Optional Built-in VERASCALE

Thanks to such features as push-button operation and automatic zeroing, the optional built-
in VERASCALE® weighs residents with extraordinary ease and accuracy.

Operation

1. To turn on the scale, press the "ON/ZERO" pad. The display will perform a startup
sequence, showing the firmware version (V 1.0) and the current battery voltage (b 6.7),
then settle on some weight.
2. Place the belt onto the spreader bar. Make sure that no part of the belt or spreader-bar
is touching the floor or any object. Press the "ON/ZERO" pad to zero the display. The
display will show the word "ZERO" while the pad is pressed, then will count down from
-3- to -0-.
3. Place the belt around the patient per the Lift Manufacturer's instructions. Lift the patient
clear of all contact with the bed/chair. Read the patient's weight on the scale display. If
the display turned off before lifting the patient, simply press the "ON/ZERO" pad to turn
the scale on and read the weight (be careful to press the "ON/ZERO" pad only once to
turn the scale on, or the display may be inadvertently zeroed while the patient is in the
belt).
4. To change the display unit from lb to kg or from kg to lb, press and hold the "LB/KG"
pad for approximately 3 to 4 seconds. The display will show the "conv" message then
blank and the unit enunciator will change from LB to KG or from KG to LB. Release the
"LB/KG" pad after the unit enunciator changes.
5. To recall the last patient's weight, the scale must first be turned on. Press the center of
the "VANCARE" logo to the left of the "ON/ZERO" pad on the front of the scale. The
display will show the message "RECL" then alternately flash between the stored weight
and the "RECL" message.
6. If the battery symbol appears, replace the battery with a AA alkaline battery. The
battery access cover is on the bottom of the scale.

Calibration

1. Should calibration be necessary, all that is required is a 25 lb precision weight (do NOT
use bags of flour or other packaged goods for weights - contact the Lift Manufacturer to
purchase precision weights).
2. To enter the calibration mode, first press and hold the "ON/ZERO" pad. While holding
the "ON/ZERO" pad press and hold the "LB/KG" pad. After approximately 3 seconds the
message on the display will change from "ZERO" to CAL". Release both pads at this time
and the display will show the "C 0" message.
3. Make sure the sling is empty and press the "ON/ZERO" pad. The indicator will count
down from -8- to -0- while taking readings and store the zero point. When finished, the
indicator will show the "C25" message.
4. Place a 25 lb test weight in the sling and press the "ON/ZERO" pad once again. The
indicator will count down from -8- to -0- while taking readings and calculate and store
the span calibration. The indicator then automatically returns to the normal weighing
mode. Calibration is now complete.
