Congratulations!
In the seca 222 measuring rod, you have
acquired an accurate and at the same time
sturdy rod for measuring the height of children
and adults.
It is manufactured from stable, easy-care alu-
minium profile. The measuring slide is made of
plastic and can be folded.
The scope of supply also includes a heel plate
and a measuring slide extender to facilitate ac-
curate measuring.
The seca 222 measuring rod is for measuring
height and thus for assessing the state of health
of patients and for detecting and monitoring
pathological nutritional or other physiological
disorders.
It is attached to the wall using the assembly
material supplied.
The seca 222 measuring rod is used with
a seca column scale primarily in hospitals,
general practice and measuring and nursing
facilities on wards.
Safety
Before using the new measuring rod, please
take a little time to read the following saftey
instructions:
• Follow the operating instructions.
• Attach the measuring rod only to safe, solid
walls
• Use the assembly material supplied
• When assembling, ensure that screws are
tight and that the rod has been assembled
correctly (see chapter entitled “Assembly
instructions”)
• Fold down the measuring slide after height
has been measured to avoid the risk of
injury.
Assembly instructions
Attaching the measuring rod to the wall
The scale stands on the ground after fastening
• Expand the measuring rod until you can
insert the two fastening screws
• You select the distance of the measuring
rod to the wall with the number of spacers
on the screws. You must use at least one
washer for each of the two fixing points.
Attaching the heel stop
• The heel stop enclosed helps the person
carrying out the measurement to assume
the correct position. It is mounted with the
measuring rod.
• Before attaching the measuring rod to the
wall, insert the scale in the notch of the heel
stop.
Attaching the measuring tongue
extension…
• There is provision for enlarging the head
support surface.
Please note: to avoid damaging the scale
when in use, the heel stop must be supported
against the wall. Therefore you must attach suf-
ficient spacers behind the heel stop so that the
last one contacts the wall.
