1.0Introduction
The 120 is a single-channel digital weight indicator housed in a durable plastic enclosure. The indicator front
panel consists of a large (.8 in, 20 mm), six-digit, sev en-segment LED dis play and five -button keyp ad. Features
include:
•Drives up to four 350or eig
•Supports 4- and 6-wire load cell connections
•Electronic data processing (EDP) port for full duplex, RS-232 communications at up to 38400 bps
•Printer port for output-only RS-232 and 20 mA current loop communications at up to 9600 bps
The 12
0 is NTEP-certified for Classes III and III L at 6,000 divisions. See Section 7.8 on page 36 for detailed
specifications.

1.1Operating Modes
The 120 supports the following modes of operation:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the indicator. The indicator displays gross or net weights as
required, using the LED annunciators described in Section 1.3 on page 2 to indicate scale status and the type
of weight value displayed. Once configuration i
indicator, this is the only mode in which the 120 can operate. See Section 1.4.1 on page 3 for more
information about normal mode operations.
Panel mode
Panel mode allows the time, date, consecutive number, and consecutive number start-up value to be set
without entering configuration mode. To enter panel mode, press and hold the GROSS/NET key until the TIME
menu is shown. See Section 1.4.2 on page 4 for more information about panel mode.
Configuration mode
Most of the procedures described in this manual require the indicator to be in configuration mode, including
configuration and calibration.
To enter configuration mode, remove the l
screwdriver or a similar tool into the access hole and press the setup switch once. The indicator display
changes to show the word

1.4.2Panel Mode Operations
Note
The following operations are available by placing the indicator in panel mode:
•Set time
•Set date
•S et consecutive number
•Set consecutive number start-up value
To enter panel mode, press and hold the
GROSS/NET key until the TIME menu is displayed. Use the navigation
keys to move around the menu; to change a value, use the navigation keys to select the digit and increment or
decrement its value. Press the
Enter (TAR E) key to set the value and return to the menu level above. Figure 1-2
shows the structure of the panel mode menu.
To enter a 2 digit month, the lower digit must be a “1” then the upper digit is incremented to “1”. The lower
digit can then be changed to 0, 1 or 2 as required.

2.1Unpacking and Assembly
Immediately after unpacking, visually inspect the 120 to ensure all components are included and undamaged.
The shipping carton should contain the indicator with attached tilt stand, this manual, and a parts kit. If any parts
were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
The parts kit contains the items listed below:
•Capacity and identification labels
•Load cell connector (PN 82505)
•9V power supply adapter (PN 78611 for 115 VAC units, PN 78612 for 230 VAC units)
2.2Enclosure and Connectors
The back of the 120 enclosure provides a 3-pin power connection, 9-pin D-sub connector for communicatio ns,
and an available 6-pin connector or load cell cord grip connector for load cell connection (see Figure 2-1).

The EDP command set can be used to configure the 120 indicator using a personal computer, terminal, or remote
keyboard. Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike
Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any external device capable of sending ASCII characters over a
serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available usin
g the indicator front panel and provide some functions not
otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the indicator,
or to dump lists of parameter settings. See Section 5.0 on page 23 for more information about using the EDP
command set.
3.1.3Front Panel Configuration
The 120 indicator can be configured using a series of menus accessed through the indicator front panel when the

Graduations. Specifies the number of full scale graduations. The value entered must be in
the range 1–100 000 and should be consistent with legal requirements and environmental
limits on system resolution.
To calculate GRADS, use the formula, GRADS = Capacity / Display Divisions.
Display divisions for primary and secondary units are specified on the FORMAT menu.
Zero track band. Automatically zeroes the scale when within the range specified, as long
as the input is within the configured zero range (ZRANGE parameter). Selections are ±
display divisions. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Zero range. Selects the range within which the scale can be zeroed. The 1.9% selection is
± 1.9% around the calibrated zero point, for a total range of 3.8%. Indicator must be at
standstill to zero the scale. Use 1.9% for legal-for-trade applications.
Motion band. Sets the level, in display divisions, at which scale motion is detected. If
motion is not detected for 1 second or more, the standstill symbol lights. Some
operations, including print, tare, and zero, require the scale to be at standstill. Maximum
legal value varies depending on local regulations.
If OFF is selected, ZTRKBN should also be set to OFF.
Overload. Determines the point at which the display blanks and an out-of-range error
message is displayed. Maximum legal value varies depending on local regulations.
Sample rate. Selects measurement rate, in samples per second, of the analog-to-digital
converter. Lower sample rate values provide greater signal noise immunity.
Digital filtering. Selects the digital filtering rate used to reduce the effects of mechanical
vibration from the immediate area of the scale.
Choices indicate the number of A/D conversions that are averaged to obtain the
displayed reading. A higher number gives a more accurate display by minimizing the
effect of a few noisy readings, but slows down the settling rate of the indicator. See
Section 7.6 on page 34 for more information on digital filtering.
Digital filter cutout sensitivity. Specifies the number of consecutive readings that must fall
outside the filter threshold (DFTHRH parameter) before digital filtering is suspended. If
NONE is selected, the filter is always enabled.
