1.0 Introduction and System Overview
The Summit ® SB-1150 Bariatric Wheelchair Scale is a heavy-duty scale that offers exceptional performance in
hospitals. The patient simply walks, or is wheeled onto the weighing platform and is weighed.
The Summit SB-1150 Bariatric Wheelchair Scale is a fully electronic, low profile floor scale that measures 36 in
x 36 in (.91 m x .91 m), and has a capacity up to 1000 lb (500 kg). The SB-1150 uses four corner-mounted, alloy
steel shear beam load cells, with the cells recessed into the frame channels for protection.
Load cell cables are run through the main channels, and held down with replaceable cable ties near each corner,
eliminating the possibility of cable damage. One threaded hole, located in the center of the deck, is another useful
feature which allows for placement of a removable eyebolt to lift the scale from above with chains. Because of
the possibility of foot and load cell damage from forklift tines, the scale should always be lifted from above with
chains through the eyebolt which is illustrated in Figure 3-1 on page 3.
The adjustable feet are used to allow leveling the scale to make up for minor floor irregularities.
The Summit SB-1150 comes equipped with a large 1" LCD indicator display and 6 AA batteries for use when
power is not readily available. There is an optional 120/230V AC adapter which can be purchased.
