3.0 Scale Operation
The Rice Lake Digital Floor Level Scale display has various front panel keys as shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1. Rice Lake Digital Floor Level Scale Front Panel Display Keys
Key Descriptions
Table 3-1 describes each of the key functions.
Key Name Function
On/Off Switches the scale on or off.
Print
LB/KG
Print — A long key press will send data out from the RS-232 port.
LB/KG — A short key press allows the user to toggle between kilograms and pounds provid-
ing that it’s enabled in configuration mode.
There is no toggling while in the BMI mode.
Zero Clears the weight off the scale and returns it to zero after three seconds.
It works only if the current weight is stable and zero up to 2% of full weight.
Hold
Release
Hold & Release — The first press holds the most current weight value shown on the display.
A second press releases the weight value shown.
This key is not active while in BMI mode.
BMI Enables the user to access the BMI (Body Mass Index) function. This key only works if there
is a locked weight shown on the display and the BMI function is turned on in the configura-
tion mode.
TARE Used to subtract the weight off the scale, example: oxygen tank, other equipment.
CLEAR Allows the user to return to normal weighing when the BMI value is being displayed.
While in BMI mode, the height display causes the value to return to the default of 190.0 cm,
5 ft, 7.5 in.
ENTER Used to accept height in BMI mode.
Accepts the value of the parameter last entered and moves to the next stage.
A long press of the ENTER key during the scale’s start up process will enter the ID display

The keys on the front panel display are very sensitive so only a gentle pushing motion is required.
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 key to turn on the scale and 0.0 will appear on the display along with ZERO on the upper display.
2. When the person step on the scale the display shows the person’s weight. The LOCK annunciator is on in the upper
display and beeps to indicate the end of the weighing process.
3. To change the display from kg to lb and vice-versa, press the LB/KG key.
4. To turn off the scale, press and hold the On/Off key until OFF appears on the display.
3.2 Hold/Release Function
Use the following steps to use the Hold/Release function.
1. When the person is on the scale, press the Hold/Release key.
2. When the person steps off the scale, the weight and the HOLD & LOCK annunciator will remain on the display.
3. At this stage the Zero key will not work. The only way to return to zero from here is to press the Hold/Release key one
more time.
Pressing the Hold key prior to a person getting on the scale will also work.
3.3 Preset Tare
Use the following steps to use the Preset Tare.
1. When the weight is set to 0.0, place the extra load on the scale. Press the TARE key until the display returns to 0.0 and
NET appears on the display.
2. Remove the extra load from the scale. The weight will appear with a negative symbol to the left of it.
3. Ask the patient to step on the scale with the extra weight. The display shows the patient’s weight. The NET annunciator
is still on. The weight of the extra load remains stored in memory.
4. To cancel the tare weight, press and hold the TARE key until NET disappears from the display and the display turns
back to 0.0 and GROSS appears. Tare weight is also cancelled when the scale is turned off.
Up/Down Arrows Used to adjust height input (0.5 in/0.5 cm) while in BMI mode.
Adjusts the value of the flashing digit/number.
