1.0 Introduction and System Overview
The Roughdeck BDP is a fully electronic, low profile, NTEP-certified load receiving barrel scale that provides
exceptional performance and serves as an economical solution in general weighing applications.
The BDP comes in two standard platform sizes: 30 in x 31 in (.76 m x .79 m) and 36 in x 37 in (.91 m x .94 m),
and in capacities from 1K- to 2.5K-lbs (500–1250 kg). NTEP-certified, alloy steel shear beam load cells or
stainless steel load cells are available with the cells recessed into the frame channels for protection. Also included
is a signal-trim summing board enclosed in an aluminum or durable stainless steel enclosure that has a
convenient top-access for any necessary corner corrections.
Load cell cables are run through the main channels and held down with replaceable cable ties near each corner,
eliminating the possibility of cable damage in portable applications. Threaded holes, located in the top corners of
the deck, are another useful feature. This allows for placement of removable eyebolts to lift the scale from above
with chains and safely place the scale in a portability frame for portable applications. Because of the possibility
of foot and load cell damage from forklift tines, the scale should always be lifted from above with chains through
the eyebolts.
The adjustable feet are used to allow leveling the scale to make up for minor floor irregularities. The threaded
lifting holes double as foot adjustment holes adding to the ease of installation. Optional floor anchor plates are
available to secure the scale to the floor if access ramps or a portability frame aren’t used. If floor ramps are used,
then the ramps hold the scale in place.
Other available options include portability frames and access ramps for both sizes of the RoughDeck BDP.

2.0 Installation
The RoughDeck BDP can be installed either permanently or used as a portable scale depending on the intended
location. There are certain requirements for installation based on the desired location of the BDP. The following
sections describe the correct installation procedures for installing the RoughDeck BDP as a permanent scale or a
portable scale.
Both types of installations require some basic steps that are characteristic to both types:
1. Selecting a site
2. Checking levelness and smoothness of site
3. Unpacking the scale
2.1 Site Preparation
The scale must not be loaded beyond its capacity, even momentarily. Avoid areas where the scale might receive
damaging side impacts from wheels or forklift tines, or shock damage from falling objects. Avoid areas where
water may damage a scale not meant for a washdown environment.
The interface cable between the scale and the indicator must be protected against crushing, cutting, or moisture
damage. If the chosen site has such potential dangers, some method of protection, such as running the cable in
conduit, is necessary if using the scale in a permanent location.
In operation, the scale must be level within 1/4 inch. Either choose a site where the floor is close to this standard
to avoid excessive shimming, or modify the floor at the chosen site to meet this standard. Use the bubble level in
the center of the scale deck to determine if the scale is level.
2.2 Unpacking
Remove all packing material and visually inspect the floor scale for visible damage caused during shipment. If
any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately.
Scale Only
The shipping container for the scale should contain the following:
• Floor scale
• Floor scale feet
Portability Frame
The shipping container for the portability frame should contain the following:
• Scale frame
• Indicator stand
• Mounting hardware
All BDP models have four threaded eyebolt holes located in the corners of the deck to allow installation of
eyebolt hooks for use when lifting the scale with chains.
It’s recommended to use 1/2 in-13NC eyebolts in 1K–2.5K-lb capacity scales.
• Installation manual
•Ten foot length of load cell cable

3.0 Permanent Installation
The following steps are needed to install the BDP in a permanent location.
1. Adjust the four feet on the scale
2. Install mounting plates to the floor (if not using access ramps)
3. Connect cable to the indicator
4. Calibrate the unit
Access ramps are described in Sections 3.2.
3.1 Assembly
The following paragraphs give instructions for installing and adjusting the scale feet and anchor plate.
3.1.1 Installing and Adjusting Feet
For load cell protection during shipping, the scale feet are not installed in the floor scale.
Screw one foot into each load cell and turn all the way in until the top of the foot touches the load cell or the foot
stem touches the underside of the deck. Then unscrew each foot ten complete turns.
Place a spirit level on the deck. Adjust any “high” corners not in contact with the floor by further unscrewing the
feet on those corners until they just contact the floor surface. When all feet are in contact with the floor, check the
deck with the spirit level to be sure the scale is within 1/4 inch of level or use the bubble level located in the
center of the deck.
3.1.2 Anchor Plate Installation
For permanent applications with no access ramps the scale should be secured to the floor to prevent sideways
movement. Two mild steel, floor anchor plates with holes that slightly exceed the foot diameter are available as
an option for that purpose. Use the following steps to install floor anchor plates:
1. Lift the scale so that the feet are approximately one inch off the floor.
2. Slide mounting plates under two diagonally opposed feet.
3. Lower the scale back to the floor, and position the plates as shown in Figure 3-1 so that the boltdown
holes are accessible from above.
4. Using the mounting plates as templates, drill pilot holes into the floor for suitable anchor bolts. Bolt the
plates to the floor using 1/2 inch anchor bolts.
5. Recheck foot adjustment and deck level after this operation.
Note:
For installations using access ramps, mounting plates are not necessary as the ramps have built-in mounting
plates to secure the scale feet.

3.2 Access Ramps
Optional access ramps for the RoughDeck BDP barrel scale come in both mild steel and stainless steel versions
and have a standard treaded plate. They are designed to bolt to the floor, with built-in mounting plates that attach
to the scale feet. When used with access ramps, side movement of the scale is automatically eliminated, and no
other mounting plates are necessary.
Access ramps can only be attached to the scale on one of the two scale sides that are perpendicular to the
longitudinal axis of the load cells and that are perpendicular to the side rails. For example, the scale shown below
could have an access ramp on the left side as shown, and/or on the right side. The top and bottom sides, howev er,
will not accept the ramp mounting plates.
Side rails

3.3 Electrical Interface to Indicator
Ten feet of 6-wire cable to connect the scale to the weight indicator is supplied with each scale. The junction box
is easily accessible through a top access plate located on the top of the RoughDeck BDP. Use the following steps
to wire up the junction box:
1. Remove the two screws using an 1/8 inch allen wrench to remove the scale junction box cover plate.
2. Slide the junction box assembly out of the deck.
3. Open and remove the top of junction box.
4. Push the cable end into the junction box through a cord grip.
5. Connect the wires to the indicator terminal (Figure 3-3) as shown in Table 3-1.
6. Pull out excess cable and tighten the cord grip to hold the cable snugly.

4.0 Portable Deck Installation
The RoughDeck BDP offers an optional portability frame kit, which makes the BDP easy to move from place to
place and can easily convert a permanent scale into a portable one. The portability frame is compact and sits
below the live siderails so it will not interfere with weighing pallets or larger items. The frame contains casters,
indicator stand, and mounting hardware. Due to the wheel engager design, the wheels will not interfere with
larger items.
Warning
Do not use casters to transport a load. When lifting or lowering the casters, assist by lifting the end of
the scale with one hand while operating the toggle with the other.

Hinged access
ramp tabs
The BDP scale fits inside of the portability frame. Refer to Figure 2-1 on page 3 for the proper lifting technique
when setting the scale into the portability frame or removing it out of the frame. Four levers located on the sides
of the portability frame are used for raising or lowering the portability frame for movement.
To lower the frame into a stationary position, engage the levers on the sides of the portability frame and lower
them down. This lever action will drop the entire frame down onto the floor making the frame and scale
stationary.
To raise the scale so that it can be moved, engage the levers on the sides of the portability frame and raise them
up. This will raise the entire frame and then the scale can be easily moved from one location to the next.
4.1 Hinged Access Ramps
Optional hinged access ramps are available with the portability frame. The BDP’s low profile design allows the
ramps to sit flush with the ground eliminating a speed bump, yet hinged so the operator can rest them on the
scale’s surface when moving the scale. Ramps come in either mild steel or stainless steel. The hinged access
ramps attach to the portability frame by attaching them to the access ramp tabs (as shown in Figure 4-1), with
1/4-20 bolts and nuts.

5.0 Adjustments and Calibration
The following sections describe adjustments that need to be made to the RoughDeck BDP barrel scale.
5.1 Mechanical Adjustments
To accommodate minor floor unevenness, the scale feet can be used to adjust scale height up or down a fraction
of an inch. Adjust the feet by hand or with a screw driver until all feet are contacting the floor equally. No jam
nuts are supplied for locking the feet, as there is a slight decrease in accuracy when jam nuts are tightened.
However, if you feel that your application requires you to secure the feet, we suggest using Teflon
Loctite
®
.
When adjusting scale feet, use care to prevent the scale foot from bottoming out against the underside of the load
cell. Also, the foot stem can be damaged by bending or stripping threads if e xtended be yond the maximum height
adjustment.
When height adjustments are complete, recheck the bubble level located in the center of the deck. The scale deck
must be level within 1/4 inch.
5.2 Corner Correction
All assembled RoughDeck BPD scales are corner-trimmed at the factory as part of the final assembly process.
Corner trimming is only necessary after replacing a load cell.
To calibrate the scale, the output from each load cell must be matched by adjusting the signals with
potentiometers in the junction box—a process known as trimming.
Remove the junction box cover and identify the correct load cell terminal corresponding to each corner (labeled
CELL 1, CELL 2, and so on). See Figure 6-4 on page 13 for scale deck corner numbering.
The indicator must be connected and calibrated approximately, but it need not indicate the exact weight value. A
test weight is required. The recommended test weight for all RoughDeck BDP models is 25% of scale capacity;
for example, 250 lbs for 1K-lb models, 650 lbs for 2.5K-Lb models.
With no weight on the scale, zero the indicator. Then turn all four potentiometers (Figure 5-1) clockwise to
increase the reading until a clicking sound is heard from each potentiometer. This ensures the maximum signal
from each load cell.

With all potentiometers at full signal, place the test weight over one corner and record the indicated weight.
Repeat the process for each of the other three corners. The load cell with the lowest corner reading is used as a
reference point and will not be trimmed.
Next, place the test weight over one of the other three corners and use that cell’s potentiometer to adjust the cell
output down to the reference cell output. Repeat this procedure with the other two high corners.
Adjustments are somewhat interactive, and adjusting the three higher outputs may affect the reference cell
output, especially in smaller scale decks. Rezero the indicator and repeat the test until all corners read within
±0.1% of the test weight used.
5.3 Calibration Procedure
Refer to the indicator manual to determine correct calibration procedures.
It is recommended that the scale be “exercised” before calibration to be certain that everything is seated. Use the
following steps:
1. Load the scale to near capacity two or three times.
2. With no load on the scale, place the indicator in its calibration mode and perform a zero calibration.
3. Place test weights on the platform equal to 70% - 80% of the scale’s capacity. If several weights are used,
they should be evenly distributed around the platform. Perform a span calibration.
4. Remove the test weights and check the zero reading.
5. Repeat the calibration process if necessary.

6.2 Periodic Maintenance
The space between the platform side and the portable deck assembly, and the surface beneath the platform must
be periodically cleaned to prevent debris build up. More frequent cleaning of these areas is necessary with scales
permanently mounted in pits.
Do not attempt to use scales with load cells that are not hermetically-sealed in washdown applications. Water
damage is a common cause of failure in non-hermetically-sealed load cells. Use care with high pressure steam
washdowns for hermetically-sealed load cells. The steam may not damage the load cells, but the elevated
temperatures may cause incorrect readings until the unit cools to room temperature.
