Intended Use Intended Use ® The Olympic Smart Scale Model 50/51 is intended for weighing infants and children up to 55 lb (25 kg). Description The Olympic Smart Scale Model 50/51 is a scale that quickly and safely weighs pediatric patients, from infants to toddlers. It features folding ends to easily accommodate the patient (see Figure 1.2).
Description Controls and Status Lights Figure 1.3 Controls and status lights Control Buttons (Display). Turn the scale display on or off. ON/OFF If operating on batteries, the scale automatically turns off after three minutes of inactivity. NOTE Cancels (tares out) the weight of any objects (e.g., blankets, toys) on the ZERO.
±200 g, the scale locks the last average on the display. This process occurs in just four to six seconds. To assure accuracy, Natus Medical determined the design parameters for calculating averaged weight by weighing active infants on a special platform using a strip chart recorder to measure the dynamic forces generated by the infant’s...

S e c t i o n Operation Explosion hazard. Do not use this device in the presence of flammables (e.g., oxygen, nitrous oxide, anesthetics). WARNING Read and be familiar with this instruction manual before using this device. Only use this device under the direct supervision of a licensed medical practitioner. CAUTION Connect this device directly to a properly grounded hospital-grade outlet.
Operating the Smart Scale Place the patient on the platform: For still patients, the weight automatically displays. Read and record the weight. For active patients, press to average the weight and AVERAGE/UNLOCK lock it on the display. Read and record the weight, then press to unlock the display.
Operating the Smart Scale Adjusting the Platform Ends To adjust the platform ends: While holding the platform end press the large red button labeled PUSH TO (see Figure 3.2), then gently lower the platform end to the full-down UNLATCH position. Lower one or both ends to accommodate the patient being weighed.
Operating the Smart Scale Weighing the Patient Always clean/disinfect the scale between patients. CAUTION Kilograms/Pounds-Ounces When the scale is first turned on, it shows the weight in the last-used units. To change the display weight, press . Kilograms display to 0.02 kg. KG/LB This scale has an option to permanently lock the measurement units to kilograms (see Locking Units to Kilograms (optional) on page 2-1).
Operating the Smart Scale Press to unlock the display. AVERAGE/UNLOCK Press to recalculate and display the patient’s weight. AVERAGE/UNLOCK Recalling the Last Locked Weight If the Smart Scale is turned off or loses power, press to display the last RECALL locked-in weight.

S e c t i o n Maintenance Electrical shock hazard when the enclosure is open. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet before cleaning this device. WARNING Only qualified technicians should perform maintenance procedures. Do not allow liquid to enter the enclosure as liquids may cause a shock hazard or CAUTION damage the internal wiring.
Charging the Battery Charging the Battery The Smart Scale has internal rechargeable batteries that automatically charge (CHARGING signal illuminates) whenever the scale is connected to a functioning electrical outlet. Connect this device directly to a properly grounded hospital-grade outlet. CAUTION Partially discharging and recharging the rechargeable batteries repeatedly over time will lead to premature battery failure.
Calibrating the Smart Scale Calibrating the Smart Scale As with any precision electronic instrument, the scale can drift out of calibration over time. Calibrate the Smart Scale before first use and every six months. Required Items: Calibration weights (part no. 56357) To calibrate the Smart Scale: Place the scale on a firm, level surface and protect it from moving air.

Repair Procedures Figure 6.2 Exposing the weighing platform Platform assembly Weighing platform Flat-head cap screws (x2) Socket-head cap screws (x2) Remove the weighing platform: Remove the two socket head cap screws and the two flat head cap screws (see Figure 6.2). Lift the weighing platform to expose the PCBs (see Figure 6.3).
Repair Procedures Reassembling the Smart Scale After performing a service procedure, reassemble the Smart Scale and verify that it operates correctly before use. Required Items: Allen wrench To reassemble to scale: Attach the weighing platform: When reinstalling the weighing platform, confirm that the channel connected to the right load cell is square and that the swing arms move freely.
Repair Procedures Replacing the Fuses If the device does not function when the power cord is plugged in and the power is turned on, a fuse may be blown. The Smart Scale has two fuse locations — one accessible by disassembly and two accessible from the back of the device. Main Fuses Required parts: Main fuses, x2 (part no.
Repair Procedures Internal Fuse Required parts: Pico fuse, x1 (part no. 200021) ESD protection Allen wrench Solder gun and solder To replace the pico fuse: If the scale is on, press to turn off the scale, then unplug the ON/OFF power cord.
Repair Procedures Replacing the Battery Pack If the battery pack no longer holds its charge, replace it. Partially discharging and recharging the rechargeable batteries repeatedly over time will lead to premature battery failure. To prolong battery health, occasionally run the scale NOTE on battery power alone until the cells are fully discharged, then fully recharge the battery for 2.5 hours.
Repair Procedures Testing the Membrane Switch Panel Test the membrane switch panel if the , or AVERAGE UNLOCK ZERO do not function. Required Items: Allen wrench ESD protection Jumper wires (x2) Voltmeter To test the membrane switch panel: If the scale is on, press to turn off the scale, then unplug the ON/OFF power cord.
Repair Procedures If so, test the display PCB ribbon cable; replace if damaged. Continue testing internal components, or reassemble and calibrate the scale (see page 6-4, then page 4-3). Testing the Ribbon Cables If the scale is not operating correctly test the ribbon cables, which are connected to the printed circuit boards, for continuity, open shorts, and mis-wires.
Repair Procedures Check the supply voltages (see Table 6.2). Table 6.2 Main PCB test points Test Point Expected Value +5Vdigital 5.00 ±0.1Vdc +5Vanalog 5.00 ±0.1Vdc -5Vanalog -5.00 ±0.5Vdc Reference KG/LB An S1 jumper installed on the main PCB (see page 3-15) will disable the button, forcing the scale to only display kilograms.
Repair Procedures Replacing the Power Supply Printed Circuit Board If the scale lights do not illuminate or appears to be malfunctioning, a PCB may be damaged. Test the PCB to confirm that it is damaged prior to replacing. Schematics, wiring diagrams, and PCB drawings are located on pages A-1–A-9. If appropriate, test the power supply PCB to determine if replacement is required (see NOTE page 6-10).
