•Optional glass breeze shield available for all
round pan models
•Available in 115 VAC adapter. 230 VAC
adapter (optional)
1.1 Operating Modes
The IB Series has four weighing modes:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
scale. The IB Series displays gross or net weights
as required, using the LCD annunciators
described in Table 1-1 on page 4 to indicate scale
status and the type of weight value displayed.
A checkweighing function can be used with the
normal weighing mode. It is convenient for
classifying weighing items according to whether
they fall within a pre-determined weight range.
The limit setting procedure is described in Section
4.1 on page 7.
Counting mode
The IB Series is capable of parts counting.
Sampling is done by placing the sample on the
scale and designating the number of pieces in the
sample. Four preset sample quanitities are
available.
Entering the counting mode is done through the
front panel keypad, and is explained in detail in
Section 4.0 on page 8.
Calculation Factor mode
In calculation factor mode, the desired index is
memorized, the index for the weight of the item
placed on the scale is calculated and the
calculated value is displayed. This is a convenient
function that allows conversion into various units,
and is explained in detail in Section 5.0 on
page 11.
Percentage mode
In percentage mode, the weight of the sample
selected as the reference is memorized as 100%.
The ratio between the item being measured and
the reference is displayed as a percentage. The
percentage mode is explained in detail in
Section 6.0 on page 13.
1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Each component of the IB Series system is packed in a
specially designed carton. Remove each component
from its carton, separate the component from its
polystyrene shell assembly, and set the assembly
aside. Inspect the carton interior and inner panels to be
sure that all accessories have been removed. Items
included in this carton include:
• IB Series precision balance scale
•Weighing pan and pan base
•AC adaptor
•Operation manual
•Dust cover
Be sure to replace all packing materials within the
carton set. Store the carton set in a secure area so it is
available whenever shipment of the scale is required.

2 IB Series Operation Manual
Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of
the instrument should be conducted. Keep the scale in
an upright position. The shipper and Rice Lake
Weighing Systems should be notified immediately if
any damage occurred during transportation.
Instructions for assessment of damage and further
procedures will then be determined.
1.3 Unlocking
Locate a black rubber cap at the top of the scale.
Remove the cap to find a lock lever in it. Turn the
lever to the center of the scale to unlock.
Note: Before relocation or transportation, turn the lever to
the edge of the scale for locking mechanism.
Figure 1-1. Unlocking Scale
1.4 Repacking
If the IB Series counting scale must be returned for
modification or repair, be sure that it is properly
packed with the original packing material and original
carton assembly if possible. Any damage caused by
improper packaging will not be covered by the
warranty.
1.5 Site Location and Precautions
Try to select a good, clean environment for installing
the scale. The following environmental factors may
cause the scale to give inaccurate measurements:
•Installation on a weak surface that may flex
when objects are put on it or put on the scale.
•Greatly varying temperature and humidity.
•Vibration or an unstable surface for
installation of the scale.
•Air flow from heaters or air conditioning
units.
•Corrosive gases or large amounts of dust.
•Direct, intense sunlight.
The IB Series is a precision instrument and requires
careful handling. Certain precautions must be taken to
ensure weighing accuracy.
•Weighing accuracy may be affected by
installation or extended usage. To ensure
accurate measurement, perform calibration
(as described in Section 2.0).
•Always remove objects from the weigh pan
gently. Shock, especially applied to the sides
of the scale, may result in loss of accuracy.
•If the capacity of the scale is exceeded, an
[o-Err]
error message is displayed. Do not
leave an over-capacity load on the pan.
1.6 Weighing Pan Attachment
Use the following steps to properly attach the IB
Series weigh pan.
1. Attach the pan base onto the center of the
main base.
2. Fix the position of the pan base by tightening
the attachment screw (as shown in Fig 1-1)
using a screwdriver or coin.

4.0 Count Weighing
Count weighing is used to determine piece count rather than weight. In order for the scale to perform this
function it must know the average piece weight. By loading a specified number of pieces on the pan and entering
that count, the scale calculates and stores in memory the piece weight for that product. This process is referred to
as “sampling.” For example, ten pieces are placed on the scale. When “10” is entered, the unit piece weight is set.
Next, the product to be weighed is placed on the scale. The scale calculates the piece count by dividing the total
weight by the piece weight.
4.1 Count Mode Setting Procedure
1. Hold down the F key for about four seconds. Release
when the [Func] display appears.
2. The first item of the function display appears: mode

4.2 Self Counting System
Self Counting System (SCS) allows the user to start with any sample quantity selected. The concept of SCS
keeps the user within built-in parameters. If the user adds more than three times the pieces previously on the
scale, a message will display indicating pieces must be removed to get back within the built-in parameters. If the
user stays within the parameters, the count display continues to flash, advising that SCS is active.
1. Place the tare vessel on the weighing pan and then
press the Tkey. Also perform this operation if the
display does not indicate zero.
2. Continuously press the Fkey until [U SEt] message
is displayed.

to measurement mode.
4. Place the item to be measured on the weighing pan
(tare vessel) and the ratio to the reference value is
displayed in percent (%).
Note: The percentage resolution will automatically RANGE, depending on the percent of scale capacity used for the
reference weight.
Example: IB 1000
Reference Weight: 487g
In the IB 1000 column from the table above, 487g is more than 50g, but less than 500g. The display resolution
will be in increments of 0.01%.
IB 1000 IB 2000 IB 5000 IB 10K IB 15K % Scale capacity Display resolution

6.2 Setting Numerical Value
1. Press the Fkey until the [P SEt] message is
displayed. The [M] symbol and the setting value
flashes on the display. If the reference value has
been previously set, that value is dislayed.
2. Press the T key until the [0] displays to the right side
and the bar graph underneath flashes. The desired
value can now be set.
3. If the T key is pressed again, the displayed value is
incremented according to the pattern below. Press
the T key repeatedly until the desired value is
displayed.
4. Press the F key to set the value previously set in step
three and shift its display to the left side. Set the
next digit by repeating steps three and four. Repeat
this process until the desired value has been
completely entered.
5. After the reference value has been completely set,
press the P key. A long tone emits, indicating that
the reference value setting has been completed and
the scale returns to calculation factor mode.
Note: The percentage display will automatically set in the range of 1 to 0.001% as with memorization of an actual
reference weight.
