This Health o meter® Professional platform 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 positioned and standing
on the platform. If a height rod is attached to the scale, the intended use of the height rod is to measure patient
height. 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 wheel or pull the scale down stairs, doing so may damage internal parts.
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.
Caregivers should ensure that the patient is stable and provide support as needed when getting
onto and off of the scale.
Patient should wear socks or other form of lightweight foot covering during weighing event.
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.

General
This digital scale uses highly sophisticated microprocessor technology. Each precision scale is
designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable weight measurements. This scale uses
motion-sensing weighing technology to determine the weight of a moving patient.
The 3001KL-AM / 3001KL-AMX displays weight in pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg). Refer to page
9 to learn more about configuring the weight measuring unit setting. The 3001KG-AM / 3001KGAMX displays weight in kilograms only. The scale can be powered using an AC adapter
(ADPT30 included), or by 6 D batteries (not included).
Antimicrobial Powder Coating
Unique to this scale, the handrails and transport handle have been fabricated with a permanent,
antimicrobial powder coating. The antimicrobial coating utilizes silver ionic technology to inhibit
the growth of microbes.
Scale Specifications
Scale information can be found by pressing and selecting “Scale Info” in the submenu. This
screen provides model number, capacity, calibration weight, the most recent field calibration date,
number of field calibrations and software version.
The scale surface, along with the height rod, (if provided) are the Type B applied parts.
