1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

The Ranger 7000 scale is a precision weighing instrument that will provide you with years of service if properly
cared for. The Ohaus Ranger 7000 scales are available in capacities from 3000 grams to 60 kilograms.

1.2 Features

Modular Design: Ohaus Ranger 7000 scales are composed of two interconnected modules: a Terminal and a

Base. Depending on the user’s needs, the unit can be operated with the Terminal either attached to, or remote
from, the Base, with a single interconnect cord 2 meter long. An optional tower kit and extended cord are also
available as accessories.

1.3 Definition of Signal Warnings and Symbols

Safety notes are marked with signal words and warning symbols. These show safety issues and warnings. Ignoring
the safety notes may lead to personal injury, damage to the instrument, malfunctions and false results.

Signal Words
WARNING for a hazardous situation with medium risk, possibly resulting in injuries or death if not

avoided.

CAUTION for a hazardous situation with low risk, resulting in damage to the device or

the property or in loss of data, or injuries if not avoided.

Alternating Current Information

1.4 Safety Precautions

 Verify that the input voltage range printed on the data label and the plug type matches the local AC power

to be used.

 Only connect models supplied with a grounded power cord to a compatible grounded power receptacle.
 Do not position the scale such that it is difficult to disconnect the power cord from the power receptacle.
 Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or tripping hazard.
 This scale is for indoor use only.
 Use the scale in dry locations only.
 Do not drop loads on the pan.
 Use only approved accessories and peripherals.
 Operate the equipment only under ambient conditions specified in these instructions.
 Disconnect the equipment from the power supply when cleaning.
 Do not operate the equipment in hazardous or unstable environments.
 Service should only be performed by authorized personnel.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove your Ranger 7000 scale and each of its components from the package. The included components
vary depending on the scale model (see table below). Save the packaging to ensure safe storage and transport.

EN-6 RANGER

1. Place the Wind Ring in position
(R71MHD3, R71MHD6).

2. Place the platform onto the
spider.

Attention: Allow equipment to warm up for 60 minutes for optimal weighing performance.

Power ON Button

7000 SCALES

2.2 Installing Components

Refer to the illustrations and instructions below to identify and assemble your Ranger 7000 scale with its
components. All components must be assembled before using the scale.

2.2.1 Terminal Setup

When the Ranger 7000 is delivered, the Terminal is already attached (docked) to the Base. No additional setup is
necessary. Refer to the illustrations and instructions below to identify and assemble your Ranger 7000 Scale.

Note: The Terminal is identical for all Ranger 7000 Scale models.

2.2.2 Installing the Wind Ring, Weighing Platform

2.3 Selecting the Location

Avoid excessive vibrations, heat sources, air current, or rapid temperature changes. Allow sufficient space.

Note: Interface cables connect to the terminal. The terminal can be detached and mounted on a wall or
positioned on a table separate from the scale.

2.4 Connecting Power and Turning ON the Scale

The Ranger 7000 comes with an AC power cord. Connect the power cord to a suitable grounded electrical outlet
and press the ON button on the side of the base (see figure below).

2.5 Connecting the Interface

The Ranger 7000 scale has 4 interfaces on the back of the terminal:

- RS422: used to communicate with the base

- RS232: used to connect to computer or a printer

- USB host

- USB slave

Thread terminal cable along cable coils on bottom of scale.

Or pass cable through groove near release button.

2.6 Leveling the scale

Only scales that have been leveled precisely horizontally provide accurate weighing results. The certified scales
have a spirit level to simplify alignment.

Turn the adjustable feet of the scale until the spirit level’s air bubble is inside the inner circle.

2.7 Remote Terminal Operation

The Terminal communicates with the weighing base via the Terminal cable. This cable must be plugged into the
Terminal for the Ranger 7000 to display properly. If desired, the Ranger 7000 scale may be operated either with the
Terminal attached, or remotely (up to 1.5 meters away).

2.8 Separating the Terminal from the Weighing Base

1. To detach, press both the Release buttons inward (both at the same time) and gently pull the Terminal
towards you (outward) until the Terminal is detached. These Release buttons disengage the two hooks
holding the Terminal to the Base. A cable is attached to the Terminal. Take care to not damage or
disconnect this cable.

2. To reattach the Terminal, press in the two Release buttons and slide the Terminal into the Base until the
Terminal hooks click and engage to hold the Terminal in place.

2.9 Terminal Mounting

If desired, the Terminal may be mounted to a wall or table using fasteners (not supplied) that are appropriate for the
type of mounting surface.

2.10 Initial Calibration

When the Scale is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be calibrated to ensure accurate
weighing results.

2.10.1 Internal calibration

R71MHD models have built in AutoCal which can calibrate the scale automatically and does not require calibration
masses. If preferred, the scale can be manually calibrated with external masses. Have the appropriate calibration
masses available before beginning calibration. Refer to the Calibration Section for masses and calibration
procedure.

2.10.2 External calibration

R71MD models can only be manually calibrated with external masses.

4.2.2 Application Setup

The Application can be customized for various user preferences.

The Counting Configurations are defined below (defaults in Bold).

Note: * If APW value is directly entered (not through sampling) or calculated from the reference
balance (displayed as APW(B)), this feature does not work.

4.2.3 Smart Sampling

When connected to reference balance or 2nd platform, smart sampling allow user to perform sampling without
manually switching platforms.

When smart sampling is turned On
Sampling will always be performed from the reference balance (if reference balance is ON).
If reference balance is OFF, sampling will be performed from the main platform.

Press the button corresponding to the icon to perform sampling with the weight on the reference balance
(or main platform if reference balance is OFF). The counting results will be displayed on the current platform.

When smart sampling is turned Off:

Sampling will be performed on the current platform.

Note: Refer to section 5.9.7 on how to connect to reference balance.

4.3.3 Application Setup

The Application can be customized for various user preferences.

The Check Configurations are defined below (defaults in Bold).

Note: * Only available in Check Counting mode.

Positive Check

Positive check is used to determine when the material added to the scale is within the target range. In this case the
UNDER and OVER limits must be positive values. (The OVER limit must be greater than or equal to the UNDER
limit.)

Negative Check

Negative check is used to determine when the material removed from the scale is within the target range. In this
case the UNDER and OVER limits are both negative values.
The UNDER limit must be greater than or equal to the OVER limit (for example: UNDER= -10/OVER= -15).
Place the item to be weighed on the scale and press Tare.
Remove a portion of the item until it is within the ACCEPT range.

Notes:

To terminate the formulation process, press the
button corresponding to the icon. If the added
weight is over the tolerance limit, compensation will be

performed according to the setup in the configuration (At
the end, Off, Immediately).

When the compensation is active (At the end or

the capacity bar is always in green color.

If one component added is outside the tolerance, the scale
will do compensation for next items. In this case, the value
displayed is not actual weight and the capacity bar will turn
red.

To finish the formulation, press the button corresponding to
the icon and add the last component.

Then the formulation will finish and a Formulation Result
screen is displayed.
