About This Manual This manual is intended for use by service technicians responsible for installing and servicing the IB Series electronic tuning fork scale. Configuration and calibration of the scale can be accomplished using the IB Series front panel keys. 1.0 Introduction The IB Series is an advanced precision weighing instrument utilizing a high-precision electronic tuning fork sensor which provides stable measurement over years of usage.
Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of the instrument should be conducted. Keep the scale in an upright position. The shipper and Rice Lake Weighing Systems should be notified immediately if a ny d a m a g e o c c u r r e d d u r i n g t r a n s p o r t a t i o n . Instructions for assessment of damage and further procedures will then be determined. 1.3 Unlocking Locate a black rubber cap at the top of the scale. Remove the cap to find a lock lever in it.
1.7 Leveling the Scale The scale must be level for proper operation. Use the four level adjusters located at the four corners of the scales main unit to adjust the horizontal position of the scale until the bubble of the level indicator lies within the red circle. Ensure that the scale sits solidly and does not wobble due to uneven adjustment. LEVEL INDICATOR BLUE CIRCLE ADJUSTERS BUBBLE Figure 1-4. Bubble Adjustment 1.
1.9 Front Panel Keypad Table 1-1 on page 4 shows the IB Series LED annunciators, keypad, and normal mode key functions. RICE SLEEP LOW-BATT P LAKE IB T F Figure 1-6. Front Panel Keypad The LCD annunciators shown on the IB Series front panel describe the indicator functions assigned in setup mode. In setup and calibration mode, the keys are used to navigate through menus, select digits within numeric values, and increment/decrement values.
The front panel operation key symbols describe the functions assigned to the scale. Function Operation Key Sets limit function or cancels functions P • Sets and memorizes data in the count mode and when the limit function is operating. • Calls up and selects functions and items. • Selects row during numerical setting (limit function). F • Selects operation zero and tare subtraction. • Selects input numeral during numerical setting (limit function). T Table 1-2. Front Panel Key Functions 1.
2.0 Calibration This section describes procedures for calibrating the IB Series scale. Follow the steps in Table 2-1 to calibrate the IB Series scale. Action Step 1 Hold down the F key until [Func] ➙ [CAL] appear in sequence, then release the key. 2 Hold down the T key, then press the F key, then release both keys. 3 The display will show [unit]. Select weight unit from parameters “1” to “d”, by pressing the T key. The contents of the parameters are the same as at function [71 uA].
3.0 Measuring Weight This section describes procedures for tare subtraction and weighing on the IB Series scale. Follow the steps below for tare subtracting and weighing on the IB Series scale. 1. Place a container on the weigh pan, press the T key. The zero display appears. Tare Subtraction 0.0 P F g T 2. Place the product in the container. The net weight is displayed. Net Weighing 1234.5 P 3. If you wish to remove the product or to return the display to zero, press the T key.
4.0 Count Weighing Count weighing is used to determine piece count rather than weight. In order for the scale to perform this function it must know the average piece weight. By loading a specified number of pieces on the pan and entering that count, the scale calculates and stores in memory the piece weight for that product. This process is referred to as “sampling.” For example, ten pieces are placed on the scale. When “10” is entered, the unit piece weight is set.
3. If the weighing mode display appears, press the T key to enter the count mode. 1.SET 1 ➩ P 4. To exit the function setting display and enter the count mode press the P key. Count Mode Weighing Mode F 1.SET 2 P T T Exit Mode Settings 0 P 4.2 F pcs. F T Self Counting System Self Counting System (SCS) allows the user to start with any sample quantity selected. The concept of SCS keeps the user within built-in parameters.
4. Place the selected number of items in the tare vessel a n d t h e n p r e s s t h e F key. T h e d i s p l a y w i l l temporarily go blank and a tone will be emitted, indicating the quantity has been memorized. The ["] flashes, indicating that memory is being updated. 5. If additional items are placed in the tare vessel (maximum of three times the displayed quantity), the new quantity will be memorized. A tone will then be emitted indicating the new quantity has been memorized.
5.0 Calculation Factor Mode In calculation factor mode, the desired index is memorized, the index for the weight of the item placed on the scale is calculated and the calculated value is displayed. This allows conversion into various units. 5.1 Method of Operation 1. Hold down the F key until [C Set] appears. The [M] symbol and the display begins flashing. If a reference value has already been set, that value displays. C. SET P 2.
6. When an item is placed on the scale, the index of its weight is calculated and the calculated value displays. This display is equal to the index (1.23) times the weight of the item (100 g). Measurement of Index 123.
6.0 Percentage Mode The weight of the sample selected as the reference is memorized as 100%. The ratio between the item being measured and the reference is displayed as a percentage. 6.1 Setting Actual Weight 1. Press the T key to zero the scale. This operation is also performed if the tare vessel is used. Zero Scale 0% P 2. Continuously press the F key until [P SEt] displays. The [M] symbol and the display flash. If a reference value has been previously set, that value displays. ➩ ➩ P.
6.2 Setting Numerical Value 1. Press the F key until the [P SEt] message is displayed. The [M] symbol and the setting value flashes on the display. If the reference value has been previously set, that value is dislayed. P. SET P 2. Press the T key until the [0] displays to the right side and the bar graph underneath flashes. The desired value can now be set. ➩ ➩ F Setting Index Value 0.00 % T Start Numeric Input 0.0 % P 3.
7.0 Functions The following sections describe the functionality of the IB Series scale. 7.1 Selecting Functions 1. Hold down the F key for about four seconds. Release when the [Func] display appears.

8.0 Comparator Function The comparator function is convenient for classifying weighing items according to pre-determined weight ranges. The upper and lower limits of this range are stored in the scale’s memory, and when an item is placed on the weighing pan it is judged as either acceptable or unacceptable. This function can only be used in weighing mode. 8.1 Upper and Lower Limit Setting Procedure To set the upper and lower limits, follow this procedure while referring to Section 8.3 on page 24. 1.
