1.0 Introduction

The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale provides precise weighing of babies and neonates. Highly sophisticated

microprocessor technology allows accurate, reliable, and repeatable weighments every time. Movement

compensation technology eliminates errors caused by spontaneous movement of the baby and the weight display

can be displayed in pounds/ounces or in kilograms.

This manual can be viewed and downloaded from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems web site at

www.ricelake.com/health. Rice Lake Weighing Systems is an ISO 9001 registered company

Figure 1-1. Rice Lake Neonatal Scale

With the Rice Lake Neonatal Scale, there are certain precautions that should be taken to prevent injury to the

baby and damage to your scale. Please follow these instructions carefully;

• Do not transport the scale while the infant is on the weighing tray.

• Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks.

• For accurate weighing, the scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.

• For accurate weighing, verify proper operation according to the procedure described in this manual

before each use.

• Do not use around flammable liquids.

• Operation at other voltages and frequencies than specified could damage your equipment.

2Neonatal Technical and Operating Instructions

2.0 Assembly Instructions

The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale comes with three pieces. Those pieces include:

• Weighing tray

• Base assembly

•Powersupply

Remove each part to be assembled from its carton and unwrap the packing material carefully to prevent

scratching the unit’s parts.

Figure 2-1. Neonatal Assembled Parts

1. Place the base assembly on a sturdy, flat surface.

2. Attach the weighing tray to the base assembly.

3. Plug in the power supply.

Power Supply

The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale has a 120VAC or 230VAC adaptor to use when power is not readily available. The

AC power adaptor plugs into the back of the indicator as shown in Figure 2-2.

Figure 2-2. AC Power Connection Site

Neonatal Technical and Operating Instructions - Assembly Instructions 3

The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale is also capable of running on its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if

no additional power source is available. The battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the LO Bat indicator is

showing on the display, recharge battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for

accurate weighing.

Battery Charging

When the scale is on, the BAT display indicates that the scale battery requires recharging. The scale should be

connected to an AC power source.

Figure 2-3. Low Battery Display Location

When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode.

NOTE: To maintain battery longevity we recommend you charge it on a regular basis rather than waiting until it is fully

discharged.

3.0 Scale Setup

Figure 3-1. Neonatal Display

Use the following table to identify what each part of the display does.

Item Description Function

1ON-OFF key

One short push for On

One short push for Off

This key turns the scale on and off

2REWEIGH key

One short push

This key allows repeated reweighing of an

infant

3ZERO key

When the scale is turned on, use one short

push

This zeros the digital display prior to

weighing. It enables the cancellation (tare) of

weight of blankets or other accessories on

the scale.

4Kg/Lb key

One short push

This key selects either pounds/ounces or

kilograms

5BAT indicator When the scale is on, this display indicates

that the scale battery requires recharging.

The scale should be connected to an AC

power source.

6ZERO indicator When the scale is on, this display indicates

that the scale is stable and ready for use

7 6-Digit LCD Digital display The LCD displays the infant weight in

pounds/ounces or kilograms and shown by

the LB or KG indicator on the right side of

the display. When the REWEIGH key is

depressed, the display will blink until

the infant’s weight is determined.

8CHARGE indicator This is displayed when the scale is on and is

connected to an AC power source and the

battery is in the charging process

9LB indicator When the scale is on, this display indicates

that the scale is weighing in pounds/ounces

10 KG indicator When the scale is on, this display indicates

that the scale is weighing in kilograms

Neonatal Technical and Operating Instructions - Scale Setup 5

Use the following steps to set up your Rice Lake Neonatal Scale when you initially power it up.

1. To operate the unit using the AC adaptor, plug the AC adaptor cable into the back of the scale as shown

in Figure 2-2 2, and the AC adaptor plugs into a power source.

2. Press the ON-OFF key to turn on the scale.

3. When the self test function is complete, the digital display should read: 0-00.00 if set up in Lb/Oz or 0.000

if set up to read in Kg. The Charge indicator should also be illuminated on the display up until the battery

is fully charged.

4. Place a weight (not exceeding 30 lbs) on the scale. The digital display should blink until the

weight calculation is complete.

5. Press the Kg-Lb key to select the weight mode, either in pounds/ounces or kilograms.

6. Pressing the REWEIGH key forces the scale to recompute the weight of the item on the scale.

7. Remove the weight from the scale. The digital display will continue to show the weight of the item that

was on the scale.

8. Press the ZERO key and the display will return back to zero.

9. Disconnect the scale from the AC power source. The scale will automatically switch over to battery

power and if a rechargeable battery is in use, the Charge indicator will turn off.

NOTES:

• If the setup procedure failed, refer to the troubleshooting section of this manual. If the problem is not

resolved, refer to a qualified service provider.

• The rechargeable batteries automatically go into recharge mode when the AC adaptor is connected to the

power source. When the cable is inserted into the power source, the LED light up red which is located to

the left hand side of the cable on the back of the indicator. When the battery is completely recharged, the

LED changes from red to green.

• After the procedure, if you are using a rechargeable battery, connect the scale to an AC power source for

at least eight hours to recharge the battery.

6Neonatal Technical and Operating Instructions

4.0 Scale Operation

The Rice Lake Neonatal Scale can accurately weigh neonates and babies up to 30 lbs. Use the following steps to

weigh a baby.

1. Press the ON-OFF key to turn the scale on.

2. Wait until the 0-00.0 (if set up in Lb/Oz) appears on the digital display or 0.000 if set up in Kg.

3. Place a pad on the weighing tray. Make sure that the edges of the pad are on the tray and are not touching

the surface on which the scale is positioned.

4. Press the ZERO key to cancel the weight of the pad or other accessory that is on the weighing tray.

5. Place the infant on the scale. The display will blink until the weight of the infant is determined.

6. Press the REWEIGH key to weigh the infant again (used to achieve a more accurate result).

7. Remove the infant from the scale. The digital display should continue to read the infant’s weight until

REWEIGH or the ZERO key is pressed.

NOTE: If the scale is not used for five minutes, it switches off to save battery life and power. To restart the scale, press

the ON-OFF key.
