Scale Base The scale base consists of: • Four plate electrodes that measures weight. The plate electrodes measure impedance which is how fast electrical ohms travel through the body. This scale base is only available in the D1000-3 (Full Body) and D1000-1 (Foot to Foot) models.
The shipping carton should contain the scale base, hand held display, and this manual. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately and keep the original packaging material for inspection by the carrier’s representative. It is also helpful in the claim process to take pictures of the condition of the packaging and damage.
