Quick guide from the manual

Load cell cable routing steps
  1. Preparation: Inspect the carton for damage. Do not use sharp objects to open inner packaging.
  2. Cable Routing: Feed the load cell cable from the platform through the right handrail support and out the hole behind the wheel. Ensure the cable is routed towards the top of the wheel, not through the channel next to it.
  3. Connection: Feed the cable through the protective metal shield and plug it into the load cell port on the bottom of the platform.
  4. Handrail Assembly: Position the center handrail onto the supports. Secure using M8 bolts and washers. Align side handrails with the center handrail and secure with M10 bolts.
  5. Leveling: Tip the scale to access the underside. Thread the four feet into the platform. Tighten fully by hand, then back out 1-1/2 turns to allow for proper load cell operation.
  6. Display Head: Align the display head with the silver display support and slide it onto the tabs. Secure with M4 screws.
  7. Final Steps: Attach the plastic bracket cover and plug the load cell cable into the rear of the display head. Attach display support covers.

Operating Instructions

Weighing a Patient: Ensure the platform is clear and reads 0.0. Ask the patient to step on. The scale will display "PROCESSING" and then "LOCKED" when the weight is stable.

BMI Function: After obtaining the patient's weight, press the BMI button. Use arrow keys to enter height (inches for LB mode, centimeters for KG mode) and press Enter. The display will show the BMI.

Tare Function: To subtract the weight of an object (e.g., oxygen tank), place the object on the scale and press Tare. The scale will zero. Place the patient on the scale; the display will show the patient's weight minus the tare value.

Parent/Child Function: Weigh the parent, press Tare, then have the parent hold the child. The scale will display only the child's weight.

Settings and Configuration

Access the Help menu to configure settings:

  • Units Lock: Lock the scale to LB or KG (not available on KG models).
  • Everlock: A permanent unit lock feature (requires factory reset to change).
  • Auto Zero: Enable or disable automatic zeroing on power-up.
  • Auto Off: Configure inactivity timers for battery or AC power.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning. Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water, 70% isopropyl alcohol, or a 1-5% hydrogen peroxide solution. Never submerge the scale or spray fluids directly onto it.

Troubleshooting

If the scale does not power on, check the batteries or AC adapter. If the weight is questionable, ensure the scale is on a level surface and the feet are properly adjusted. If "Load Cell Cable Not Detected" appears, inspect the cable connections at the display head and platform.

Practical help

Common problems

Scale does not power on

Check for dead batteries, faulty electrical outlet, or replace the AC adapter.

Questionable weight or scale does not zero

Remove interfering objects, ensure the scale is on a level floor, and verify feet are balanced (tighten fully, then back out 1-1/2 turns).

Weighing process takes too long

Ensure the patient is standing still on the platform.

Scale displays 'Load Cell Cable Not Detected'

Inspect the load cell cable connections at the back of the display head and the back of the platform. Unplug and re-plug until it clicks.

Before use

  • Inspect carton for shipping damage
  • Place scale on a flat, stable surface
  • Check AC adapter cord for cracking or fraying
  • Ensure batteries are fresh (if not using AC adapter)
  • Verify feet are properly leveled
