1.0 Introduction and System Overview
The Rice Lake Bariatric Wheelchair Scale is a heavy-duty scale that easily accommodates wheelchairs with its
large platform size and easy-access ramp in either a single ramp (RL-350-1) or dual ramp model (RL-350-2). It
provides exceptional performance in applications where typical wheelchair scales are not large enough to meet
the needs of the patient.
The Rice Lake Bariatric Wheelchair Scale is a fully electronic, low profile floor scale that measures 34 in x 34 in
(.86 m x .86 m), and has a capacity up to 1000 lbs (500 kg). The Rice Lake Bariatric Wheelchair uses four
corner-mounted, alloy steel shear beam load cells, with the cells recessed into the frame channels for protection.
The Rice Lake Bariatric Wheelchair Scale offers two integral handles and wheels for ease of portability.
Load cell cables are run through the main channels, and held down with replaceable cable ties near each corner,
eliminating the possibility of cable damage in portable applications.
The Rice Lake Bariatric Wheelchair Scale comes equipped with a anti-slip rubber surface on the scale platform
and a large 1" LCD indicator display and a 120 VAC or 230 VAC adaptor to use when power is readily available.
It is also capable of operating on the internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery when no power source is
available.

The scale is set up to use motion sensing technology, to determine actual weight of a moving patient. The weight
can be displayed in either pounds or kilograms and you can enter a tare weight. The Scale Operation Section on
page 8 of this manual explains the scale operation and how to obtain a tare weight.
