1.0 Introduction

DANGER

WARNING

CAUTION

Important

The DeckHand™ Portable Floor Scales are fully electronic, NTEP-certified floor scales allowing one-person
portability on large rubber wheels. Available in painted steel or stainless steel construction, these rugged scales
come in 500 lb, 1000 lb, and 2000 lb capacity.

The heavy diamond-tread platform is 30-1/2 in x 24-1/4 in (0.77 m x 0.62 m) with an overall base height of only
4 1/2 in (0.11 m). The addition of an optional low-angle ramp allows one person to easily roll on a barrel or wheel
on a hand truck. The free-floating ramp pivots back over the deck and rests on the mast for compact storage or
balanced portability.

Figure 1-1. Optional Pivoting Ramp and Indicator

An efficient off-center arrangement of two high-capacity, single-point load cells yields Legal for Trade accuracy.
Electronic components are double-protected from rough use. A RoughDeck™ stainless steel NEMA 4X junction
box is further protected by mounting within the mast. The optional indicator mounts on a swivel bracket high
enough on the 59 in (1.50 m) mast to clear the tallest loads.

In addition to ramps, available options include stainless steel load cell guards (clamshell) and indicator brackets for
any Rice Lake IQ series indicator. Other indicators can be readily mast-mounted with slight modifications.

Authorized distributors and their employees can view or download this manual from the Rice Lake
Weighing Systems distributor site at www.rlws.com.

Before opening the unit, ensure the power cord is disconnected from the outlet.
Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts.

1.2 Operating Requirements

Electrical Grounding

Rolling or wheeling loads onto the scale can build up large static charges that may damage the attached indicator
unless it is properly grounded to prevent ESD. This is especially true in dry environments where charges drain off
slowly, or if wheeling on materials which already contain a static charge, like rolls of paper or plastic film material
that have been recently spooled.

To prevent ESD damage, the indicator requires a three-prong 120 VAC outlet plug with continuous earth
ground. Do not attempt to use the scale with two-prong 120 VAC power without a ground.

Load Cell Excitation

Rated Excitation: 10 VDC

Maximum Excitation: 15 VDC

mV/V Signal Output: 2 mV/V

Grade Level Requirements

The bubble level built into the platform should indicate a level condition in use. On uneven floors, place temporary
shims under feet not contacting the floor.

Safe Static Overloading Capacity

Maximum: 150% of scale capacity

2.0 Installation

Shoulder Bolts,
Pivot Washers

Overview

Assembly of the scale consists of the following steps:

1. Unpacking

2. Assembling mast onto scale base

3. Installing optional pivoting ramp

4. Mounting and wiring the indicator

5. Configuring the indicator

6. Calibrating the unit with test weights

2.1 Unpacking

The standard scale, with no added options, is shipped with load cells and indicator cable pre-wired into the junction
box on the mast. The indicator can be mounted and wired after the mast is in place.

Remove all packing material and inspect base and mast components for visible damage caused during shipment.

2.2 Installing Optional Pivoting Ramp

If the optional ramp is to be installed, set it flat on the floor in position in front of the scale so the holes in the base
align with the holes in the ramp pivot arms.

Insert a shoulder bolt with a single washer through an arm pivot hole. Slide three plastic pivot washers onto the bolt
for clearance between the arm and the base. See Figure 3-5. After the bolt engages the threads in the base, tighten
the shoulder bolt snugly. Repeat for the other side.

Assembling Mast to Base

Remove back plate from mast. Carefully insert mast into window in base. Align holes and secure with fasteners
(refer to Figure 4-1). Wrap excess cable around hooks in mast. Re-assemble back plate to mast.

Attaching Indicator Bracket to Mast

The DeckHand is supplied with a swivel bracket for a variety of RLWS indicators. If using a different bracket, bolt
it onto the mounting plate on the mast with the bolts, washers, and nuts provided.

Set the two large plastic washers provided near the thumbscrew bolts used to hold the indicator in the bracket. Put
the bolts and washers within close reach of the bracket—you’ll need them for the next step.

Mounting the Indicator

Spread the bracket arms enough to slide the indicator between the bracket arms. Line up the bracket holes with the
threaded enclosure holes. Slide a plastic pivot washer between each arm and the indicator enclosure at the holes.

Insert the thumbscrew bolts through the bracket arms, through the washers, and into the threaded holes of the
indicator enclosure. Tighten bolts snugly so the indicator remains at the desired viewing angle.

Wiring Load Cell Cable to Indicator

The load cell cable from the J-box is pre-wired to the indicator terminal inside the j-box. Attach the loose end of
this cable to the indicator’s load cell input terminal according to the corresponding pin functions on the j-box
indicator terminal. When completed, tighten the cord grip around the cable where it passes through the indicator
case.

2.4 Corner Trimming

The DeckHand scales are factory-trimmed so each load cell shares an equal part of the weight load.

Further corner-trimming is unnecessary unless a load cell is replaced. See Section 3.0 for complete information on
corner-trimming after load cell replacement.

2.5 Configuring the Indicator

Refer to the indicator manual for information on configuring the indicator for your application.

If using the DeckHand for a Legal for Trade application, do not configure the indicator for more divisions than the
NTEP Class III maximums below:

500 lb capacity 2500 divisions

1000/2000 lb capacity 2000 divisions

The following sample configuration parameters will yield those maximum divisions:

Scale Capacity 500 lb 1000 lb 2000 lb

Grads 25,000 20,000 20,000

Decimal Point 0.00 0.00 0.0

Display Divisions 2 5 1

Units lbs lbs lbs

Table 2-2. Sample Configuration

2.6 Calibrating with Test Weights

Refer to the indicator operating manual to determine correct calibration procedure.

Before beginning calibration, put the scale in the same temperature environment where it will be used. Power up
the indicator so it can warm up for at least 20 minutes before starting calibration.

The scale should be “exercised” before calibration to be certain that everything is seated. Load the scale to near
capacity two or three times.

The following test weights are recommended for the most accurate calibration of the various models:

Scale Capacity 500 lb 1000 lb 2000 lb

Test Weights (75%) 375 lb 750 lb 1500 lb

Table 2-3. Sample Configuration

With scale base level and no load on the scale, place the indicator in calibration mode and do a zero calibration
according to the indicator manual.

Place test weights on the platform equal to the value shown in Table 3 (75% of the scale’s capacity). Do a span
calibration according to the indicator manual.

Remove the test weights and check the zero reading. Repeat the calibration process if necessary.

The calibrated DeckHand scale is now ready for operation.

Table 3-1. Troubleshooting

3.2 Periodic Maintenance

Two important spaces—between the platform side and frame, and beneath the platform—should be periodically
cleaned to prevent debris build up.

The platform can be removed for periodic cleaning by unscrewing the lock nuts from the four welded studs on the
underside of the platform. The platform can then be lifted off the load cell channels for cleaning.

When cleaning beneath the platform, be careful not to move the load cell cables to a new position where they can
be pinched by the platform in operation.

Do not attempt to spray wash scales with non-hermetically sealed load cells. Water damage is a
common cause of failure in non-hermetically sealed load cells.

Use care with hot water wash downs for hermetically-sealed load cells. The hot water may not damage the load
cells, but the elevated temperatures can cause incorrect readings until the unit cools to room temperature.

When replacing the platform, tighten the four locknuts on the welded studs only until the flat washers beneath them
contact the channel surface. Do not tighten the nuts further and compress the cushion pads between platform and
channels. The platform must be free-floating on resilient pads for continued accuracy.

6 DeckHand Installation Manual

3.3 Load Cell Replacement

Disassembly

1. Remove the four locknuts and washers that secure the platform to load cell channels. Lift off the platform.
Remove the column back plate to gain access to the j-box.

2. Determine which load cell is defective. Use a hardened hex-drive bit and large ratchet wrench to remove
the four hex-drive countersunk machine screws holding the channel to the defective load cell underneath.
Lift off the channel and the spacer on top of the load cell. Note how the load cell cable is routed on its cable
hold downs.

3. Cut the plastic tie at each hold-down to free the cable. Remove the load cell wires from the load cell
terminal in the J-box. Loosen the cord grip and pull the cable out of the J-box. Unwind the excess cable
from the cable-storage studs and pull it out of the mast cavity.

4. Turn the scale on its side to remove the lower load cell screws. With the hex-drive bit and ratchet wrench,
remove the four cap screws and lock washers that hold the cell to the mounting plate. Lift off the cell and
spacer plate beneath.

Reassembly

Tilt and block the scale base enough that you have comfortable access to the load cell screws from underneath the
base. Position the new load cell with the cable to the inside and the label readable from the outside. Be sure the load
cell body is not contacting the overload stop screw. Back the screw off if necessary (it was secured with Loctite at
the factory and will turn hard).

1. Set the spacer block and load cell into position. Insert the four load cell screws from the bottom finger-tight
only; final adjustments in load cell position are necessary before the screws are torqued down.

2. Run the new load cell cable to the J-box using exactly the path dictated by the cable existing ties. The
existing cable hold downs keep the cables under the middle of each load cell channel, where they are
protected from accidental crimping between the flexing channels and the frame. When new cable ties are
attached, feed the cable through the cutout in the frame and into the mast cavity. Do not shorten the load
cell cable; it is temperature-compensated for the supplied cable length. Wind the excess cable around the
cable-storage studs, leaving enough free to wire into the junction box.

3. With the load cell still loose enough for final adjustment, set the top spacer block and load cell channel on
the cell and insert the self-centering countersunk load cell screws. Tighten these screws alternately with a
hex-drive bit and ratchet wrench to a final torque of 20 ft-lb for mild steel models and 12 ft-lb for stainless
steel models.

4. Adjust the load cell/channel assembly so it is parallel with the other channel. Measure across the holes in
the front and rear of the channels. Adjust the new cell so that distance is equal, then tighten the load cell
cap screws from underneath to a final torque of 20 ft-lb for mild steel models and 12 ft-lb for stainless steel
models. Check again to be certain the cable will not be pinched by the flexing channel in operation.

5. Finally, put a drop of Loctite on the overload stop screw and set it for a 0.020" gap with the load cell.

Wiring Load Cells into J-Box

Feed the load cell cable into the j-box cord grip closest to its terminal. When facing the scale, the left load cell is
wired to terminal 4 of the j-box, and the right load cell is wired to terminal 1.

Note that the wire traces for cells 2 and 3 (JU-2, JU-3 ) have been cut, making those unused channels inactive.

Connect wires according to Table 2-1 on page 4. Pull excess cable out of the J-box and tighten the cable cord grip
snugly. The rubber seal will protrude slightly from the cord grip when tightened enough to be waterproof.

Replacing Deck Platform

Put the scale flat on the floor and set the platform on the channels so the welded studs drop into the channel holes.
Tilt and block the scale up again and install a flat washer and locknut on each stud. Turn the lock nut onto each stud
until the washer just contacts the channel underside. Do not tighten the lock nuts so the cushioning pads are
compressed. The platform must be free floating for accuracy; the lock nuts merely serve as lift off protection.

All DeckHand scales are delivered with the junction box trimmed, but re-trimming to equalize loading is necessary
after replacing a load cell.

To trim the scale, the output from each load cell must be matched by adjusting the signals with potentiometers at
the junction box—a process known as trimming.

The indicator must be connected and approximately calibrated, but it need not indicate the exact weight value. An
exact calibration will be done after trimming.

A test weight is required for corner trimming. The recommended minimum test weight for all DeckHand models is
25% of scale capacity.

1. Remove the junction box cover and identify the correct load cell terminal corresponding to each side of the
scale (labeled CELL 1, and CELL 4).

Figure 6: Cell 1 and Cell 4 Potentiometers

2. With scale level and no weight on the scale, zero the indicator. Then turn potentiometers for cells 1 and 4
fully clockwise to get the maximum signal from each load cell. A clicking sound can be heard when full
signal is reached.

3. With both potentiometers at full signal, place the test weight over left or right side of platform and record
the indicated weight reading. Repeat the process for the other side. The load cell with the lowest reading
will be used as the reference cell and will not be trimmed.

4. Place the test weight over the side reading high and turn that cell’s potentiometer to adjust the cell output
down to the reference cell output.

5. Rezero the indicator and repeat the test until both sides are within ±0.1% of the test weight being used.
Adjustments are somewhat interactive, so adjusting the higher output may affect the reference cell output.

6. Secure extra cable length by wrapping it around the cable storage pegs inside the mast.

7. When corner trimming is complete, pull any excess cable out of the junction box enclosure and tighten the
strain relief hubs snugly with a wrench. To be watertight, the hubs must be tightened to the point where the
rubber sleeving begins to protrude out of the hub (SST models).

8. Replace the J-box cover and column back plate.

9. Recalibrate per Section 2.6.

Service Information 9

3.4 Installing Protective Clamshells

Overload Screw, 0.020” gap Bottom Spacer Block

Top Spacer Block

Stainless steel clamshells—load cell protectors—are mounted around the load cells to provide an extra degree of
spray protection. The lower protector is slightly smaller than the upper one which overlaps on all sides. The load
cell cable exits through the bottom surface of the lower clamshell then through a hole in the mounting plate.

Figure 3-2 Clamshell Load Cell Protectors

1. To attach clamshells, remove all channels, load cell screws and load cells. Place lower clamshell directly
on mounting plate with overload stop screw centered in the clamshell’s largest hole.

2. Add mounting spacer and align all four holes. Position load cell on spacer and insert load cell screws and
lock washers from beneath mounting plate through clamshell and spacer and into load cell. Tighten the
four screws finger tight only so the cell can still be moved slightly for final positioning.

3. For final positioning, measure to be sure load cells are parallel to each other and to the frame. It may be
easier to mount one load cell first so it is parallel to the frame, then measure equal distances between the
ends of the two load cells to get them parallel with each other. When correctly positioned, retighten the
load cell screws to original torque specifications (20 ft-lb for mild steel screws, 12 ft-lb for stainless steel
screws).

4. Position top spacer blocks on load cells, then set upper clamshells on spacer blocks and align holes. Place
load cell channels so all four holes line up, then turn in the self-centering countersunk screws. Tighten to
same torque settings as lower load cell screws.

5. Replace scale deck onto load cell channels.

6. Reset overload stop screws by turning them in until they just contact the load cell, then back off 0.020".

7. Calibrate scale according to Section 2.6.

3.5 Mounting Indicator Brackets

A universal mount plate is welded to the DeckHand mast. The plate is predrilled to match the bracket of most
indicators and are supplied with the appropriate painted or stainless steel mounting hardware.

DeckHand Limited Warranty

Rice Lake Weighing Systems (RLWS) warrants that all RLWS equipment and systems properly installed by a
Distributor or Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) will operate per written specifications as confirmed by the
Distributor/OEM and accepted by RLWS. All systems and components are warranted against defects in materials
and workmanship for one year.

RLWS warrants that the equipment sold hereunder will conform to the current written specifications authorized by
RLWS. RLWS warrants the equipment against faulty workmanship and defective materials. If any equipment fails
to conform to these warranties, RLWS will, at its option, repair or replace such goods returned within the warranty
period subject to the following conditions:

• Upon discovery by Buyer of such nonconformity, RLWS will be given prompt written notice with a
detailed explanation of the alleged deficiencies.

• Individual electronic components returned to RLWS for warranty purposes must be packaged to prevent
electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage in shipment. Packaging requirements are listed in a publication,
Protecting Your Components From Static Damage in Shipment, available from RLWS Equipment Return
Department.

• Examination of such equipment by RLWS confirms that the nonconformity actually exists, and was not
caused by accident, misuse, neglect, alteration, improper installation, improper repair or improper testing;
RLWS shall be the sole judge of all alleged non-conformities.

• Such equipment has not been modified, altered, or changed by any person other than RLWS or its duly
authorized repair agents.

• RLWS will have a reasonable time to repair or replace the defective equipment. Buyer is responsible for
shipping charges both ways.

• In no event will RLWS be responsible for travel time or on-location repairs, including assembly or
disassembly of equipment, nor will RLWS be liable for the cost of any repairs made by others.

THESE WARRANTIES EXCLUDE ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NEITHER RLWS NOR DISTRIBUTOR WILL, IN ANY EVENT, BE LIABLE
FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.

RLWS AND BUYER AGREE THAT RLWS’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE LIABILITY HEREUNDER IS
LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF SUCH GOODS. IN ACCEPTING THIS WARRANTY,
THE BUYER WAIVES ANY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO WARRANTY.

SHOULD THE SELLER BE OTHER THAN RLWS, THE BUYER AGREES TO LOOK ONLY TO THE
SELLER FOR WARRANTY CLAIMS.

NO TERMS, CONDITIONS, UNDERSTANDING, OR AGREEMENTS PURPORTING TO MODIFY
THE TERMS OF THIS WARRANTY SHALL HAVE ANY LEGAL EFFECT UNLESS MADE IN
WRITING AND SIGNED BY A CORPORATE OFFICER OF RLWS AND THE BUYER.
