1. Congratulations!
By purchasing the seca 954 electronic
chair scale, you have acquired a highly-ac-
curate 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 954 wheelchair scale with standing
aid is used primarily in hospitals, doctors'
surgeries and in-patient 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.
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see "Servicing" on page 22).
• Be sure to use only the seca mains unit
supplied. Before plugging the mains
unit into a socket, check that the mains
voltage indicated on the mains unit
matches local mains voltage.
• Ensure that the cables are not crushed
and do not come into contact with hot
objects.

The seca 954 can be moved on castors
and its low power consumption combined
with its rechargeable batteries mean it will
provide long, mobile service.
The seca 954 chair scale is made for peo-
ple who are not especially steady on their
feet. To give you a safe feeling while
weighing, the chair scale has a solid tubu-
lar frame and a firmly bolted seat. The free-
running casters make the scale very easy
to move. The wheel-locking lever, together
with the swiveling armrests and foot sup-
ports, makes it easier to sit in safety.
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.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
"Spare parts and accessories" on
page 23).
• Prevent the scale from rolling away ac-
cidentally. Use the wheel brake when
the patient is sitting down or getting up
and assist people who are unsteady on
their feet.
• 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.
