seca 874 Instruction manual and guarantee

1. Congratulations English

In the seca 874 electronic personal scale you have acquired a highly-accurate and at the same time sturdy piece of equipment. seca has been putting its experience at the service of health for over 150 years, and as market leader in many countries of the world, is always setting new standards with its innovative weighing and measuring developments. The seca 874 electronic personal scale is

designed for private use and also for use in public institutions. Weight display can be switched between kilogrammes (kg) and pounds (lbs). Weight is determined within a few seconds. A special feature of the seca 874 scale is the “mother-and-baby function”. This enables the weight of babies and small children to be determined quite easily - in their mothers’ arms. The maximum load is 200 kg/440 lbs.

2. Safety Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instructions. • Follow the instructions in the instruc• Do not step on the display as this could tions for use. damage it. Step only on the rubberized area. • Use only the type of battery stated (see „Changing the batteries“ on page 18). • Have repairs carried out only by authorised persons. • Do not drop the scale or subject it to violent shocks.

3. Before you start … Setting up the scale The scale is fully assembled when dispatched. – Remove the packaging and place the scale on a firm, level surface.

How to weigh properly – Press the start key with no load on the scale. SE(A, 8.8.8.8.8. and 0.00 appear consecutively in the display. The scale is then automatically set to zero and ready for use. – If necessary, switch the weight display (see page 15). – Ask the patient to mount the scale. Once on the scale, the patient should stand still. The HOLD function is activated automatically at weights of over 1.5 kg or 3.3 lbs. The display flashes until a stable weight has been measured. The display is then frozen until the next weighing operation. HOLD appears in the display. – Read off the weighing result on the digital display. – If a load greater than 200 kg or 440 lbs is placed on the scale, St0P appears in the display. – To switch off the scale, press the start key again.

2 in 1 function The 2 in 1 function enables the body weight of babies and small children to be determined. The child is held in the arms of an adult. Proceed as follows. – Press the start key with no load on the scale. – Wait until the display 0.00 appears. kg – Stand on the scale without the child. You can read off the weighing result on the digital display. – Now press the 2 in 1 key to activate the 2 in 1 key function. The scale stores the weight of the adult and the display returns to zero. 0.00 and the display NET appear in the display. – Now take the child onto the scale. You can leave the scale to do this, in which case ----- appears in the display.

The scale determines the weight of the child. Once the value is stable for about 3 seconds, the display is retained. This avoids the display jumping about as a result of the child’s movements. HOLD and NET appear in the display. If several children are to be weighed consecutively, it is important that it is always the same adult who performs the measurement and that this person’s weight does not change (e.g. due to a piece of clothing being removed).

6. What do I do if ... ... no weight is displayed when there is a load on the scale? – Is the scale switched on? – Is the ON-OFF switch in position “ON”? – Check the batteries. ... the scale keeps switching on, while being transported, for example? – The start key has been pressed. Due to the very low energy requirement of the scale, the service life of the batteries will not be impaired. For longer journeys, you can push the ON-OFF switch in position "OFF" if necessary. ... the scale displays a weight after being transported or after new batteries have been put in? – Press the Start key again. The scale will then work normally again. ... 0.00 does not appear before weighing? – Press the Start key again - there should not be any load on the scale. ... ----- appears instead of 0.00 before weighing? – Press the Start key again - there should not be any load on the scale. … one segment is illuminated constantly or not at all? – The relevant segment has a fault. Inform Servicing. … the display shows ? – Battery voltage is running low. Change the batteries in the next few days. … batt appears in the display? – Batteries are empty. Put in new batteries. … St0p appears in the display? – Maximum load has been exceeded. … the display flashes? – Take the load off the scale and start the scale again. Wait until 0.00 appears and then weigh again. ... the display Er and a number appear? – Start the scale again after it switches off automatically. The scale will then work normally again. If this is not the case, disconnect the power supply by briefly switching off the scale at the ON-OFF switch. If this measure is equally unsuccessful, inform the Service department.
