Instrucións de funcionamento
- Preparar a báscula: Ensure the scale is on a level surface and the weighbeams are balanced at the zero mark before each use.
- Pesar a un paciente:
- Instruct the patient to step onto the center of the scale platform.
- Adjust the larger lower weighbeam first to the nearest major increment below the patient's estimated weight.
- Then, adjust the smaller upper weighbeam until the scale is perfectly balanced. The indicator should align with the balance mark.
- Read the weight by summing the values indicated on both weighbeams.
- Switching Units (Pounds/Kilograms): The DS2100 features color-coded weighbeams with standard (pounds) and metric (kilograms) units on two separate sides. To switch units, simply twist the weighbeams to display the desired unit. Ensure the correct side is facing upwards for accurate reading.
- Using the Height Rod:
- With the patient standing on the scale, extend the telescoping height rod upwards.
- Lower the headpiece gently onto the patient's head, ensuring they stand straight.
- Read the patient's height from the measurement markings on the rod.
- Despois do uso: Gently assist the patient off the scale. Return the weighbeams to the zero position and retract the height rod for storage.
Mantemento
- Limpeza: Limpar a balanza regularmente cun suave, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or markings. Ensure the scale is dry after cleaning.
- Platform Cover: The slip-resistant platform cover is removable for easy cleaning. Ensure it is securely replaced before use.

- Ensure the scale is on a firm, level surface.
- Verify the scale is properly zeroed before the patient steps on.
- Check that the weighbeams are not obstructed and move freely.
- Confirm the correct unit (lb or kg) is selected and read.
- Weighbeams Not Balancing:
- Ensure no foreign objects are on the platform or interfering with the weighbeam mechanism.
- Check for any damage to the weighbeams or their pivots.
- Height Rod Sticking:
- Clean the height rod and its channel to remove any dust or debris.
- Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary, avoiding contact with measurement markings.
