Seca 856 Digital Organ and Diaper Scale w/ Stainless Steel Cover

Congratulations

The seca 856 organ and diaper scale you have acquired is a highly-accurate yet simultaneously sturdy piece of equipment. seca has been putting its experience at the service of health for over 150 years now, and as market leader in many countries of the world, is always setting new standards with its innovative developments for weighing and measuring. In accordance with national regulations, the seca 856 organ and diaper scale is used primarily in hospitals, general practice and in-patient care facilities. Weight is determined within a few seconds.The Pre-Tare function allows you to store the weight of a dish. This weight is deducted automatically during the weighing operation. In addition, the scale has a HOLD function to store the weight determined and a TARE function so that additional weights (for example a dish) are ignored for weighing. The scale is not sensitive to wet and can be disinfected by wiping. Its low power consumption means that with a set of batteries, the seca 856 can be used on a mobile basis for long periods.

Safety Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the

following safety instructions.

• Follow the safety instructions in the instruction manual.
• Keep the operating manual and the declaration of conformity contained therein in a safe place.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see “Power supply”
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis (see “Servicing”
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by authorised persons.

Before you start

Unpacking

• Remove the packaging and place the scale on a firm, level surface.

Power supply

The scale is powered exclusively by batteries. If or appear in the display, you should change the batteries. You need 4 1.5 V type AAA round-cell batteries.

• Unscrew the bolts which secure the lid of the battery compartment, and remove.
• Insert the new batteries in the battery compartment.

Check that polarity is correct

• Replace the lid of the battery compartment, and bolt this firmly in place.
• Turn the scale to the upright position.

Operation

Controls and displays

• press briefly ➔ activate/deactivate pre-tare function hold down ➔ store the tare value
• press briefly ➔ activate/deactivate hold function hold down ➔ set display to zero, activate/deactivate tare function
• press briefly ➔ Switch scale on and off hold down ➔ switch between g and oz (variant-dependent)

Correct weighing

• Press the Start key with no load on the scale. appear consecutively in the display (or for the lb:oz setting:  The scale is then automatically set to zero and ready to use.
• If necessary, switch the weight display (see page 14).
• Place the item for weighing on the scale.
• Read the weighing result off the digital display.
• If a load greater than 5,000 g or 11 lbs is placed on the scale, appears in the display.
• To switch off the scale, press the Start key again.

Switching the weight display (variant-dependent)

The weight display can be switched between grammes (g) and ounzes (oz).

• Switch on the scale using the green Start key. Weight is initially displayed in the last setting selected.
• To switch the weight display between grammes and ounces, hold down the g/oz key for approx. 2 seconds.
• The g or lb:oz display lights up.

Automatic switch-off/economy mode

The scale switches off automatically after 30 seconds. When the scale is loaded or when the Hold function is activated, the scale switches off after 3 minutes.

Taring weight display (TARE)

The tare function is useful if an additional weight (for example a dish) is to be ignored in the weighing result. Proceed as follows:

• Activate the tare function whilst the additional weight is on the scale by keeping the Hold/Tare key depressed for some time.
• Wait until the display stops flashing and shows . You can now perform as many weighing operations as you like.
• Hold the key down again to deactivate the Tare function; the scale is then back in normal weighing mode and the tare value has been erased.
• The tare value is likewise erased by the scale being switched off.

Important! The maximum weight which can be displayed is reduced by the weight of the objects already placed on the scale.

Store weight value (HOLD)

It is possible to continue displaying the weight value determined after the load has been removed, before the weight value has been noted:

• Press the Hold/Tare key whilst the load is on the scale. “HOLD” appears in the digital display. The value remains saved in the display until the hold function is automatically switched off.
• The HOLD function can be switched off by pressing the Hold/Tare key again.  appears in the display if the scale has no load on it, otherwise the current weight. The “HOLD“ display vanishes.

Note:
The HOLD function can also be used if the TARE function has been executed beforehand.

Weighing with pre-tare function

If the pre-tare function is activated, a stored weight value is deducted from the currently measured weight. This function can be useful if the weight of a dish is not to be included in the display, for example.

• Press the Start key with no load on the scale. andappear consecutively in the display. The scale is then automatically set to zero and ready for operation.
• While the additional weight is on the scale, store the weight (e.g. of a dish) by keeping the Pretare key depressed for some time). The tare value remains stored even after the scale is switched off.
• Now put the item for weighing on the scale. The scale determines the weight.
• Briefly pressing the Pretare key subtracts the additional weight from the measuring result. You can now perform as many weighing operations as you like.
• To return to normal weighing mode, press the Pretare key.
• To switch off the scale, press the Start key again.

Cleaning

Clean the housing as required using a domestic cleaning agent or commercially- available disinfectant. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Under no circumstances use abrasive or acid cleaners, white spirit, benzene or the like for cleaning. Such substances can damage the high-quality surfaces.

• If you have just activated the Hold or Tare function, please wait until the scale has detected a steady weight value. The display will then stop flashing.

• If there has been no activation of a function beforehand, remove the load from the scale and wait until  is displayed, then weigh again.
  the display appears?

• The ambient temperature of the scale is too high or too low. Place the scale in an ambient temperature between +10 °C and +40 °C. Wait about 15 minutes for the scale to adapt to the ambient temperature and then weigh again.
  the display  and a number appear?

Switch off the scale with the Start key and start the scale again. The scale will then work normally again. If this is not the case, disconnect the power supply by briefly removing the batteries. If this measure is equally unsuccessful, inform the Service department.

The costs of transport in both directions will be borne by the customer should the equipment be located anywhere other than the customer’s premises. In the event of transport damage, claims under warranty can be honoured only if the complete original packaging was used for any transport and the scale secured and attached in that packaging just as it was when originally packed. All the packaging should therefore be retained. A claim under warranty will not be honoured if the equipment is opened by persons not expressly authorised by seca to do so.
