MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL CARE
- Repairs and Servicing should only be carried out by authorised service agents.
- There are no user serviceable parts in the weighing scale itself.
- The mains power adaptor contains 2 fuses, 1 internal that is not accessible and 1 external user replaceable fuse. The fuse value is T400mA and no other fuse value should be used.
- When the adaptor is plugged in to the mains supply a Green LED should illuminate to indicate that the adaptor is functioning correctly. If the LED does not illuminate then the external fuse should be checked by competent personnel.
- There are no other user serviceable parts inside the mains adaptor.
- The weight indicator contains an internal rechargeable battery pack; this should only be replaced by authorised service agents. Under normal operating conditions the batteries should last for several years.
- We would recommend using alcohol based wipes or similar when cleaning the scales.
- Please do not use large amounts of water when cleaning the scales as this will cause damage to the scales electronics, you should also refrain from using corrosive liquids or high pressure washers.
- Always disconnect the scales from the mains power supply before cleaning.
BASIC FUNCTIONS
1.1 – SWITCHING ON THE SCALE
PRESS THE ON BUTTON FIRMLY
THE SCALE WILL FIRST TEST ALL OF THE DISPLAY SEGMENTS
THE SCALE WILL NOW SHOW IT’S CURRENT SOFTWARE VERSION No
THE SCALE WILL NOW GO INTO WEIGHING MODE AND SHOULD SHOW 0.0kg ON THE DISPLAY
1.2 – SWITCHING OFF THE SCALE
PRESS THE OFF BUTTON
THE SCALE WILL POWER DOWN
1.3 – SETTING THE SCALE TO ZERO
IF FOR SOME REASON THE SCALE SHOWS A READING OTHER THAN 0.0kg THEN IT CAN BE RESET TO ZERO (10% OF CAPACITY)
PRESS THE ZERO KEY ONCE
THE SCALE WILL RETURN TO 0.0kg
1.4 – UNIT SWITCHING
THE DEFAULT SETTING IS KG
PRESS THE UNIT KEY ONCE
THE SCALE SWITCHES TO STONES
PRESS THE UNIT KEY ONCE
THE SCALE SWITCHES TO POUNDS
PRESS THE UNIT KEY ONCE
THE SCALE NOW RETURNS TO KG
NOTE: UNIT SWITCHING IS NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE, WEIGHING IN STONES AND POUNDS FOR THE PURPOSES OF MONITORING, TREATMENT OR DIAGNOSES OF PATIENTS WAS MADE ILLEGAL ON THE 1ST JANUARY 2003. IF YOUR SCALE HAS THE GREEN M STICKER THEN ONLY KG WILL BE AVAILABLE
ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
2.1 – HOLD FUNCTION
PRESS THE HOLD BUTTON ONCE
THE PERSON SHOULD NOW GET ON TO THE SCALES
AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE SCALE WILL LOCK ON THE PERSONS WEIGHT, THE PERSON CAN NOW STAND OFF THE SCALE AND THE WEIGHT WILL REMAIN
PRESS HOLD AGAIN TO UNLOCK THE WEIGHT AND RETURN TO 0.0kg
2.2 – SLOW FUNCTION
AT 0.0kg PRESS THE SLOW BUTTON
PRESS THE SLOW BUTTON A SECOND TIME TO DISABLE THE FUNCTION
THIS FUNCTION IS SIMILAR TO THE HOLD FUNCTION BUT INSTEAD OF HOLDING THE WEIGHT THE WEIGHT DISPLAY IS SLOWED DOWN CONSIDERABLY
NCTION CAN BE VERY USEFUL WHEN WEIGHING DISABLED PATIENTS, CHILDREN OR BABIES
2.3 – BMI (BODY MASS INDEX) FUNCTION
FOR THIS EXAMPLE WE WILL ASSUME WE HAVE A PERSON WEIGHING 100kg AND 180.0cm TALL
PLACE THE PERSON ON THE SCALE
PRESS THE BMI BUTTON ONCE
THE SCALE WILL NOW GO INTO HEIGHT ENTRY MODE AND THE FIRST DIGIT WILL FLASH – THE PERSON BEING WEIGHED CAN STEP OFF THE SCALE AT THIS POINT
THE ARROW KEYS WILL ADJUST THE FLASHING FIGURE UP OR DOWN AND THE BMI KEY WILL MOVE TO THE NEXT DIGIT
USING THE UP/DOWN ARROWS AND THE BMI BUTTON SET THE HEIGHT IN CM TO 180.0 AS SHOWN ON THE LEFT
WHEN FINISHED PRESS THE UNIT BUTTON AND THE PERSONS BMI FIGURE WILL BE SHOWN ON THE DISPLAY AS BELOW
PRESS THE BMI BUTTON ONCE TO RETURN
TO NORMAL WEIGHING MODE
2.4 PRINT FUNCTION
AN OPTIONAL EXTERNAL PRINTER IS AVAILABLE FOR ALL MODELS, WHEN FITTED THE PATIENTS WEIGHT, HEIGHT, AND BMI RESULT CAN BE PRINTED ON TO A PAPER ROLL.
ONCE THE PERSON HAS BEEN WEIGHED AND THERE BMI CALCULATED, SIMPLY PRESS THE PRINT KEY TO PRODUCE THE FOLLOWING TICKET

ERROR MESSAGES
 |
The internal battery is low on charge, charge the scale |
 |
Indicates that the signal from the load cell/s is too low *1 |
 |
Indicates that the signal from the load cell/s is too high *1 |
 |
Indicates that there is a fault with the scales software * |
 At top of LCD Display |
Indicates that the signal from the load cell/s is above the Zero Range *2 |
| At bottom of LCD Display |
Indicates that the signal from the load cell/s is below the Zero Range *2 |
*1 – These errors are normally caused by a serious fault on the scales such as a faulty load cell or wiring. You should contact our Service Department.
*2 – These errors are usually less serious and can be rectified by recalibration, however they can indicate an underlying problem with the scales. Zero Range is set to 10% of Scale Capacity E.g. Capacity 200.0kg = Zero Range +/-20.0kg
