About This Manual
This manual is intended for use by service technicians
responsible for installing and servicing the IB Series
electronic tuning fork scale.
Configuration and calibration of the scale can be
accomplished using the IB Series front panel keys.
1.0 Introduction
The IB Series is an advanced precision weighing
instrument utilizing a high-precision electronic tuning
fork sensor which provides stable measurement over
years of usage. It provides ultra-fast response time and
greatly improved resistance to external vibrations.
Features include:
•Measures weight in thirteen units (mg, g, kg,
ct, oz, lb, ozt, dwt, gr, HK tael, SIN tael, TW
tael and mommes)
•Switchable for straightweighing, piece count,
or over/under checkweighing mode
•Built-in automatic zero tracking
•Die-cast aluminum housing, making it
resistant to chemicals and electromagnetic
interference
•Counting mode, checkweighing mode,
calculation factor mode, and percentage mode
capabilities
• Large .5 " (12.5mm) liquid crystal display
(LCD)
•Optional glass breeze shield available for all
round pan models
•Available in 115 VAC adapter. 230 VAC
adapter (optional)
1.1 Operating Modes
The IB Series has four weighing modes:
Normal (weighing) mode
Normal mode is the “production” mode of the
scale. The IB Series displays gross or net weights
as required, using the LCD annunciators
described in Table 1-1 on page 4 to indicate scale
status and the type of weight value displayed.
A checkweighing function can be used with the
normal weighing mode. It is convenient for
classifying weighing items according to whether
they fall within a pre-determined weight range.
The limit setting procedure is described in Section
4.1 on page 7.
Authorized distributors and their employees
can view or download this manual from the
Rice Lake Weighing Systems distributor site
at
www.rlws.com
Counting mode
The IB Series is capable of parts counting.
Sampling is done by placing the sample on the
scale and designating the number of pieces in the
sample. Four preset sample quanitities are
available.
Entering the counting mode is done through the
front panel keypad, and is explained in detail in
Section 4.0 on page 8.
Calculation Factor mode
In calculation factor mode, the desired index is
memorized, the index for the weight of the item
placed on the scale is calculated and the
calculated value is displayed. This is a convenient
function that allows conversion into various units,
and is explained in detail in Section 5.0 on
page 11.
Percentage mode
In percentage mode, the weight of the sample
selected as the reference is memorized as 100%.
The ratio between the item being measured and
the reference is displayed as a percentage. The
percentage mode is explained in detail in
Section 6.0 on page 13.
.
1.2 Unpacking and Inspection
Each component of the IB Series system is packed in a
specially designed carton. Remove each component
from its carton, separate the component from its
polystyrene shell assembly, and set the assembly
aside. Inspect the carton interior and inner panels to be
sure that all accessories have been removed. Items
included in this carton include:
• IB Series precision balance scale
•Weighing pan and pan base
•AC adaptor
•Operation manual
•Dust cover
Be sure to replace all packing materials within the
carton set. Store the carton set in a secure area so it is
available whenever shipment of the scale is required.

Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of
the instrument should be conducted. Keep the scale in
an upright position. The shipper and Rice Lake
Weighing Systems should be notified immediately if
any damage occurred during transportation.
Instructions for assessment of damage and further
procedures will then be determined.
1.3 Unlocking
Locate a black rubber cap at the top of the scale.
Remove the cap to find a lock lever in it. Turn the
lever to the center of the scale to unlock.
Note: Before relocation or transportation, turn the lever to
the edge of the scale for locking mechanism.

The IB Series is a precision instrument and requires
careful handling. Certain precautions must be taken to
ensure weighing accuracy.
•Weighing accuracy may be affected by
installation or extended usage. To ensure
accurate measurement, perform calibration
(as described in Section 2.0).
•Always remove objects from the weigh pan
gently. Shock, especially applied to the sides
of the scale, may result in loss of accuracy.
• If the capacity of the scale is exceeded, an
error message is displayed. Do not
[o-Err]
leave an over-capacity load on the pan.
1.6 Weighing Pan Attachment
Use the following steps to properly attach the IB
Series weigh pan.
1. Attach the pan base onto the center of the
main base.
2. Fix the position of the pan base by tightening
the attachment screw (as shown in Fig 1-1)
using a screwdriver or coin.

1.4 Repacking
If the IB Series counting scale must be returned for
modification or repair, be sure that it is properly
packed with the original packing material and original
carton assembly if possible. Any damage caused by
improper packaging will not be covered by the
warranty.
1.5 Site Location and Precautions
Try to select a good, clean environment for installing
the scale. The following environmental factors may
cause the scale to give inaccurate measurements:
• Installation on a weak surface that may flex
when objects are put on it or put on the scale.
•Greatly varying temperature and humidity.
•Vibration or an unstable surface for
installation of the scale.
•Air flow from heaters or air conditioning
units.
•Corrosive gases or large amounts of dust.
•Direct, intense sunlight.

1.7 Leveling the Scale
The scale must be level for proper operation. Use the four level adjusters located at the four corners of the scales

4.0 Count Weighing
Count weighing is used to determine piece count rather than weight. In order for the scale to perform this
function it must know the average piece weight. By loading a specified number of pieces on the pan and entering
that count, the scale calculates and stores in memory the piece weight for that product. This process is referred to
as “sampling. ” F or e xample, ten pieces are placed on the scale. When “10” is entered, the unit piece weight is set.
Sampling
Average Unit Weight = Piece Weight
Total Wt. 10 g
Piece Count 10
Next, the product to be weighed is placed on the scale. The scale calculates the piece count by dividing the total
weight by the piece weight.
= Piece Weight = 1g

4.2 Self Counting System
Self Counting System (SCS) allows the user to start with any sample quantity selected. The concept of SCS
keeps the user within built-in parameters. If the user adds more than three times the pieces previously on the
scale, a message will display indicating pieces must be removed to get back within the built-in parameters. If the
user stays within the parameters, the count display continues to flash, advising that SCS is active.

8.0 Comparator Function
The comparator function is convenient for classifying weighing items according to pre-determined weight
ranges. The upper and lower limits of this range are stored in the scale’s memory, and when an item is placed on
the weighing pan it is judged as either acceptable or unacceptable. This function can only be used in weighing
mode.
8.1 Upper and Lower Limit Setting Procedure
To set the upper and lower limits, follow this procedure while referring to Section 8.3 on page 24.
1. Hold down the

8.3 Upper/Lower Limit Input
There are two methods of entering upper and lower limit values. Both methods can be used interchangeably.

2. Numeric input procedure: the
limits into the scale’s memory.
The judgement results are shown by the position of the lit
H (high) Measured weight is over the upper limit ...... upper limit weight
C (good) Measured weight is within acceptable range....... upper limit weight lower limit
L (low) Measured weight is under the lower limit ....... lower limit weight
F and P keys are used with numeric key entry to record upper and lower
["] indicator next to OVER/ACCEPT or UNDER.
Note: In the case where lower limit upper limit, the flashing ["] appears next to all OVER/ACCEPT/UNDER indicators
to alert operator to error data.
8.3.1 Actual Weight Input
