CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS INTENDED USE This Health o meter® Professional patient transfer scale is intended to be used in a professional medical environment by trained medical staff. This product was designed to weigh immobile patients who are safely positioned on the scale. Do not modify the product or use it for anything other than its intended purpose. To prevent patient/caregiver injury or damage to your scale, please follow the instructions in this user manual very carefully.
SPECIFICATIONS Scale Specifications Capacity and Resolution 550 lb x 1 lb (250 kg x 0.5 kg) Power Supply Rechargeable Battery Pack Environmental Operating temperatures: 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) Storage temperatures: 41°F to 95°F (5°C to 35°C) Maximum Humidity: 85% RH Physical Dimensions Length: 71” (1805 mm) Width: 27.5” (700 mm) Height: 1” (30 mm) Weight: 25 lb (11.4 kg) Display 1” x 3” (27.7 mm x 75 mm) LCD Definition of Symbols 40C Use only adapter supplied with this product.
WALL MOUNTING THE SCALE You can hang the Patient Transfer Scale on the wall either horizontally or vertically, using the hooks provided. To hang horizontally, your hooks will need to be positioned exactly 55” (1400mm) apart, center to center. To hang vertically, your hooks will need to be positioned 24” (610mm) apart, center to center. It is suggested to hang the scale near a power outlet to be able to easily attach the battery charger.
WALL MOUNTING THE SCALE (CONT.) Drill two ¼” (6.5mm) holes for each hook. 1/4” (6.5mm) 5/8” (15.8mm) Affix the hooks to the wall using the screws and wall plugs provided, and use the plastic covers to hide the screwheads. Your Patient Transfer Scale can now be hung on the wall.
RECHARGING THE SCALE We recommend fully charging the scale before first use. To fully charge the scale, please allow 8 hours. When the low battery indicator on the LCD display indicates that the scale needs recharging, move the scale to a location where it can be charged. You will find the charging port on the underside of the scale. The port for the charging cable is magnetic. Clip the end of the cable in place and plug the other end of the cable into a power outlet.
LCD DISPLAY Stable symbol Minus weight Zero symbol Low battery Stable symbol: To indicate the weight reading is stable. Minor weight: The weight is under zero. Zero symbol: The weight is at zero point. Low battery: Please recharge the scale.
SETTING UP THE SCALE Setting Auto Off Time/Disabling Auto Off The Auto Off time can be set for 30 minutes, 60 minutes or off. Follow this procedure to set the Auto Off time. until the display shows “P-X.XX” (X = version 1. With the scale powered off, press and hold number), 2. 3. 4. 5. while still pressing , press three times then release both buttons. “SETUP” will appear on the display followed by “AOFF”. Press . Press to scroll through the time options. 30m, 60m, or Off.
PREPARING TO USE THE SCALE The Patient Transfer Scale should be used in line with your facility’s current moving and handling policies. Essentially, it should be used in the same way you would use a transfer board, taking into account of course that you will need to pause for a few seconds during the transfer process, to allow the scale to capture the patient’s weight. The Patient Transfer Scale should only be used by trained professionals.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Switching the Scale on To switch the scale on, press the button. When the display shows 0.0 the scale is ready to use. Switching the Scale off Press and hold button for three seconds to power off the scale. Setting the Scale to Zero If for any reason the scale shows a reading other than 0.0 it can be reset to zero. Press the button once and the scale will return to 0.0.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED) Using the Hold Function The scale’s Hold function stabilizes the weight reading on the display, allowing you to take an accurate reading without fluctuations. With a patient on the scale, press . The display will show ‘HOLD’. NB: Alternatively, you can activate the Hold function before the patient is on the scale. When the scale has determined the weight of the patient, a stable weight reading will show.
EMC Guidance & Manufacturer’s Declaration Guidance and manufacturer’s declaration-electromagnetic emissions The MEDICAL SCALE PTS-1000KL is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The customer or the user of the MEDICAL SCALE should ensure that it is used in such an environment.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance The following pages provide instructions for maintenance, cleaning, calibrating, and troubleshooting of the scale. Maintenance operations other than those described in this manual should be performed by qualified service personnel. Caution: Before first use, or after long periods of non-use, check the scale for proper operation and function. If the scale does not operate correctly, refer to qualified service personnel. 1.
CALIBRATION This scale has been factory calibrated, and does not require calibration prior to use. If necessary the scale can be recalibrated following the steps below. Step 1: Deactivate gravity compensation Step 2: Proceed with calibration procedure Step 3: Reassemble the top board (aluminum panel) and mat Step 4: Calibrate zero Before starting step 1, the mat and top board must be removed. 1. Peel back the mat. 2. Unfasten all 8 screws and lift off the top plate as shown in the image below.
CALIBRATION (CONT.) 4. Press [Hold] to select , then press [Zero] to finish deactivating Gravity Compensation and go back to normal mode. Step 2: Proceed calibration procedure (60kg) 1. Power on the scale, press [TEST PIN] two times to enter Calibration mode. 2. While LCD shows “Zero count”, press [Zero] to show “Span count.” 3. Using a calibration plate, load 60 kg on the first set of load cells (LCD shows Span count), and wait for a stable reading.
CALIBRATION (CONT.) 4. Press [Zero] to finish calibrating the first set while the LCD shows “CAL-1”. 5. Repeat the same procedure to calibrate the second to fourth set of load cells. 6. After all four sets of calibration are done, LCD shows current weight. Power off the scale. Step 3: Reassemble the top board (aluminum panel) and mat 1. Place the aluminum top plate back onto the scale and replace and fasten all 8 screws. Caution: Do not overtighten the screws. 2.
CALIBRATION (CONT.) C. Turn the scale over and place the double-sided strips as shown on the image below. D. Peel back the film on the double-sided strips and then secure both ends of the mat into place. Step 4: Calibrate Zero 1. Power on, press [TEST PIN] one time to enter Engineering Setting mode. 2. While LCD shows “UNIT”, press [HOLD] to select ,, press [Zero] to enter CAL-0 setting and shows “no”. 3. Press [Hold] to select “yes”, then press [Zero] to confirm and shows “---”. 4.
