Weighing The Patient - Invacare Low Profile RPL450-2 Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

Weighing the Patient

The weight capacity is limited to the lowest rated capacity of any one of the compo-
nents in use (e.g. Patient Lift, Sling or Scale). The patient's weight MUST not
exceed the lowest rated capacity of any component.
1. Attach sling straps to the swivel bar. Refer to Attaching a Sling on page 27.
NOTE: For improved accuracy on the 450 and 600 Reliant lifts, attach all sling straps to the center
hooks on both sides of the swivel bar. However, patient comfort may require a different
configuration of sling straps.
2. Press the ON/OFF key.
DO NOT operate key strokes with pointed objects (e.g. pencils, pens, fingernails,
etc.) Otherwise damage to the key pad will result.
NOTE: The display will indicate the last weight that was measured. The word ʺLOCKʺ will be
seen in the display box.
NOTE: The ZERO key is pressed in order to avoid capturing the weight of the sling and the
hardware. If the ZERO key is not pressed the weight of the sling and the weight of the hardware
will be included in the weight displayed. NOT ZEROING OUT WILL GIVE A FALSE
READING OF THE USERʹS TRUE WEIGHT.
3. Press the ZERO key. When the ZERO key is pushed the following will happen:
A. The scale will reset to zero and the word ʺZEROʺ will appear in the display.
B. The lock function will then be turned off and the word ʺLOCKʺ will disappear
from the display.
NOTE: The scale is now active and continually updating the weight display.
4. Place the patient in the sling. For patient placement instructions refer to Operating the
Patient Lift on page 22.
5. Activate the lift mechanism to raise the patient until they are completely supported by
the lift. For patient lifting instructions, refer to Lifting the Patient on page 26.
6. Note the weight display.
7. When the weight display becomes stable press the LOCK button to lock the weight
display. This will be indicated by the word ʺLOCKʺ appearing in the display window.
NOTE: Should it be necessary to unlock the weight while the patient is still supported by the lift,
the UNLOCK button may be pressed. The weight will unlock and the word ʺLOCKʺ will disappear
from the display window. The weight value will then be updated. Once the weight becomes stable
the weight can be locked again by pressing the LOCK button.
