CAUTION AND WARNING
INTENDED USE
This Health o meter® Professional wheelchair scale is intended to be used in a professional medical
environment by trained medical staff. This product was designed to weigh patients who are safely seated in a
wheelchair or standing on the platform. Do not modify the product or use it for anything other than its intended
purpose.
To prevent patient/caregiver injury or damage to your scale, please follow the instructions in this
user manual very carefully.
Do not exceed the weight capacity specified for this scale.
For accurate weighing, this scale must be placed on a flat, stable surface.
For accurate weighing, verify before each use the proper operation according to the procedure
described in this manual.
Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive materials.
If the scale becomes damaged, it should not be operated until properly serviced.
Do not transport the scale with a patient or object on the scale.
To prevent injury and damage to your scale, do not drop or mishandle scale, during use or transport.
Ensure that the AC adapter and scale do not come in contact with liquids, excessive temperature, or
excessive humidity.
Patient/caregiver safety
This scale is designed for static weighing of patients only. No scale should be used for patient transfer.
To prevent patient injury, the patient must be attended throughout the entire weighing event. Exercise
caution when rolling the wheelchair onto and off of the scale.
When operating the scale with the AC adapter:
Operate this scale exclusively with the AC adapter that is provided (ADPT30). Use of an unspecified
adapter will void the warranty, and can pose a serious safety hazard.
Prior to using this scale, inspect the AC adapter cord for cracking / fraying, or for broken / bent plug
prongs.
Prior to using this scale, ensure that the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet with the rated voltage
appropriate for operation.
Ensure that the AC adapter outlet is wired to a circuit breaker or other protected power source.
Unplug the AC adapter, and carefully store both the adapter and adapter cord before moving the scale.
Operating this scale at voltages and frequencies other than specified can damage the equipment and
will void the warranty.
When operating the scale with batteries:
If the scale’s battery icon indicates that the batteries are low replace the batteries or switch to the AC
adapter as soon as possible.
When replacing / inserting batteries, be sure to use all new batteries.

Help
General
This scale uses highly sophisticated microprocessor technology. Each precision scale is designed to
provide accurate, reliable, and repeatable weight measurements. In addition, each scale is
designed to provide the user with features that make the weighing process simple, fast, and
convenient.
This scale uses motion-sensing weighing technology in order to determine the actual weight of a
moving patient.
Weight can be displayed in pounds (lb) or in kilograms (kg). This scale features a pivoting display
head for privacy and for easy operator reading. For easy mobility, the scale has 4 built-in wheels
(including 2 casters). Each scale can be powered using an AC adapter (ADPT30 included), or
by 6 D batteries (not included).

not completely tightened into the
platform.
3. Using the handles on the end of the
platform, lower the scale so it lies flat,
with the feet on the floor. Warning: Do
not drop scale, as this can
permanently damage the load cells.
Adjust the feet to level the scale. Each
foot should be completely hand tightened
then back the feet out 1-½ full turns. Be
certain that the feet are not completely
tightened into the platform.
4. Open the scale to its operational position
by loosening the two black knobs on
each side of the scale. Loosen the knobs
by turning them to the left until the rod
pops out completely as shown.
5. Lift the handrail to its veritical position.
Lock the handrail in place by pushing the
knob back in and tightening completely
by turning the knobs to the right.
Health o meter® Professional Scales recommends that assembly is performed by two
people.
Warning: Do not drop scale, as this can permanently damage the load cells.
Caution: Do not insert the batteries into the display head until it is mounted onto the scale.

10mm machine screws and using a
Phillips screwdriver, attach the bracket
cover over the silver display bracket.
8. Plug the load cell cable into the load cell
port on the rear of the display head.
Note: Do not attach the AC adapter
power cord into the back of the display
assembly at this point.
9. Attach the adapter holder to the handrail
using the (2) included sheet metal
screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver
to tighten the screws. The scale is now
assembled. See Powering the Scale on
page 10 for battery/AC adapter
instructions.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
1. On the side of the platform opposite to
the ramp, remove the guardrail mounted
to the end of the platform by unscrewing
and then removing the four guardrail
assembly screws. If adding a second
ramp, skip to step 5.
2. Fold the ramp onto the platform surface.
Remove the screws attaching the two
rubber bumpers, located on the side of
the platform. Remove the bumpers, and
re-install them on the opposite side of the
platform using the appropriate mounting
holes.
3. Loosen the screws holding each ramp
holder to the platform. There are four
screws on each side of the ramp. To
obtain access to the screws on the
underside of the platform, remove the
two black feet. After removing the screws
and the ramp holder, replace the feet.
Completely hand tighten the feet, then
turn them back 1-1/2 full turns.
4. Remove the ramp holders by pulling
them out of the platform. Separate the
ramp from the ramp holders.
5. On the side of the platform without a
ramp, remove the two feet on the
underside of the platform. Insert the
ramp holders but do not insert the
screws at this point. Insert the ramp
between the ramp holders, then insert
and tighten the assembly screws.
Replace the feet by completely hand
tightening, then turn back 1-1/2 full turns.
If utilizing just one ramp, re-install the
guardrail on the side of the platform
where the ramp was located.

Setting Auto Off Timer
When powering the scale via batteries or if Auto Off is Enabled for the AC adapter, the period of
inactivity before the scale powers off can be set to a specific amount of time. Follow this procedure
to set the amount of seconds of inactivity before power off.
Setting Auto Zero Option
When a scale is set to zero, it creates a reference point for weights that are placed on it. There are
two approaches to how this can take place. This option allows the user to select whether the scale
will re-set itself to ZERO each time it is powered up or whether it will use the zero reading from the
last time it was zeroed.
“Enable” means the scale will zero itself when it is powered on and this may take a few seconds.
After each use, the scale will clear the weight of the patient and set itself back to the initial ZERO
level it found on start-up. Health o meter® Professional recommends keeping this setting as
Enable. Note: Hitting a key to wake the scale from sleep mode will not prompt the scale to zero.
“Disable” means the scale does not attempt to find a zero when powered on, rather it will use the
last zero setting it had from its most recent use. There will be no delay in using the scale if the
Auto Zero is disabled. Health o meter® Professional recommends that if the Disable option is
selected, users should manually zero the scale before each weight measurement by
pressing . Users will see dashes appear on the screen as the scale is finding zero.
