1.0 Introduction

The 160-10-7N Low-Profile Digital Athletic Scale is efficiently designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable weight measurements. The large, stand-alone indicator can be placed on a table or the floor. It can also be mounted to a wall using the sturdy, built-in bracket. The 160-10-7N Low- Profile Digital Athletic Scale is an NTEP-certified device that provides the highest possible accuracy when weight is a critical factor.

Manuals and additional resources are available from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems website at www.ricelake.com/health

4.0 Communication

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. Figure 4-1 on page 10 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 (default), 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 emits 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.

In the weigh mode, the scale sends the 21 character string: xxxxxxxxxuummmmm

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 = -10.0lbNet
10 Lb gross = 10.0lbGross

The BMI button does not function when set up as an NTEP-certified scale.

Example: 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 USB Connection

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.

5.0 Sealing of the Unit

The 160-10-7N Low-Profile Digital Athletic Scale is an NTEP certified scale. To maintain NTEP certification, the unit must not be opened.

5.1 NTEP Regulations

Weights and Measures stickers or foil labels are used on both sides of the unit to seal and prevent it from being opened. Whomever installs the scale is responsible for placing stickers on the unit. The desired sticker location is noted in Figure 5-1.

RICE LAKE 160-10-7N - Figure 5-1

6.0 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

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.

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 damage
  • 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 batteries in for long periods of time can cause batteries to leak
6.2 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
6.3 Troubleshooting

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