Setup
The seca 220 is designed as an attachment for compatible seca column scales. Follow the specific instructions provided with your column scale for proper installation of the height rod.

- Initial Check: Once attached, gently extend and retract the telescopic rod to ensure smooth operation and verify that all parts are securely in place.
Operating Instructions
To obtain accurate height measurements using the seca 220 attachment:
- Positioning: Ensure the person being measured stands upright on the column scale, with their back against the height rod.
- Extend Rod: Gently extend the telescopic measuring rod upwards until the headpiece is positioned slightly above the person's head.
- Lower Headpiece: Carefully lower the headpiece until it rests lightly on the crown of the person's head, ensuring it is horizontal and parallel to the floor. The headpiece is designed to fold down for safety and ease of positioning.
- Read Measurement: Read the height measurement directly from the scale. The seca 220 features double-graduation, allowing readings in both centimeters (cm) and inches ("). Ensure you read the correct scale for your desired unit.
- Retract Rod: After measurement, gently retract the telescopic rod to its resting position to protect the mechanism and save space.

- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the height rod and headpiece regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Use mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or measurement markings.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the telescopic mechanism for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the headpiece moves smoothly and locks securely.
- Storage: When not in use, keep the height rod in a clean, dry environment. Ensure the headpiece is folded down and the rod is fully retracted to prevent accidental damage.
Troubleshooting
