screw. Setup will time out to verify the switch is set to the ON position. Then,

perform a span switch state check (see Section 3.1).

Remove Screw

Figure 3-1. Setup Switch

3.1 Software Version and Span State Check

1.With the unit in weigh mode, press and hold the ZERO key.

2.With the ZERO key held, press and release the POWER key three times.

3.The display will show the software version for two seconds, then show the

current span switch state (S-ON or S-OFF).

After three seconds, the unit will return to weigh mode.

3.2 Performing a Calibration

The Versa-portion RLP-S/SM must be calibrated in grams or kilograms, and

SPEC 01 and 02 must be set for the gram value (or kg in the SM version). See

Section 3.4.

calibrate the zero point.

The display will show dashes, then CALSP.

4.Place the scale’s full capacity weight on the platter and press the ZERO key to

calibrate span.

The display will show dashes, then the weight value.

Calibration weight is full grams capacity. Full capacity values are as

follows: RLP-6S = 3000 g (3 kg);



RLP-15S = 6000 g (6 kg); RLP-30S = 15000 g (15 kg); RLP-60S = 30000 g

(30 kg).

5.The scale will return to weigh mode automatically. Power down the unit.

6.Calibration is complete.

3.3 Enclosure Security

After an NTEP inspector has examined the unit, he/she will install security cables

through three bolts on the underside of the scale. These cables prevent the unit

from being tampered with by an unauthorized individual. If the cable is removed,

NTEP certification will become void.

Figure 3-2. Legal for trade seal; cable passes through three bolts

3.4 Setting the SPEC Value

The SPEC value is used to specify decimal point position, minimum display, net/

gross multi-interval, resolution, weight single or multi-interval, decimal point

figure, negative weight display mask, IR mode protection (SPAN switch must be

turned on to allow calibration), start range (amount of weight that can be on the

scale when it is turned on), re-zero range, manual tare cancellation, tare

subtraction, tare accumulation, auto tare, weight reset, tare auto clear, zero

tracking, re-zero, and the UNIT key function. See Table 3-1 on page 5.

1.Press the setup switch (see Figure 3-1).

2.With the unit in weigh mode, press and hold the ZERO key.
