Manually determining hold value
(hold)
The device is equipped with an autohold function. During the measuring pro-
cedure, the weight is automatically frozen and the message “HOLD” is dis-
played in the window. It is possible that you will have to determine the hold
value manually, e.g. if the patient removes an item of clothing after the initial
weighing without stepping off the scale. In this case, proceed as outlined
below.
1. Press the
hold button.
The display flashes until a stable weight is measured. The weight is then
continuously displayed. The symbol is displayed (verified models
only).
2. Read off the measured result.
NOTE:
When the patient steps off the device, the hold value will continue to
be displayed. This enables you to attend to the patient before record-
ing the weight. To delete the hold value, press the
hold button.
Taring off additional weight (tare) Using the tare function, you can prevent additional weight (e.g. a towel or a
mat on the weighing platform) from influencing the weighing result.
1. Switch on the device.
2. Place the additional weight on the device.
3. Press the
tare button.
The message “NET” appears on the display.
4. Ask the patient to position themselves on the device.
5. Read off the measured result.
The additional weight is deducted automatically.
6. To deactivate the
tare function, press the tare button again.
The “NET” message is no longer displayed.
NOTE:
The maximum weight which can be displayed is reduced by the
weight of the objects already placed on the scale.
Permanently storing additional
weight
(pre-tare)
Using the pre-tare function, you can permanently save an additional weight
and automatically subtract this from a measurement result. For example, you
can save a standard figure for clothing and then always deduct this if a patient
is weighed fully-clothed. The pre-tare value is retained even after the device
has been switched off.
1. Ensure that the device has no load.
2. Switch on the device.
3. Press the
pre-tare button.
The numerical keypad appears.
The last additional weight saved is displayed.
4. Enter a different pre-tare value if desired.
5. Press the Enter key on the numerical keypad.
The entry is accepted.
The message “PT” appears in the display.
The value entered is saved and automatically subtracted from the
measurement result during the next weighing procedure.
The numerical keypad is no longer displayed.
