CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS

INTENDED USE

This Health o meter® Professional platform scale is intended to be used in a professional medical environment by trained medical staff. This product was designed to weigh patients who are safely positioned and standing on the platform. If a height rod is attached to the scale, the intended use of the height rod is to measure patient height. 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.

  • Do not exceed the weight capacity specified for this scale.
  • For accurate weighing, this scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
  • For accurate weighing, verify before each use the proper operation according to the procedure described in this manual.
  • Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive materials.
  • If the scale becomes damaged, it should not be operated until properly serviced.
  • Do not wheel or pull the scale down stairs, doing so may damage internal parts.
  • Ensure that the AC adapter and scale do not come in contact with liquids, excessive temperature, or excessive humidity.

Patient/caregiver safety

  • This scale is designed for static weighing of patients only. No scale should be used for patient transfer.
  • To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire weighing event. Caregivers should ensure that the patient is stable and provide support as needed when getting onto and off of the scale.
  • Patient should wear socks or other form of lightweight foot covering during weighing event.

When operating the scale with the AC adapter:

  • Operate this scale exclusively with the AC adapter that is provided (ADPT50). Use of an unspecified adapter will void the warranty, and can pose a serious safety hazard.
  • Prior to using this scale, inspect the AC adapter cord for cracking / fraying, or for broken / bent plug prongs.
  • Prior to using this scale, ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet with the rated voltage appropriate for operation.
  • Ensure that the AC adapter outlet is wired to a circuit breaker or other protected power source.
  • Unplug the AC adapter, and carefully store both the adapter and adapter cord before moving the scale.
  • Operating this scale at voltages and frequencies other than specified can damage the equipment and will void the warranty.

When operating the scale with batteries:

  • If the scale’s display indicates that the batteries are low replace the batteries or switch to the AC adapter as soon as possible.
  • When replacing / inserting batteries, be sure to use all new batteries.

    597KL/597KG/599KL/599KG ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

  5. After plugging in the load cell cable, slide the section of plastic tubing surrounding the cable upwards.

  6. Tuck the cable and tubing into the protective guide in the underside of the scale platform. This holds the cable in place and protects it from being damaged.

  7. Set the base/pillar assembly upright. Obtain the display head module. Plug the load cell cable into the “SCALE” jack in the back of  the display module.

  8. Place the display module on top of the pillar and align the tab on the front of the pillar with the slot at the bottom of the display module.
    597KL/597KG/599KL/599KG ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

  9. Remove the screw from the back of the display module, place the module on top of the pillar and use a Phillips head screw driver to tighten the module to the pillar with the screw that was previously removed.

  10. Using a Phillips head screwdriver, remove the 2 screws at the rear bottom of the pillar.
    Obtain the AC adapter bracket from the carton and attach it to the pillar using the 2 screws previously removed. See “Powering the Scale” on page 13 to insert batteries or power adapter. Then the scale is ready for use.

  2. The scale will prompt you to enter the patient’s height. Use the arrow (scroll) keys to enter the correct height. (If using a 597KL/597KG scale, see Height Measuring Instructions on the following page.) Press ENTER. Display will read the patient’s BMI.

597KL/597KG HEIGHT MEASUREMENT INSTRUCTIONS

WARNINGS: Use caution when sliding height rod up and down. The rod should move smoothly, do not move the rod in a jerking motion. Fold headpiece down when not in use.

Note: A patient needs to be a minimum of 23-5/8” (600mm) in height for the height to be accurately measured.

  1. With the headpiece folded down, slide the headpiece up or down to the estimated height of the patient. Then raise the headpiece into its horizontal position.
    To lower height rod below 46 3/8”, push the tab at the top of the height rod and gently lower the headpiece.

  2. Position the patient facing the display head.
    Ensure that the patient’s posture is upright, and that the patient’s head is straight and level. Slide the headpiece down until it rests on the patient’s head.

  3. Determine the patient’s height by reading the value on the measuring strip nearest to the line on the indicator, as shown on the next page.

CALIBRATION

This scale has been factory calibrated, and does not require calibration prior to use. If required, the scale can be calibrated following the procedure below.

Note: Only weights certified and traceable to national standards are to be used for calibration procedures.

KL Model Calibration

KL model scales can be calibrated in pounds or kilograms. The default calibration weight unit is pounds. If you prefer to calibrate in kilograms you must first follow this procedure to change the calibration weight unit.

Caution: Please make sure you carefully and precisely follow the directions below as you will be in the PROGRAM MODE of your scale. Any modification outside of what is listed below may greatly affect the functionality of your scale.

To Change the Calibration Weight Mode to KG

  1. Press the ON/OFF button to power on the scale. As soon as you turn on the scale, press the ZERO button once, the UNIT* button twice, and then the ZERO button once again. The scale will display “CAL”.
  2. Press the once and “PROG” will show on the display.
  3. Press the ENTER button and OP1-0 or OP1-1 will be displayed.
  4. Press the UNITS button to toggle between OP1-0 and OP1-1. Select OP1-0 to set your calibration weight in pounds. Select OP1-1 to set your calibration weight to kilograms.
  5. After making your selection, press the until display reads “DONE”
  6. Press the ENTER button, the scale will read “START”, followed by a version code and then return to zero.
  7. Turn the scale off. Then begin the calibration procedure below.
    *Previous version keypad may say KG/LB instead of UNIT

KG Model Calibration

KG models can only be calibrated in kilograms. Follow the calibration procedure below.

Calibration Procedure for KL and KG Models
The calibration weight must be no less than 60 lb (28 kg) and no more than 300 lb /150 kg. For optimum accuracy, Health o meter Professional Scales recommends calibrating at 300 lb / 150 kg.
