Introduction
1.0 Introduction
The VS-20 Digital Veterinarian Scale is a professional tool providing
precision weighing information. The design patented scale is multi-functional;
weight is automatically displayed; after height input into scale, the
patient’s BMI is displayed. The large digital display makes it easy to read
the results. The VS-20 scale is used to establish weight, height and BMI (Body
Mass Index). The scale is designed to adhere to the highest standards of
measurement and compliance. Communication is through serial and/or USB cable
and the transmission can be to a printer or PC with a click of a button. A
simple and easy protocol allows a trouble-free interface to EMR data base
systems.

www.ricelake.com/warranties
1.1 FCC Compliance
United States This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Canada This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference
Regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications. Le présent appareil
numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites
applicables aux appareils numériques de la Class A prescites dans le Règlement
sur le brouillage radioélectrique edicté par le ministère des Communications
du Canada.

1.2 Safety
Safety Definitions:
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury. Includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that,
if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. Includes hazards that
are exposed when guards are removed.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided,
could result in minor or moderate injury. IMPORTANT: Indicates information
about procedures that, if not observed, could result in damage to equipment or
corruption to and loss of data.
General Safety
Do not operate or work on this equipment unless this manual has been read and
all instructions are understood. Failure to follow the instructions or heed
the warnings could result in injury or death. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing
Systems dealer for replacement manuals.
WARNING Failure to heed could result in serious injury or death. Ensure every
individual who operates or works with this unit has read and understands all
safety information. Do not transport the scale while someone is on the scale.
Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this scale.
Do not use in the presence of flammable materials. Do not use this product if
any of the components are loose or cracked. Do not use near water. Do not use
the scale on slippery surfaces, such as a wet floor. Do not use this scale
when a person’s body or feet are wet, such as after taking a bath. Do not
place fingers into slots or possible pinch points. To avoid cross
contamination, the scale should be cleaned regularly. Prior to cleaning, make
sure the scale is disconnected from the power source. People with
disabilities, or who are physically frail, should always be assisted by
another person when using this scale.
IMPORTANT Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks. Do not jump
on the scale. For accurate weighing, the scale must be placed on a flat,
stable surface. Operating at voltages and frequencies other than specified
could damage the equipment. Avoid contact with excessive moisture. Do not make
alterations or modifications to the scale. Rice Lake Weighing Systems offers
optional AC adapters; utilizing an adapter not supplied by Rice Lake Weighing

Only functions if the current weight is stable and less than 2% of the
capacity of the scale. Anything over 2% requires a recalibration.
Displays most current weight value on the display and holds that value when
the patient is off the scale. A second press releases the weight value. Not
active while in BMI mode.
Pressing the BMI key enables access to the BMI (Body Mass Index) mode
(defaults when scale is turned on). The patient is gets on the scale, weight
stabilizes and press the BMI key. The display then asks for the patient height
to calculate out the patient BMI. When using the BMI function, the display
will be looking for a height entry. Pressing Clear changes this entry back to
190.0 cm (default) or 5 ft, 7.5 in. Once BMI is displayed, pressing the Clear
key exits BMI.
Used to accept height in BMI mode; accepts the value of the parameter last
entered and moves to the next stage. Pressing and holding Enter during startup
will display ID. This is the first setup on entering into configuration mode.
Adjusts the value of the flashing digit/number. Adjusts height input (0.5

VS-20 Digital Veterinarian Scale
4.0 Communication
The unit comes with an RS-232 port that 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. That
connection is shown in USB Connection section on the next page. The RS-232
parameters are:
· 9600 baud (selectable in the programming mode) · 8 data bits · 1 stop bit ·
no parity · no handshaking There are three methods of communication: · Push-
button keypad print · Standard remote protocol · Escape protocol
4.1 Push-button Keypad Print
With a stable, in-range weight, press and hold for at least three seconds, or
until the scale emits two quick beeps.
NOTE: If the scale does not beep after five seconds, release
as the weight was either in motion or out of range.
If displaying weight and not BMI, the scale will send out the following 21
character string: xxxxxxxxx

Communication
4.2 USB Connection
The scale has the capability of connecting to a Windows® computer (PC) using a
USB cable (not included) and a terminal emulation program. A terminal
emulation program allows the transfer of data between the scale and PC using a
serial port.
USB Connection
RS-232 Connection
Figure 4-1. Connection Ports NOTE: Apple® and Macintosh® computers are unable
to transfer the necessary data to the scale. Only use a PC for data transfer.
Connecting software and downloads should always be addressed by the IT
department for safety reasons and can vary depending on what type of computer
platform is being used. NOTE: Consult the IT department if driver protections
are preventing the use of the USB driver. Driver protections may need to be
temporarily disabled on Windows 10 or later computers to allow for the
installation of the USB driver. 1. Connect the scale’s indicator to a PC using
a USB-Type B to USB-Type A cable (not included). 2. Turn the indicator on.
NOTE: In most cases, the PC should find the driver and automatically configure
the driver when the scale is plugged into a USB port. 3. Open a terminal
emulation program, such as Advanced Serial Port Terminal, pUtty or Hercules
(used in this example). 4. Connect to the serial port assigned by the PC (COM5
in example). This can be found in Device Manager. Once selected,
press Open.

damage · Inspect the condition of the AC power adapter cord for cracking,
fraying or for broken or bent prongs
5.2 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. Dry with a clean soft cloth
· Do not immerse the scale into cleaning or other liquid solutions · Do not
use Isopropyl alcohol or other solutions to clean the display surface
