2.0 Scale Assembly
2.1 Unpacking Your Scale
Place the unopened box in an open area that has ample room for unpacking the scale.
Parts contained in the shipping box include:
• The scale
• This manual
• The indicator
• AC adaptor (located in white box)
2.2 Repacking
If the Dietary Fitness Scale must be returned for modification, calibration or repair, it must be properly packed
with sufficient packing materials. Whenever possible, use the original carton for shipping the scale back.
NOTE: Damage caused by improper packaging is not covered by the warranty.
2.3 Setting Up Your Scale
Use the following steps to set up the Rice Lake Dietary Fitness Scale.
1. Remove the scale out of the packaging material that it came in and move it into the area where the
weighing process will occur.
2. To check for scale alignment, put the scale on a flat surface and look at the round spirit level on the base
of the scale. The scale is aligned when the air bubble is immediately in the center of the circle. If the air
bubble is not centered, unscrew and adjust the scale legs until the air bubble is centered. It’s
recommended to place the scale on a hard, level surface for the most accurate weighments. Thin
carpeting is fine but not recommended.
AC Power Connections
The Rice Lake Dietary Fitness Scale has a 120 VAC adaptor or 230 VAC adaptor to use when power is readily
available. The AC power adaptor plugs into the back of the indicator as shown in Figure 2-1.

Dietary/Fitness Technical and Operating Instructions - Scale Assembly 3
The Rice Lake Dietary Fitness Scale is capable of running its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no
additional power source is available. Battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the LO Bat indicator is showing on
the display, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate
weighing.
Battery Charging
When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode.
NOTE: To maintain battery longevity we recommend you charge it on a regular basis rather than waiting until it is fully
discharged.
The LED indicator light on the back of the scale housing will illuminate red during the charging period, and
change over to green when the battery becomes fully charged.
Load Cell Connections
To gain access to the load cell connection point, remove the four back retaining screws and back cover as shown
in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-2 illustrates where the load cell connection point is.

3.0 Scale Operation
The display has various front panel keys. They are shown below.
Figure 3-1. Front Panel Display Keys
Table 3-1. Key Functions
Key Name Function
ON-OFF/ZERO ON-OFF - Switches the scale on or off
ZERO - Clears weight off the scale and returns it back to zero.
BMI/TARE BMI - Enables the user to access the BMI (Body Max Index) function.
TARE - Used to subtract a weight off the scale ie: wheelchair
REWEIGH Allows you to reweigh a patient without having them leave the scale.
Kg-Lb/PRINT Allows the user to toggle between kilograms and pounds.
Press this key to print a weight if connected to a printer.
#AUTION
The keys on the front panel display are very sensitive so only a gentle pushing motion is required to
obtain results.
The scales have the capability of performing different operations beyond just calculating
weight. The various operating instructions are described below.
3.1 Weighing
Use the following steps to weigh a person.
1. Press the On-Off/Zero key to turn on the scale and 0.0 will appear on the display.
2. Ask the person to step onto the scale. The display shows WEIGH, then the person’s weight, and beeps to
indicate the end of the weighing process.
3. To reweigh, press the REWEIGH key.
4. To change the display from Kg to Lb and vice-versa, press the Kg-Lb key.
5. If the display hold feature is on (OP6=1), the weight will remain on the display even after the person
steps off the scale. To clear the weight, press the On-Off/Zero key.
6. To turn off the scale, press and hold the On-Off/Zero key until OFF appears on the display.

Dietary/Fitness Technical and Operating Instructions - Scale Operation 5
3.2 Using the Body Mass Index (BMI) Function
Body mass index (BMI) is the relationship between weight and height associated with body fat and health risk. It
is a reliable indicator of body fatness for people and even though BMI does not measure body fat directly,
research has shown the BMI correlates to direct measures of body fat. BMI is an inexpensive and
easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems for adults.
Calculating BMI is one of the best methods for population assessment of overweight and obesity. Because
calculation requires only height and weight, it is inexpensive and easy to use for clinicians and for the general
public. The calculation is based on the following formulas:
Calculate BMI by dividing weight in pounds (lbs) by height in inches (in) squared and multiplying by a
conversion factor of 703.
Example: weight = 150 lbs, height = 5’5 (65")
Calculation: [150 ÷(65)2] x 703 = 24.96
The standard weight status categories associated with BMI ranges for adults are shown in the following table.
Table 3-2. Standard Weight Status
BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Normal
25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and Above Obese
The following examples show weight ranges, the corresponding BMI ranges and the weight status categories for
a sample height.
Table 3-3. BMI Ranges and Weight Status Example
Height Weight Range BMI Weight Status
5’9” 124 lbs or less Below 18.5 Underweight
125 lbs to 168 lbs 18.5 to 24.9 Normal
169 lbs to 202 lbs 25.0 to 29.9 Overweight
203 lbs or more 30 or higher Obese
Use the following steps in determining the BMI.
1. To use the BMI function, weigh the patient as described under Weighing (above) and then press the BMI
key. If weighing in Lbs, the default height of (5 feet) appears on the display. Use the up or down arrows
to increase the feet height by one foot increments). Press the BMI key again to display inches (default is
7.0 inches) Again, use the up or down arrows to increase or decrease the inches height by 0.5"
increments. Press the BMI key again to accept the inches value. The final height value will be displayed
ie: 5-07.5 = 5’ 7.5".
2. If you are weighing in Kgs, the default will be 170.0 cm. Use the up or down arrows to increase or
decrease by 0.5 cm increments.
3. To see the patient’s calculated BMI, press the BMI key again. The BMI appears.
4. To cancel the BMI display, press the BMI key.

6Dietary/Fitness Technical and Operating Instructions
3.3 Using the Tare Function
You can use the tare function for deducting an extra weight (such as medical equipment attached to the patient)
in a weighing operation.
Use the following steps to use the tare function.
1. With the scale set to 0.0, place the extra load on the scale. The display shows WEIGH and then the weight
of the load.
2. Press and hold the TARE key until TARE appears on the display. The display returns to 0.0 and TARE
appears on the left side of the display.
3. Remove the load from the scale. The weight of the load appears with a negative symbol to the left of it.
4. Ask the patient to step onto the scale with the load. The display then shows the patient’s weight without
the weight of the load.
5. The weight of the load remains stored in memory, so you can continue to weigh patients who are
carrying the same tare weight. For example, when using the same wheelchair for weighing more than
one patient.
6. To cancel the tare weight, press and hold the TARE key until TARE disappears from the display. The tare
weight is also cancelled when the scale is turned off.
Use the following steps to enter a tare without placing that item on the scale. An example of this would be if
you’ve got a patient in a wheelchair and the wheelchair has a known weight (has been tagged) you can enter that
weight manually.
1. With the scale set to 0.0 Lbs (there must be no weight on the scale), press the TARE key. The display will
alternate between a value and the word TARE.
2. To change the value, press and hold the Kg/Lb key until the right most digit is equal to the first digit of the
value you want. Example: If you want 103.5, hold the key until the display is 0.1.
3. To advance to the next digit, press the Kg/Lb key twice quickly. The digit you changed will move left and
the right most digit will again be 0. Again, hold the Kg/Lb key until the right most digit is equal to the
next digit in the numbers you want.
4. Continue as in Step 3 until you are displaying the value you want, then press the TARE key.
5. You can now accurately weigh the patient.
6. To cancel the tare weight, press and hold the TARE key until TARE disappears from the display. The tare
weight is also cancelled when the scale is turned off.

4.4 Reset To Factory Defaults
The configuration parameters may be reset to factory defaults while in the configuration mode. To do so, enter
the configuration mode. Press the REWEIGH key once to advance to displaying the software version (ID <->
11305). Press and hold the BMI key until =DEF= is displayed. At this point, if you wish to perform the default
function, press the REWEIGH key and the scale will show DONE, then it will restart. If you do not want to perform
the default function, press the ON/OFF key.
After performing the default function, the scale will require re-calibration. In addition, the scale will be set
up to a capacity of 600 lbs. The capacity varies by model - refer to the serial label on your scale and
reconfigure the capacity (FULL) and display divisions (rOUnd) as necessary in the configuration menu.
This procedure also resets the Deep Programming Mode settings to factory defaults (see Section 2.1).
4.5 Deep Programming Mode
Before the scale can enter into the deep programming mode, the configuration enable jumper must be removed.
Use the following steps to access that jumper and get into deep programming mode.
1. Access to that jumper is gained by removing the back cover of the indicator. Remove the four back cover
retaining screws as shown on the left side of Figure 6?-?? on page 7. With the cover removed, the jumper
can be seen sticking through the hole in the rear housing (shown in Figure 6?-?? on page 7 - right side).
2. Remove that jumper to gain access to the deep programming modes.
3. Turn unit over and press and hold the REWEIGH key and the On-Off/Zero key simultaneously to turn the
scale on.
4. Continue to hold the REWEIGH key until IDENT appears on the display.
5. With IDENT appearing on the display, press and hold the BMI/Tare key until the HP-x appears on the
display which is the deep programming mode.
6. To change from one parameter to the next, you must press once on the REWEIGH key.
7. To change the value of the parameter, use the Kg-Lb key.
8. From the SAVE phase: press the REWEIGH key to exit and save the modified date. DONE appears for one or
two seconds followed by Start and the display enters into weighing mode and is ready to start the
weighing process.
9. Replace the programming/calibration jumper.
10. Replace the back cover of the indicator and secure with screws.
11. Various parameters can now be set up while in programming mode.
NOTE: A display of Con En indicates that the jumper is not in place. Put jumper on both pins to return the scale to
normal weigh mode.
