SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS

The apex Digital Clinical Scale is a precision weight indicating instrument. As with any precision instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at peak performance and reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.

Environmental

 For indoor use only.  Suitable for dry environments only RH < 90% and non-condensing environments.  NEVER allow scale to get wet.  The scale meets or exceeds all certification requirements within a temperature range

of 14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C).

The scale should be placed out of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air circulation, keep the area around the scale clear.

Do not place the scale directly in front of a heating or cooling vent. Such a location will subject it to sudden temperature changes, which may result in unstable weight readings.

Insure that the scale has good, clean AC power and is properly grounded. In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional protection to minimize lightning damage, such as surge suppressors, should be installed.

Electrical Power

The apex Digital Clinical Scale has been designed to operate from a 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz 12 VDC 1A wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power adapter. Note that a special order is not required for operation at 230 VAC.

 The socket-outlet supplying power to the scale should be near the scale and should be

easily accessible.

 On installations requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer to

have a qualified electrician install the proper power adapter plug that conforms to national electrical codes and local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Noise Interference

To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all air conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other equipment with heavily inductive loads, such as welders, motors and solenoids are on circuits separate from the system. Many of these disturbances can seriously affect the operation of the system. These sources of disturbances must be identified and steps must be taken to prevent possible adverse effects on the system. Examples of available alternatives include isolation transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple line filters.

AC Power Adapter

To power the scale using the 12VDC wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power adapter, connect the plug from the adapter into the power jack on the back of the scale display and then plug the power adapter into the proper electrical outlet. On models requiring 230 VAC, it is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the correct power adapter plug.

USB

The USB port on the scale is a device (or upstream) port and uses readily available cables with the industry standard “Micro-B” connector.

The USB port may be connected to a computer for transmission of weight and associated data to a PC-based EMR (electronic medical record) software program. The data can be transmitted on demand (pressing the  key) or on receipt of a command from the computer.

Batteries

The scale can use (12) "AA” size Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries (not included). You must first obtain and install batteries before operations can begin. Batteries are contained in (2) battery holders inside the scale base. Remove the scale platform cover to access the battery holders in the scale base.

CAUTION! The scale can be operated from Alkaline, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries. All (12) batteries must be of the same type. They must all be Alkaline, all Ni-Cad or all NiMH. DO NOT mix Alkaline and Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries.

NOTE: The apex scale does not have a battery charging circuit. Should you wish to use Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries, they must be fully charged before installing. When discharged, Ni-Cad or NiMH batteries must be removed and placed in an external charger to recharge.

Battery Status

The battery status will be displayed when batteries are installed. The battery bar graph on the display indicates the battery capacity in (5) steps:

4 segments - the full battery capacity is available, 3 segments - the battery is at 80% of capacity, 2 segments - the battery is at 60% of capacity, 1 segment: - the battery is at 40% capacity. 0 segments - the battery is at less than 20% capacity

When the battery voltage drops too low for accurate weighing, the scale display will show Lo on the small upper seven segment display and BAtt on the large lower seven segment display and shut off. You will be unable to turn the scale back on until the batteries have been replaced.

Using Alkaline Batteries

When no bars on shown on the battery status symbol, press the off, remove the old batteries and replace with new ones.

CARE AND CLEANING

NOTE: The scale contains no user-serviceable parts and maintenance should be

limited to an occasional cleaning and battery replacement as required.

 Do not submerge the scale in water, pour or spray water directly on it to clean. The

scale is not waterproof and covering it with water will damage it and void the warranty.

 Always remove power before cleaning.  Do not use wire brushes, abrasives, or cleaning tools such as steel pads and

scrapers, which will scratch the painted surface. Instead, use soft cloths or plastic scouring pads for cleaning.

 When possible use treated water. Hard water can leave behind deposits. Soft water

is much gentler on the painted steel’s surface.

 Avoid the use of acetone, thinner or other volatile solvents and abrasive type

cleaners for cleaning. If required, a mild solvent such as mineral spirits can be used to remove oil, grease, tars, wax, and similar substances. Use a cloth dampened with mineral spirits and apply only to areas that are contaminated. Follow up the use of this mild solvent with detergent cleaning and rinsing.
