English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 677 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 677 electronic platform scale is used
primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries
and in-patient nursing facilities. The scales
are a Class I medical product, and have
been calibrated in accordance with the
precision class III.
The seca 677 has two weighing ranges
which can be selected. Weighing range 1
has a reduced maximum capacity but
greater display resolution, whilst weighing
range 2 allows you to use the maximum
load capacity of the scale. Weight is deter-
mined within a few seconds.
Using the Pre-Tare function, you can store
the weight of a wheelchair. This weight is
automatically deducted in the weighing
operation.
The two fold-away ramps allow the wheel-
chair-user to get on and off in comfort.
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.
The seca 677 can be moved on castors.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instruc-
tions.
• 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.
• Place the scale carefully in its position
for use.
• Secure the scale so that it does not fall
over when stored in the upright posi-
tion.
• When moving the scale in its upright
position, take care that it does not fall
over.
• Check that the screwed connection of
the handrail is firmly tightened before
releasing the scale for use by patients.
• Be aware of tripping and falling hazards
for patients with disabilities and wheel-
chair-users and do your best to prevent
them.
• Be sure to use only the seca mains unit
supplied. Before plugging the mains
unit into a socket, check that the mains
voltage indicated on the mains unit
matches local mains voltage.
• 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.
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see “Servicing/recalibration” on
page 35).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
