WARNING

1.3 Safety

Safety Signal Definitions:

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided could result in serious injury or death. Includes hazards that are exposed when guards are removed.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

Indicates information about procedures that, if not observed, could result in damage to equipment or corruption to and loss of data.

General Safety

Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and all instructions are understood. Failure to follow the instructions or heed the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals.

Failure to heed could result in serious injury or death. Subjects with disabilities or who are physically frail, should always be assisted on and off the scale. Do not use the scale on slippery surfaces, such as a wet floor. Do not use this scale when body/feet are wet, such as after taking a bath. Do not transport the scale while someone is standing on it. To avoid cross contamination, the scale should be cleaned regularly. Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this scale. Do not jump on the scale. Do not use in the presence of flammable materials. Use the scale only to determine weight of people while standing. Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks. For accurate weighing, the scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface. Thin carpeting is fine but not recommended. Weight exceeding the maximum capacity (550 lb/250 kg) may damage scale. Operating at voltages and frequencies other than specified could damage the equipment. If the LO Bat indicator activates, replace the batteries or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible. Do not use in a wet or humid environment. Do not make alterations or modifications to the scale.

Note

4.0 Communications

The indicator comes with an RS-232 port which enables weight data to be transmitted to other equipment, such as a computer or printer. The RS-232 cable with DB-9 connector (PN 100719) is available from Rice Lake Weighing Systems.

page 12 shows where the RS-232 connection is located on the indicator.

Always use medical grade isolators for USB and RJ45 when connected to non-medical equipment, or when other medical equipment is connected to patient during procedure.

The RS-232 parameters are 9600 baud (selectable in the programming mode), 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no handshaking.

There are three methods of communication:

• Pushbutton keypad print

• Escape protocol

• Maintenance protocol

4.1 Pushbutton Keypad Print

With a stable, in-range weight, press and hold for at least three seconds, or until the scale emi t s two quick beeps.

If the scale does not beep after five seconds, release the button as the weight was either in motion, or out of range.

Figure 4-3 on

In the weigh mode, the scale sends the 21 character string: xxxxxxxxx<SP>uu<SP>mmmmm<SP><CR><LF> Where:

xxxxxxxxx is the weight with decimal point and " - " sign, if negative uu is the unit (lb or kg) mmmmm is the mode (gross or net)

Example:

-10 Lb net = <SP><SP><SP><SP>-10.0<SP>lb<SP><SP>Net<SP><SP><SP><CR><LF>

10 Lb gross = <SP><SP><SP><SP><SP>10.0<SP>lb<SP>Gross<SP><CR><LF>

In BMI mode (displaying the BMI value), the scale sends the following data:

GROSS WEIGHT 215.0 LB TARE WEIGHT 0.0 LB NET WEIGHT 215.0 LB PATIENT HEIGHT 5-01.0 FT PATIENT BMI 30.1

4.2 Escape Protocol

The escape protocol uses the escape (0X1B or ASCII 27) to indicate that a command is following. On the PC side there must be a software listener created by the vendor that will interpret this protocol. This listener must also take care of all the issues regarding data integrity, etc. to ensure the data sent and received i s valid.

Two examples include:

• Scale initiated communication

• PC initiated communication

Patient weight (example: W02000 = 200.0). The scale returns the value 999.99 if the scale is overloaded or under loaded.

The response of the diagnostics done on the scale. Values can include error codes to indicate a problem with the scale; or, all zeros (Z000) to indicate proper functioning of the scale.

The scale can be connected to a PC using a USB connection and a USB cable.

Always use medical grade isolators for USB and RJ45 when connected to non-medical equipment, or

when other medical equipment is connected to patient during procedure..

Connecting software and downloads should be addressed by an IT professional, and can vary depending on th e computer platform used. Basic information on USB driver installation using Windows

as an example. A USB driver can be downloaded from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website at:

4.5 Optional Bluetooth

Many of the Rice Lake Medical Scales now have Bluetooth capability. Use the following instructions for the Bluetooth setup on these scales. Bluetooth technology is a wireless technology for connecting health and fitness devices because it’s simple, secure and everywhere. Bluetooth allows the transfer of data from the scale wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as cell phones, tablets, PDA or PCs.

Due to the vast number of Bluetooth devices on the market and the large number of software packages available, there are many ways to pair and connect to the scale.

The steps used to pair the scale will vary, depend ing on the device/sof tware be ing used. The sca le is set up to be di scovera ble at all times.

6.0 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

IMPORTANT

6.1 Maintenance

The following section provides instructions for maintaining and cleaning the Rice Lake line of scales.

Do not immerse the scale in cleaning or other liquid solutions. Do not use Isopropyl alcohol or other solutions to clean the indicator display surface.

6.1.1 Basic Maintenance

Before using the scale and after periods of non-use, check the scale for proper operation and function. If the scale does not operate correctly, contact a qualified service personnel.

Basic maintenance includes:

• Check the overall appearance of the entire scale for any obvious signs of da mage.

• Inspect the condition of the AC adapter cord for cracking, fraying or broken/bent prongs.

• Using an adapter that has been used elsewhere may cause issues with the scale.

• Change batteries on a regular interval. Leaving in for long periods of time can cause batteries to leak.

6.1.2 Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning is essential to ensure a long life of accurate and effective operation. Before beginning the cleaning process, disconnect the scale from the AC power source.

• Clean all external surfaces with a clean, damp cloth or tissue.

• Mild soap and water solution may be used.

• Standing platform may be cleaned with Isopropyl alcohol

• Dry with a clean soft cloth.

6.2 Troubleshooting

Refer to Table 6-1 to diagnose and correct failures prior contacting service personnel for assistance.
