Taring weight display (TARE)
The Tare function is very useful if an additional weight, e.g. that of a chair, is to be ignored
for weighing purposes.
Proceed as follows:
– Press the Start key with no load on the
scale.
– First place the additional weight (e.g.
the chair) on the scale and activate the
Tare function by pressing and holding
the HOLD/TARE key.
The display is reset to zero,
0.0 flashes
in the display until weight is detected to
be stable. Only then is the Tare function
fully activated. The note “NET” appears.
– Now place the patient on the scale. The
patient may remain seated.
The scale determines the weight of the
additional load. You can now perform
as many weighing operations as you
like.
Hold the key down again to deactivate
the Tare function; the scale is then back
in normal weighing mode and the tare
value has been erased.
– The tare value is likewise erased by the
scale being switched off.
Store weight value (HOLD)
You can also continue displaying the weight determined once the load has been removed.
This makes it possible to look after a patient first, before having to note the weight:
– Press the
HOLD/TARE key whilst the
load is on the scale.
“HOLD” appears in the digital display.
The value is stored until the scale
switches off automatically.
The triangle with the exclamation mark
indicates that this frozen display is an
additional facility which is not subject to
calibration.
– The HOLD function can be switched off
by pressing the HOLD key again.
0.0 appears in the display if the scale
has no load on it, otherwise the current
weight. The “HOLD” display vanishes.
Note:
The HOLD function can also be used if the TARE function has been executed
beforehand.
