On-Line Peripherals
PLATFORM
Platform is giving low or high readings
• Re-calibrate (Defaults/Calibration) being sure to follow the instructions on the screen exactly.
• Use a person who has a known weight between 68 and 86 kg or 150 and 189 lbs.
• Make sure the person does not step on the scale before it is zeroed. Stepping on the scale
causes the platform calibration to fail.
• Make sure the person stands very still. Any movement from side to side will cause the
calibration to fail.
• Go to a test and perform an actual body weight with the same person that was used to calibrate
the scale. The weight should be within 0.5 kg / 1.1 lbs.
• If the weight is not within 0.5 kg / 1.1 lbs, re-calibrate and re-measure the body weight.
CALIPERS
Online calipers are giving inaccurate readings
• Re-calibrate as instructed on the screen. (Defaults/Calibration).
• Go into a 3-site Skinfold test.
• Zero the calipers.
• Place the 25.4mm calibration dowel in the jaws of the calipers lengthwise.
• Press the switch on the calipers.
• The reading on the screen should be within 24.5mm and 26.0mm. Repeat this three times and
note each reading.
