Start-up Self Check

The RS-130/RS-160 must charge for 24 hours prior to operation. Turn on the scale using the ON/OFF switch on the bottom, right side of the scale. The main program provides the following display check

• Shows the total capacity (30 or 60) in the WEIGHT display
• Counts from one to nine in each display window
• Displays the total capacity (30 or 60) in the WEIGHT display again
• Displays 0.00 for operation
  
  Figure 1-2. ON/OFF Switch Location

Power Supply

The RS-130/RS-160 can use power supplied by either a plug-in 110 VAC or the internal sealed, lead-acid rechargeable battery with a life expectancy of five years under normal use.

• AC – 110V/60Hz ±10% (battery recharging only)
• DC – 6V / 25mA; P=0.2W (max) 4Ah

Battery Recharging

The battery has 100+ hours of use before it needs recharging. When the battery is low, the total display shows -LO- and there are three beeps. After the initial warning of low battery, the scale has approximately two to three hours of battery life left. If the battery is not charged, the scale will beep and then shut down. To recharge the battery, allow eight to ten hours for a full charge. Table 1-2 describes the Charge LED colors.
