Introduction

The Benchmark LP is a four-cell, low-profile scale. 

Features include:

Available in sizes from 18 in. x 18 in (.46 m x 

46 m) to 36 in x 36 in (.91 m x .91 m).

Capacities from 100 to 1000 lbs (45 - 453 kg).

Fully electronic low-profile load receivers.

Four corner-mounted, FM-approved planar 

beam load cells.

Signal-trim summing board for any necessary 

corner corrections, mounted under a stainless 

s t e e l   c o v e r   t h a t   c a n   b e   s e a l e d   f o r  

legal-for-trade. 

All models come pre-trimmed; corner 

corrections should not be necessary.

Load cell cables are held down with 

replaceable cable ties near each corner.

Adjustable feet can be used to allow leveling 

of the scale to compensate for minor floor 

irregularities. 

Holes are located in the lower frame to be 

used for permanent mounting applications.

Model Designations

The model identification label is located on the side of 

the frame. Include both model number and serial 

number when ordering replacement parts.

Electrical Grounding

For systems where the scale is connected to a 115 

VAC circuit, the indicator must be directly connected 

to an earth ground with a ground interface cable of no 

more than 3

 resistance throughout its length.

Load Cells

Four (4) Rice Lake RLBLP (planar beam)

Rated Excitation: 5-15 VDC

Grade Level Requirement

The supporting surface of the scale (encompassing 
four feet) must be level within 

1

/

4

 in of horizontal.

End Load Capacity

60% of full scale capacity.
