TARE FUNCTION
When using the scale, the weight of an object such as shoes accompanying the patient can be subtracted
from the total weight to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function automatically performs
this subtraction. ProPlus ® scales allow tare weight to be entered manually by using the keypad or
automatically, as outlined in this section.
AUTOMATIC (PUSH BUTTON TARE)
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF or I/O button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until “0.0Kg” and “ZERO” appear on the left side of the display.
3. Put the weight to be tared on the scale. The display will show a value for that weight.
4. Press the TARE (9) button. The scale will zero out and the word “TARE” will appear in the upper right side
of the display to indicate there is a tare value for this patient.
5. Remove the weight from the scale. The display will show a negative weight equal to the weight of the
shoes or other item, once that item is removed from the scale.
6. Place the patient and the tared object on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the tared weight, as
entered, from the gross weight of the patient and tared object.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. The tared value is stored in memory until changed, cleared or the scale is turned off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE (9) button again. The word “TARE” will disappear from the display
and the tare value will be deleted from memory. The scale will resume normal operation.
