1. Congratulations! English

By purchasing the seca 899 electronic personal 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 899 electronic personal scale is used primarily in hospitals, doctors’ surgeries and mobile services. The scales are a Class I medical product, and have been

calibrated in accordance with the precision class III. In addition to the conventional determination of weight, the seca 899 also has a function for determining body mass index. For this purpose, height is entered on the keypad and the body mass index associated with the weight value is output. 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. Its low power consumption means that with a set of batteries, the seca 899 can be used on a mobile basis for long periods.

2.

GB 19

Fitting the wall bracket The display part is intended for mounting on the wall. Use the mounting material supplied to do so. – Screw the wall bracket to the wall as shown. Be aware that you have a length of 2 m of cable between the scale and the display part. The cable may not contact the weighing platform during weighing, as this might falsify the result. – Push the display onto the wall bracket.

– If you want to change the location of the scale, take the display out of the wall bracket and push it into the bracket on the weighing platform to transport it.

Power supply The scale is generally powered by batteries. The LC display has a low power consumption – approx. 10.000 weighing operations can be performed with one set of batteries. When or bAtt appear in the display, you should change the batteries. You require 6 AA-type 1.5 V batteries. – Carefully turn over the scale so that the base of the scale is accessible. – Open the battery compartment lid and insert the batteries supplied according to the polarity shown on the battery compartment. Check that the polarity is correct! – Close the cover. – Then turn the scale back up the right way. Note: the scale is prepared for use with a seca mains unit which is available as an accessory.

Connection for mains unit

Connecting the connecting cable to the weighing platform The connecting cable of the display part is used to transmit digital data which are considerably less sensitive to interference than the otherwise conventional small analog measuring signals. Ageing and wear on the cable and on the plug contacts thus have no effect on the accuracy of the scale. To make the connection, proceed as outlined below: – Connect the cable of the display case to the socket under the carrying handle. – Then place the scale upright again. The cable may not contact the weighing platform during weighing, as this might falsify the result.

GB 21

Setting up and aligning the scale The screwed feet can be used to level off any slight unevenness in the floor. – Place the scale on a level surface. – Align the scale by screwing the foot screws. The air bubble in the spirit level must be right in the centre of the circle. – Ensure that only the feet of the scale are in contact with the floor. The scale may not be in contact at any other point. Important! The alignment of the base of the scale must be checked and corrected if necessary every time the location of the scale is changed.

GB 23

Automatic switch-off/economy mode The scale automatically detects whether it is being operated on rechargeable/nonchargeable batteries or whether it is connected to the mains. – Operation on rechargeable/non-chargeable batteries: automatic shut-down after 30 seconds. – With mains operation: shut-down only via keypad.

Taring weight display (TARE) The tare function is very useful, for example for determining the weight of a child, animal or other object placed on the scale in addition to yourself. Proceed as follows: – Press the Start key with no load on the scale. – First stand on the scales yourself without the additional weight and activate the Tare function by pressing the tare key. The display is reset to zero, 0.0 flashes in the display until weight is detected to be stable. Only then is the Tare function fully activated. The note “NET” appears. – Now take the additional load onto the scale. You can leave the scale to do so, in which case ---- appears. The scale determines the weight of the additional load. You can now perform as many weighing operations as you like. – Press the key again to deactivate the Tare function; the scale is then back in normal weighing mode and the tare value has been erased. – The tare value is likewise erased by the scale being switched off.

Store weight value (HOLD) You can also continue displaying the weight determined once the load has been removed. This makes it possible to look after a patient first, before having to note the weight: – Press the hold key whilst the load is on the scale. “HOLD” appears in the digital display. The value is stored until the scale switches off automatically (operation on batteries). The triangle with the exclamation mark indicates that this frozen display is an additional facility which is not subject to calibration.

– The HOLD function can be switched off by pressing the hold key again. 0.0 appears in the display if the scale has no load on it, otherwise the current weight. The “HOLD” display vanishes. Note: The HOLD function can also be used if the TARE function has been executed beforehand.

Body Mass Index (BMI) Body Mass Index puts height and weight in relationship to one another, providing more accurate information than ideal Broca weight, for example. A tolerance range is given which is considered ideal for health. – Press the Start key with no load on the scale. se(A, 8.8.8.8.8. and 0.0 appear consecutively in the display. The scale is then automatically set to zero and ready for operation. – Press the bmi key. On the display, you will see the last height entered. – You can use the arrow keys to adjust the value in increments according to the graduations displayed. – Once the correct value is set, press the bmi key again. The BMI function is now activated. – Step on the scale and keep still. – Read off the BMI on the digital display and compare it with the categories on page 26. – To return to normal weighing mode, press the bmi key. – To switch off the scale, press the Start key again.

Model 899

GB 25

Evaluating Body Mass Index for adults: Compare the value determined with the categories quoted below which correspond to those used by WHO, 2000. • BMI below 18.5: Warning, this patient weighs too little. There could be a tendency to anorexia. An increase in weight is recommended to improve well-being and performance. If in doubt, consult a specialist. • BMI between 18.5 and 24.9: The patient is of a normal weight. He can stay as he his. • BMI between 25 and 30 (pre-obese): The patient is slightly to moderately overweight. He should cut his weight if he is already ill (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, gout, fat metabolism disorders). • BMI over 30: Weight reduction is essential. Metabolism, cardiovascular system and bones are all under strain. A consistent diet, plenty of movement and behavioural training are all recommended. If in doubt, consult a specialist.

5. Cleaning Clean the rubber surface and the housing as required using a domestic cleaning agent or commercially-available disinfectant. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Under no circumstances use abrasive or acid cleaners, white spirit, benzene or the like for cleaning. Such substances can damage the high-quality surfaces.

6. What do I do if… … no weight display comes on? – Is the scale switched on? – Check the batteries. – Is the plug contact for connecting the display to the scale correctly connected? – Is the plug contact of the mains unit properly connected to the scale? … 0.0 does not appear before weighing? – Switch off the scale with the Start key and start the scale again – there must not be any load on the scale – and only its feet should be in contact with the floor. … 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.
