English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 634 electronic
platform scale you have acquired a highly
accurate and 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 coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 634 platform scale is used primarily
in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and in-pa-
tient nursing facilities.
The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 634 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
You can use the pre-Tare function to
record the weights of, e.g. three types of
chair. This weight is automatically deduct-
ed in the weighing operation.
The high capacity of this scale and its fine
display graduations make it particularly
suitable for monitoring the weight of adi-
pose patients.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety
instructions.
• Follow the safety instructions in the in-
struction 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 vi-
olent shocks.
• Place the scale carefully in its position
for use.
• Avoid pulling hard on the connecting
cable to the display unit.
• Secure the scale so that it does not fall
over when stored in the upright position.
• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
• The cable between the weighing plat-
form and the case must be laid so that it
does not present a tripping hazard.
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see “Servicing” on page 24).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
