11. MAINTENANCE/RECALIBRATION (515)
11.1 Information on maintenance and recalibration
We recommend having your device maintained prior to recalibration.
The device’s measurement technology for bioelectric impedance
analysis (BIA) must be checked every two years.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect measurements may be taken as the result of
improper maintenance
−Please only have maintenance and repairs performed by
an authorized service partner.
−You can find service partners in your area at
www.seca.com or by sending an e-mail to
[email protected].
Have an authorized technician perform a recalibration according to
national standards and rules. The year of the first recalibration can be
found behind the CE symbol on the type plate via the number of the
stated office 0109 (Hessian Eichdirektion [Hessian calibration agency])
and 0123 (TÜV Süd Product Service).
Recalibration is necessary where one or more calibration seals are
damaged or the contents of the calibration counter no longer match the
number on the valid calibration counter sticker.
11.2 Checking the content of the calibration counter
The scale has been calibrated. Calibrations may only be performed by
authorized agencies. To guarantee this, the scale is equipped with a
calibration counter that records each change in calibration-related data.
If you want to check whether the scale has been correctly calibrated, follow
the instructions below:
1. Switch on the scale.
2. Press the change menu button.
3. Press the settings button.
The user dialog window appears.
The calibration counter reading (here: 6) is displayed.
4. Compare the content of the calibration counter issued with the
number given on the calibration counter sticker.
Both numbers have to match for the calibration to be valid. If the sticker
and the calibration counter do not match, the scale has to be recalibrated.
Please contact your service partner or seca service.
Once the scale has been recalibrated, a new, updated calibration
counter sticker is used to identify the calibration counter reader. This
sticker is attached with an additional seal issued by the person
authorized to perform the recalibration. The calibration counter sticker
can be ordered from seca.
