you suspect it is in error.
This may
happen
if the
patient was touching something other than the scale's
handrail, or the patient was in some other way interfered
with.
Pressing the "RE WEIGH" pushbutton will cause
the scale to display a series of dashed lines, then beep
three (3) times and display the weight.

RECALL
The "RE CALL"
pushbutton is used to display
the previous patient's weight. After the patient steps off
the scale and the display returns fo "0.0", the weight
reading
is automatically
entered
in the
scale's
non-
volatile memory.
This stored weight can be displayed on demand
by
pressing the "RE CALL" pushbutton at any time.
The
weight will be displayed along with a flashing "PRIOR
WEIGHT"
annunciator
as
long
as the
"RE
CALL"
pushbutton is held; a quick press of the pushbutton will
display it for several seconds.
This is a useful feature if the operator has forgotten to
record the patient's weight or was otherwise occupied
with the patient and prevented from recording it.
On newer versions of these scales (software versions
2.00 or higher) the weighi can be displayed with the
scale turned "off" by simply pressing the "RE CALL"
pushbutton. The scale will automatically turn on, display
the flashing "PRIOR WEIGHT" annunciator along with
the weight value, then switch off several seconds after
the "RE CALL" pushbutton is pressed.
Earlier versions
of the scale require that the scale first be powered "on".

MODEL 6502 FOOTREST / ARMREST
The model 6502 chair scale includes a slide-out
footrest to insure accurate weighing.
Once the patient
is seated in the chair the footrest can be extended to
provide
a convenient
place to rest their feet.
The
patients
feet
should
not touch
the
floor during
the
weighing process as this will affect the weight reading's
accuracy.
When
finished weighing
the
patient the
footrest can be returned to its retracted position to allow
easier patient exit.
The armrests of the model 6502 foki-down to allow easy
patient
access
to the
chair.
To
fold the
armrest
squeeze the latch lever and press the armrest down.
To restore it to its original position pull up on the arm
rest until it clicks into position.

ERROR
MESSAGES:
"bAttrY",
"O.LOAd",
"CABLE",
"OFF
SCALE
PLEASE
--", "E-
FAIL", "r.FAIL"
The internal microcomputer contained in the
readout constantiy monitors the scale's operation and
uses the display to indicate error conditions when they
arise.
An
explanation
of these
messages
is given
below:
a.) "bAttry" : Indicates the battery has become
depleted
to the point that it can
no longer
operate
the
scale.
Replace
the
battery to
continue operation,
b.) "O-LOAď : Shows that the scale platform's
weighing capacity has been exceeded. Refer to
the
inside
front
cover
specifications
for
maximum capacity.
с.)
"CABLE":
Displays that the transducer
signal is well in excess of its maximum value.
This is usually caused by the transducer cable
being
disconnected.
Check
the
cable
connection
between
the
readout
and
the
weighing
platform.
On
scales with a mast
(5002, 6002, etc.) check the connection at the
base of the mast.
3.) "OFF SCALE PLEASE --" ; Ramp equipped
scales (6002, 6702, etc.) require that a "zero"
value be established before the patient enters
the weighing platform area. Remove the patient
from the weighing platform and allow the scale
to obtain "zero".
e)
"E-FAIL", "rFAIL" : Shows that a memory
failure
has
occurred
in
the
internal
microcomputers memory.
Requires service of
the scale.

OPTIONAL PRINTER
On certain model scales a digital paper tape
printer
can
be
supplied.
The
printer
provides
a
convenient
printed record
of the weight.
Space
is
provided on the tape printout to write in the patients
5002, 5102, 5602, 6002, 6102, 6202, 6502, 6702
