1.0 Introduction

Introduction

The 920i Weigh Center can be installed on most Rice Lake Weighing Systems livestock scales. This system is manufactured with top quality components and is engineered using the latest technology to provide operating features and reliability unmatched for years to come.

This manual provides operating instructions and configuration information for the 920i Weigh Center.

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

Warranty information can be found on the website at www.ricelake.com/ warranties

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. Contact any Rice Lake Weighing Systems dealer for replacement manuals.
WARNING
Failure to heed may result in serious injury or death. Do not allow minors (children) or inexperienced persons to operate this unit. Do not operate without all shields and guards in place. Do not use for purposes other than weighing. Do not place fingers into slots or possible pinch points. Do not use any load bearing component that is worn beyond five percent of the original dimension. Do not use this product if any of the components are cracked.

920i Weigh Center
Do not remove or obscure warning labels. Keep hands, feet and loose clothing away from moving parts. Some procedures described in this manual require work inside the indicator enclosure. These procedures are to be performed by qualified service personnel only. Always be certain when lowering the scale that everyone is clear of the scale and any moving parts. Use two hands when gripping the lift handle to raise or lower the scale. Be sure the gates are latched or tied inward before transporting the scale. Ensure all three hitch lock pins are installed and the suspension stops are in the transport position before moving the scale.
IMPORTANT
Livestock scales are not intended for the transportation of livestock or any other goods. Any addition of weight to the scale while in transport mode can cause premature component failure and voids the Rice Lake Weighing Systems warranty.
Animal Safety
Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any type of animal. The scale surface may become slippery during use; a build-up of manure on the scale may reduce traction. It is recommended to take any necessary precautions to maintain an acceptable level of animal footing.
Calibration
Do not calibrate this scale with a weight cart having a gross weight in excess of 25% of the total capacity of the scale. See the scale installation manual for specific calibration instructions. This device is designed to be calibrated with single block weights spread evenly throughout the floor of the scale. If using a test cart, use 3/4” plywood for testing and calibration. This will minimize the damage to the x-lug flooring. Shift tests should not be done with more than 4,000 lb or 1,815 kg in a 4′ x 4′ area. Failure to comply with this warning will result in damage to the scale and void the warranty.

1.3 Overview
CAUTION: Animal safety is a very serious issue and must be observed when handling any type of animal. The scale surface may become slippery during use; a build-up of manure on the scale may reduce traction. It is recommended to take any necessary precautions to maintain an acceptable level of animal footing.
The Weigh Center houses the 920i indicator and ticket printer. Figure 1-5 shows the layout of the control box. Figure 1-6 on page 11 shows a close-up of the 920i indicator. The control box is powered by a deep cycle battery located in the battery box mounted to the scale frame. This battery is normally charged during towing; however, if the battery is
low, charge it using a trickle charger.

% Delta Wt Set the percent change in the printed weight before the live total starts getting updated again; Example: If 1000 lb is weighed and most of those animals leave the scale and the next batch starts coming on (scale does not go all the way to zero), when it is at 100 lb (default is 90 percent change in weight) or 1100 lb (either direction) it will start updating that weight again. The live total should show more than the regular total if they’re getting close to weighing capacity (if the scale only holds 20,000 and their last total was 19,500, they will want to only add 500 worth of animals).

3.4 USB Flash Drive
3.4.1 Loading Configuration Files and Databases
Certain files may take extended periods of time to load directly from a PC to the 920i. A flash drive is recommended for fast loading times. It is also recommended to create a folder matching each 920i’s unit ID number, if using multiple 920i units. When loading configuration files, the unit will load the file contained in a folder matching its UID# (the default UID# is 1). If a folder matching the UID is not found, the unit will load the first file found.
IMPORTANT: If loading a configuration file from a UID subdirectory, ensure the configuration file does not change the unit ID. Otherwise, a .COD file in that subdirectory will not be recognized until the UID is manually reverted to its original number.
NOTE: File names are limited to eight characters.
1. Using a PC, copy the desired configuration file to the flash drive. 2. Insert the flash drive to the 920i Weigh Center’s Type-A USB connector. 3. Press the USB softkey. 4. Select Drive and press Enter. 5. Place the indicator in setup mode and navigate to the SERIAL » PORT2 menu
shown in Figure 3-2 on page 23.

3.5 Saving Configuration Files and Databases
Certain files may take extended periods of time to save directly from a PC to the 920i. For fastest save times, using a flash drive is recommended.
IMPORTANT: When saving a configuration file, the indicator will attempt to save to a folder matching its UID number (the default UID# is 1). If a folder is not found, the file will be saved to the drive’s root directory and overwrite any existing files matching its UID# followed by the .920 file extension i.e., 1.920i.

5.4 Maintenance Schedule
Weekly
Check all external cables and conduit for damage.
Yearly
Check indicator level switch.
5.4.1 Checking Level Switch
During normal operation of the level sensing device, the operator will not see any messages from the system. The software has been designed so only errors will be reported to the operator. If the scale is out of level during setup, the Out Of Level message will be displayed. If during operation the scale should shift and become out of level, the same message will be displayed and the operator will not be able to weigh animals while the out of level condition exists.
NOTE:Should the level sensor become faulty, the Out Of Level message will be displayed and the pitch and roll angle may display No Sensor Comm. Replacement of the level sensor or CPU board in the indicator may be required. 1. Place the system on a slope greater than four degrees (example a steep approach). 2. Alternately, jack up one side of the base frame so that the scale is off level by more than four degrees. 3. Turn on the indicator and check the display. If the indicator does not display Off Level, there may be a faulty PCB. Consult the local scale dealer. This test should be performed in all four directions: front low, rear low, right side low and left side low.
