2. Congratulations! By purchasing the seca 952 electronic chair 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 countries of the world, is always setting new standards with its innovative developments for weighing and measuring. In accordance with national regulations, the seca 952 wheelchair scale with standing aid is used primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and in-patient nursing facilities. The weight display can be switched between kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lb) and stones (st). Weight is determined within a few seconds.

The seca 952 can be moved on castors, and its low power consumption means that it can be used on a mobile basis with batteries for long periods. seca 952 chair scales are made for people who are not especially steady on their feet. To give you a safe feeling while weighing, the chair scale has a solid tubular frame and a firmly bolted seat. The freerunning casters make the scale very easy to move. The wheel-locking lever, together with the swiveling armrests and foot supports, makes it easier to sit in safety. 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.

3. Safety Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instructions.

Warnings • Never use the seca 952 chair scale for transport purposes. Do not use seca 952 chair scale to transport people or objects. If you transport people or objects using the chair scale, there is an acute risk of injury. • Never place the seca 952 chair scale on sloping surfaces. The brakes on the casters could be released. • Prevent the scale from rolling away accidentally. Use the wheel brake when the patient is sitting down or getting up

and assist people who are unsteady on their feet.

• Battery holder containing 6 mignon-type AA 1.5 V batteries • 1 set of operating instructions

Power supply The scale is powered exclusively by batteries. – Open the battery compartment in the base of the display housing. – Connect the cable to the holder and batteries. – Place the holder in the battery compartment. – Close the lid of the battery compartment again.

The LC display has a low power consumption – 4000 weighing operations can be performed with one set of batteries.

Automatic switch-off/economy mode The scale switches off automatically after approx. 3 minutes if it has no load on it. If the tare or hold functions are activated, the scale switches off after approx. 2 minutes. If the scale has a load of at least 2 kg on it, it does not switch off for approx. 2 minutes.
