1.0 Introduction
The RS-130 retail scale offers practical solutions for a
full range of point-of-sale weighing and price
computing applications. Its compact design makes it
easy to transport and the customer display on the rear
of the RS-130 offers extra convenience.
Standard features of the RS-130 include:
• NTEP-certified Legal-for-Trade
• Measurement Canada approved
• Customer display on rear of unit
• Operates on 110 VAC or 6V internal battery
• Configurable for lb, kg or oz (oz not available
in Canada)
• Calculates customer change
1.1 Start-up Self Check
the RS-130 must charge for 24 hours prior to
operation. When you turn on the scale with the ON/
OFF switch, which is located on the bottom of the
scale, the main program provides the following
display check. The display turns on and shows the
total capacity in the WEIGHT display. Counts from
one to nine in each display window, displays the total
capacity in the WEIGHT display again, and displays
0.00 for operation.
1.2 Power Supply
The RS-130 can use power supplied by either a plug-in
110VAC or the internal sealed, lead-acid rechargeable
battery with a life expectancy of five years under
normal use.
• AC - 110V/60Hz ±10% (battery recharging
only)
• DC - 6V / 25mA; P=0.2W (max) 4Ah
1.3 Battery Recharging
The battery has 100+ hours of use before it needs
recharging. When the battery is low, the TOTAL $
display shows -LO- and there is a continuous beep.
Press the CLEAR key to remove -LO- and end the beep.
After the initial warning of low battery, the scale has
approximately two to three hours of battery life left.
Every 30 minutes a beep sounds and TOTAL $ display
shows -LO-. If the battery is not charged, the TOTAL $
display shows -OFF- and the scale beeps continuously.
Turn the scale off and recharge the battery. Allow
eight to ten hours to fully charge. Table 1-1 describes
the meaning of the Charge LED colors.
