INSTALLATION

The Detecto PL600 Patient Lift Scale Indicator is a completely self-contained, battery-powered
instrument that is used to determine the weight of a person suspended from a portable patient
lift mechanism. The PL600 consists of a weight indicator with a intergal tension load cell and
with it’s small size and simple, easy operation, it can be used where standard indicators are
too large and cumbersome. Setup and Operation of the PL600 can be quickly learned using
the following instructions and guidelines.

Before beginning installation of your PL600 Patient Lift Scale Indicator, make certain the
instrument has been received in good condition. When removing the indicator from its
packing, inspect it for signs of damage, such as exterior dents and scratches. Keep the carton
and packing material for return shipment if it should become necessary. It is the responsibility
of the purchaser to file all claims for any damages or loss incurred during transit.

1. Remove the instrument from the shipping carton and inspect it for any signs of damage that
might have taken place during shipment such as exterior dents and scratches.

2. Install the battery. Refer to the BATTERY REPLACEMENT section for more instruction.

3. Place the indicator on the hook of the patient lift mechanism.

4. The indicator is now ready for use.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The PL600 uses a single 9 volt Alkaline battery. The battery is contained in a battery holder
inside the instrument. Access is via a removable panel on the back of the indicator.

To install the battery, turn the indicator so that the display is facing down (away from you) and
resting on the keypad. Locate the rectangular panel on the back of the indicator and remove
the thumbscrew retaining it (see Figure 1). Remove the panel exposing the battery holder.
Install the 9 volt battery in the holder, making certain it is positioned in accordance with the
polarity markings located in the battery holder. Refer to Figure No. 2 for illustration of battery
installation.

OFF

Lb/kg

Pressing this key will apply power to the instrument and turn on the indicator display.
If the indicator is already on, pressing this key will zero the indicator.

Pressing this key when the indicator is on will remove power to the instrument.

This key is used to change the weighing units to the alternate units of measurement.
For example, with pounds displayed (lb annunciator turned on) pressing this key will
change the weighting units to kilograms (kg annunciator will turn on).

OPERATION

1. Press the ON/ZERO key to turn the indicator on. If the the LOCK feature has been
enabled, the unit will display the last weight reading stored by the device and the LOCK
annunciator will be on. Otherwise, the unit will display the current weight.

2. To clear the last weight reading stored, press the ON/ZERO key. The unit will then display
the current weight.

3. Press the ON/ZERO key again to zero the display.

4. The patient is placed in the sling and lifted from the bed.

5. When weight is stable, the STABLE annunciator will turn on.

6. If the Auto-Shutoff feature has been enabled, the unit will turn itself off after a stable weight
reading is displayed for the preset time. Refer to the AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF FEATURE
section for more information.

7. If the unit turns off before the patient was properly weighed, it can be turned on again by
pressing the ON/ZERO key as described in steps 1 and 2.

LOCK WEIGHT FEATURE

This feature stores the last weight reading when the unit is turned off, either by the Auto­Shutoff feature or by pressing the OFF key. When enabled, after turning the unit back on, the
stored weight is displayed and the LOCK annunciator will be lit to indicate the displayed weight
is a stored weight and not the current weight. This feature allows the operator to store a
weight reading and record it after leaving the patient’s room.

The Lock Weight feature is enabled or disabled during the indicator Setup and Calibration.
Refer to that section for more information.

.

The PL600 is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature that helps prolong battery life by
turning the indicator off after a preset amount of time after a stable weight reading has been
reached. To turn the indicator back on you must press the ON/ZERO key. The automatic
shut-off feature is activated during the setup and calibration procedure and can be set to
display weight for 10 to 90 seconds (time approximate) after a stable weight reading has been
reached before the indicator will automatically shut off. The automatic shut-off feature may be
disabled by selecting " 0 " during the Setup and Calibration. Refer to that section for more
