4 Chair Scale Technical and Operating Instructions
2.5 AC Power Connections
The Digital Chair Scale has a 120 VAC adaptor or 230 VAC adaptor to use when power is readily available. The
AC power adaptor plugs into the back of the indicator as shown in Figure 2-4.
Figure 2-4. LED Light Location
The AC adaptor, when not in use, plugs into the back housing of the indicator. Figure 2-4 shows that location.
The Digital Chair Scale is capable of running its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no additional
power source is available. Battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the
LO Bat
indicator is showing on the
display, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate
weighing.
Battery Charging
When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode. The
LED indicator light on the back of the scale housing will illuminate red during the charging period, and change
over to green when the battery becomes fully charged.
2.6 Getting Ready to Weigh a Patient
Once the scale is properly unpacked and set up, and prior to weighing a patient, step on the scale to check the
scale that all functions are working correctly. The scale is calibrated from the factory so simply turn on the scale
and step on the scale to get a weight reading. Press the
REWEIGH
key again to verify that weight.
