1.0 Introduction
The 920i Weigh Center can be installed on most Rice Lake Weighing Systems livestock
scales. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using
the latest technology to provide operating features and reliability unmatched for years to
come.
This manual provides operating instructions and configuration information for the 920i
Weigh Center.
Manuals and additional resources are available on the Rice Lake Weighing
Systems website at www.ricelake.com
Warranty information can be found on the website at www.ricelake.com/

Safety Signal Definitions:
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. Includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided could
result in serious injury or death. Includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed.
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
Indicates information about procedures that, if not observed, could
result in damage to equipment or corruption to and loss of data.
General Safety
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been
read and all instructions are understood. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing
Systems dealer for replacement manuals.
Failure to heed may result in serious injury or death.
Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this unit.
Do not operate without all shields and guards in place.
Do not use for purposes other than weighing.
Do not place fingers into slots or possible pinch points.
Do not use any load bearing component that is worn beyond five percent of the original
dimension.
Do not use this product if any of the components are cracked.
Do not exceed the rated load limit of the unit.
Do not make alterations or modifications to the unit.

CAUTION

WARNING

Do not remove or obscure warning labels.
Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.
Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the indicator enclosure.
These procedures are to be performed by qualified service personnel only.
Always be certain when lowering the scale that everyone is clear of the scale and any
moving parts.
Use two hands when gripping the lift handle to raise or lower the scale.
Be sure the gates are latched or tied inward before transporting the scale.
Ensure all three hitch lock pins are installed and the suspension stops are in the transport
position before moving the scale.
Livestock scales are not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods.
Any addition of weight to the scale while in transport mode can cause premature component
failure and voids the Rice Lake Weighing Systems warranty.
Animal Safety
Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any type of
animal.
The scale surface may become slippery during use; a build-up of manure on the scale may
reduce traction. It is recommended to take any necessary precautions to maintain an
acceptable level of animal footing.
Calibration
Do not calibrate this scale with a weight cart having a gross weight in excess of 25% of the
total capacity of the scale. See the scale installation manual for specific calibration
instructions. This device is designed to be calibrated with single block weights spread
evenly throughout the floor of the scale. If using a test cart, use 3/4'' plywood for testing and
calibration. This will minimize the damage to the x-lug flooring. Shift tests should not be
done with more than 4,000 lb or 1,815 kg in a 4' x 4' area. Failure to comply with this warning
will result in damage to the scale and void the warranty.

1.1 FCC Compliance
United States
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at
his own expense.
Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise
emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of
the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n'émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant
les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de la Class A prescites dans le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique edicté par le ministère des
Communications du Canada.

1.3 Overview
Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when
handling any type of animal. The scale surface may become slippery
during use; a build-up of manure on the scale may reduce traction. It is
recommended to take any necessary precautions to maintain an
acceptable level of animal footing.
The Weigh Center houses the 920i indicator and ticket printer. Figure 1-5 shows the
layout of the control box. Figure 1-6 on page 7 shows a close-up of the 920i indicator. The
control box is powered by a deep cycle battery located in the battery box mounted to the
scale frame. This battery is normally charged during towing; however, if the battery is low,
charge it using a trickle charger.
Figure 1-5. Weigh Center
The Weigh Center should be given at least 15 minutes to warm up in cold weather
prior to use.

% Delta Wt Set the percent change in the printed weight before the live total starts getting
updated again;
Example: If 1000 lb is weighed and most of those animals leave the scale and the
next batch starts coming on (scale does not go all the way to zero), when it is at 100 lb
(default is 90 percent change in weight) or 1100 lb (either direction) it will start
updating that weight again.
The live total should show more than the regular total if they’re getting close to
weighing capacity (if the scale only holds 20,000 and their last total was 19,500, they
will want to only add 500 worth of animals).

1.6 Mount to Animal Scale
Use the following steps to mount the 920i Weigh Center to the animal scale (see Figure 1-
9 on page 11 and Figure 1-10 on page 12).
1. Use mineral spirits to clean the wall tubes where the bracket will mount, as well as
the space between the holes on the mount bracket.
2. Run a bead of silicone in the area where the mounting bracket will be mounted.
3. Install the adhesive tape on the mounting bracket between the holes.
4. Place mounting bracket onto cage wall by pressing the adhesive tightly to the cage.
5. Secure with four bolts (included).
6. Mount Weigh Center onto the mounting bracket and route the cable to the battery.
7. Install the clamps to secure the conduit.
8. Secure the lower end of the conduit by drilling a hole through the cage sheeting and
install the clamp with the bolt provided.
