1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 634 electronic
platform scale you have acquired a highly
accurate and sturdy piece of equipment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 634 platform scale is used primarily
in hospitals, doctors' surgeries and in-pa-
tient nursing facilities.
The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instruc-
tions.
• Follow the safety instructions in the in-
struction manual.
• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to vi-
olent shocks.
• Place the scale carefully in its position
for use.

In addition to the conventional determina-
tion of weight, the seca 634 also has a
function for determining body mass index.
For this purpose, height is entered on the
keypad and the body mass index associ-
ated with the weight value is output.
You can use the pre-Tare function to
record the weights of, e.g. three types of
chair. This weight is automatically deduct-
ed in the weighing operation.
The high capacity of this scale and its fine
display graduations make it particularly
suitable for monitoring the weight of adi-
pose patients.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.

• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
• The cable between the weighing plat-
form and the case must be laid so that it
does not present a tripping hazard.
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see "Servicing" on page 24).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
