English 1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 685 multifunctio-
nal scales you have acquired a highly ac-
curate 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 685 multifunctional scales is
used primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surge-
ries 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 folding seat in-
tegrated into the robust handrail makes
the seca 685 suitable not only for weigh-
ing patients seated in a wheelchair but
also for weighing people who easily lose
their balance.
The seca 685 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.
The seca 685 is designed to measure
weight conventionally but can also deter-
mine body mass index. A membrane key-
board allows body size to be entered for
obtaining the body mass index that corre-
sponds with weight.
Using the Pre-Tare function, you can store
the weight of a wheelchair. This weight is
automatically deducted in the weighing
operation.
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 685 can be moved on castors.
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
violent shocks.
• After transporting the scales, place the
scales carefully back in the position for
use.
• 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 and re-calibrated
on a regular basis (see “Servicing/recal-
ibration” on page 43).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
