  • Page 19: Scale Setup

    SCALE SETUP Your apex® Digital Clinical Scale has been pre-configured at the factory and should not require changes for use in most applications. However, if the factory settings do not meet the requirements of your operation, the following describes the setup process for your scale. NOTE: The keys are not to be operated with pointed objects (pencils, pens, fingernails, etc.).
  • Page 20 CAP (SCALE CAPACITY) The display will show CAP and the current setting. If the value displayed is acceptable,   press the key. Otherwise, press the keys to select a new value and then press key to save it and proceed to the next prompt. This is the maximum allowed weight of the scale.
  • Page 21 nnOT (MOTION RANGE) The display will show nnOt and the current setting. If the value displayed is acceptable,   press the key. Otherwise, press the keys to select a new value, and then press key to save it and proceed to the next prompt. The motion range is the number of divisions of change permitted before indicating unstable (the STABLE annunciator turns off).
  • Page 22 If ALLYn (Welch Allyn) was selected for USB, the scale will automatically transmit data to a Welch Allyn CVSM Device when the weight on the scale stabilizes and the  (STABLE) annunciator turns on. (Requires device to have an activated license. Must purchase Detecto WACONNECT)
  • Page 23 nnth (MONTH) The display will show nntH and the current setting. If the value displayed is acceptable,   press the key. Otherwise, press the keys to select a new value, and then press key to save it and proceed to the next prompt. This is the current month setting of the real time clock.
  • Page 24 S HT (SENSOR HEIGHT) The display will show S Ht and the current setting. If the value displayed is acceptable,   press the key. Otherwise, press the keys to select a new value, and then press key to save it and proceed to the next prompt. This is the height in centimeters from the scale platform to the bottom of the sonar height sensor.
  • Page 25 (Gravity Compensation) Gravity compensation accounts for latitudes and elevations that are different from where the scale was calibrated. In order to calculate the value for this parameter, use the gravitational constant of the location where the scale was calibrated divided by the gravitational constant of where the scale will be installed: Gravitational Constant (Calibration location) ---------------------------------------------------------- = value...
  • Page 26: Data Formats

    DATA FORMAT Cont (Continuous Output) If Cont (continuous output) was selected, the scale will continuously transmit weight data in SMA format (see below). POLL (Weight-On-Demand) If POLL (Weight-On-Demand) was selected and the scale is connected to a host device (computer) for transmission of weight data to a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record) software program, it will transmit a single set of weight data each time the host device (computer) sends a SMA weight request “W”...
