In the past we have gotten quite a few people asking, how difficult is it to set the auto-off feature on the Rice Lake RS-130 price computing scale. So we figured we would show you. Not too bad at all. Please note, work inside scale enclosure is not required to change this feature.

1. Turn on the scale and press and hold the CHANGE key until 6.3 (version) shows in the WEIGHT display (approximately three seconds).
2. Press and hold the ZERO key until the WEIGHT display shows SEtUP (approx. three seconds).
3. Press the 3 key, WEIGHT display shows USUAL.
4. Press the 2 key to enter the Auto-Off mode. WEIGHT display shows -30- (minutes).
5. Use the CLEAR key to select -30-, -15-, -5-,-OFF-.
6. Press the CHANGE key to confirm setting.
Scale will automatically restart and you’ve now changed your auto-off function. Remember this is for the RS130 scale.

This month is a great time to take out your old faithful price computing scale and give it a good work out.  Plug it in and make sure it powers up and charges if it has a battery.  It might even be a good idea to order a spare battery to prepare for the spring.  Make sure all the buttons on the keypad work.  This is especially important if you type in prices per pound using the number keys.  Make sure the displays work on both front and back so that you and your customer are not “in the dark”. 

Finally, take a look at the selection of price computing scales currently available this winter.  You may find a deal too good to pass on.  Plus, you can always use a good backup unit or add a second scale to your produce stand so that your customers are able to purchase produce from you as fast as ever.
