.2 V / 3.8 Ah on
Atoll time life between 8 and 40 hours depending use of back-lit and printing.
- 12v or 24v external battery
- Up to 10 scales can be networked. A network can combine the multi-user and direct sales
(DS) modes.

Keyboards type 4 and 5 are entirely definable by the user excepted for the following 20 keys which
have fixed location.
-10 numerical keys
-1 "V" key : Record seller or validate the functions
-1 "*" key : Total request
-1 "+/x" key : Record or multiply non weighed articles.
-1 "_" key : Subtract
-1 "T" key : Tare request
-1 "ANN" key : Cancel an entry
-1 "PLU" key : Switch to PLU mode (numerical inputs call up a PLU)
-1 "PLU" key : Switch to "Non PLU" mode (the numerical input enters a unit price)
-1 "C" key : Reset to zero or cancel an operation
-1 "," key : Decimal point.
- Keyboard number 1 and 2 :
6 direct users, up to 30 indirect users, 40 direct PLUs, 8 function keys.
The direct PLU keys (from 1 to 40) can be labelled. Blank labels supplied with the scales fit into
the areas delimited by the keys.
Programming keyboard on the opposite side of the working key board.
This side of the keyboard is used to program all the machine's functions.

- Keyboard 4:
the 20 location fixed keys have the same location as keyboard 1, all the other keys are
definable by the user depending of his wishes.
- Keyboard 5:
the 20 location fixed keys have the same location as keyboard 3, all the other keys are
definable by the user depending of his wishes.
3. Installation
1) Place the scales on a flat surface.
2) Set the scales level using the feet.
3) Plug the scales into a 230V mains socket or connect to an external battery.
4) Check that there is a roll of thermal paper in the printer. To do this, swing the keyboard
backwards. Lift the keyboard assembly vertically and insert a roll of paper if necessary (be careful
about the direction it unwinds in).
5) Close the keyboard until it clicks into place and press the switch (On/Off).
Maintenance:
1) Use the cleaning liquid to maintain the printer. Pour a few drops on some tissue and rub on the
ceramic part of the thermal print head. Only use the cleaning liquid supplied with the scales (isopropyl
alcohol). Any other product may cause premature wear of the printer.
