General Information Scale Description time an operation changes the value of the calibration or of the gravity code, the The Maxi Move scale makes it possible to corresponding counter automatically weigh patients during a transfer. The load cell is incremented, without any possibility of being attached to the jib.
General Information Non-Verified scale Each Maxi Move KMC*U* is equipped with a non-verified scale. Although the load cell is identical to a verified scale, the verification process is less complex. These scales don’t need to be certified by an authorized notified body and don’t use the software seal system as do verified scales.
Service Procedures SP1-Counter Verification (Verified Scale Only) Using the handset, enter the “Gravity Code” menu and look for the calibration counter value and the gravity counter value.
