Tare Function
When using this scale, the weight of an object, such as the stretcher, can be subtracted from
the total weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function
automatically performs this subtraction. The 2000KL scales allow tare weight to be entered
manually by using the keypad, or automatically, as outlined in this section.
Tare
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG appears on the display.
3. Hook the stretcher onto the scale. The display will show a value for the stretcher's weight.
4. Press the TARE button. The scale will zero out, and the word "TARE" will appear at the
bottom center of the display, indicating that there is a tare value for the stretcher.
5. Remove the stretcher from the scale. Once the stretcher is removed from the scale, the
display will show a negative weight, equal to the weight of the stretcher.
6. Hook the stretcher onto the scale and place the patient onto the stretcher. The scale will
automatically deduct the tare weight of the stretcher from the gross weight of the patient and
object together.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. With no weight on the scale, the tare value will remain on the display until changed, cleared,
or until the scale is turned off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE button again. The word "TARE" will disappear from the
bottom of the display, and the tare value will be cleared from the display. The scale will resume
normal operation.
Pre (Limit 80.0 lb)
1. Make sure that there is no object on the stretcher and that the stretcher is unhooked from the
scale.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
3. Wait until the "0.0" LB or "0.0" KG and "ZERO" appear on the display.
4. Hold down the TARE button for 3 to 5 seconds. The word "TARE" will appear at the bottom
center of the display, and the user will be prompted to enter the tare value.
5. Use the keypad ► and ▲ buttons to enter the weight of the stretcher. Press the ENTER
button.
6. The value entered will show as a negative value on the display.
7. Hook the stretcher onto the scale and place the patient onto the stretcher. The scale will
automatically deduct the tare weight as entered, from the gross weight of the patient and the
object.
