Operation

Scale (optional)

The 300 pound capacity platform scale utilizes four (4) built in load sensors. These electronic
sensors are accurate within 5 grams, and are protected against impacts, moisture and liquid
spills. The scale has been calibrated and all parameters are preset so it should never need
calibration.

[ = CENTER OF ZERO lb kg

UNITS

ZERO

Equipment Alerts

• Prevent flammables and liquids from entering the scale head.

• Allow adequate clearance on all sides of scale platform to ensure accuracy.

• Do not drop large loads onto the scale platform.

• Never exceed the rated capacity of the scale.

• Do not operate in close proximity to RF transmitters.

There are two (2) controls located on the display:

UNITS Toggles the displayed weight between pounds (lbs) and kilograms (kg).
ZERO Resets the display to indicate zero (0.0).

Note

The scale will not respond to the ZERO control under these conditions:

Motion on Scale
An under load condition (less than 0.1lbs or 50g)
An over load condition (more than 300lbs or 1kg)

Operation

Scale (continued)

Weighing an animal without a cage:

• Zero scale (0.0), place animal on center of platform and read the weight displayed.

A blank scale while weighing means excess motion is detected and weight averaging
is in process. Once completed, the scale will display and HOLD the recorded weight.
Adding additional weight while in the HOLD condition will

Weighing an animal with a cage:

• Place empty cage on center of platform, then zero scale (0.0).

• Remove cage from platform; scale will read negative weight (-_._).

Maintenance

Cleaning

Tabletop Mat:

The tabletop mat should be cleaned between patients with a virucidal agent or mild
disinfectant spray and towel or cloth dried. The mat can be moved to a tub or sink for
a more thorough cleaning.

Equipment Alert

Silver nitrate and betadine can stain the mat. Certain pharmaceutical products
such as “ADVANTAGE” will react and cause bubbles on the mat surface.
Caution must be used when selecting a cleaning agent.

Painted Surfaces:

Clean the table weekly, wiping the painted metal and plastic surfaces with a clean, soft
cloth, and mild cleaners. Periodic applications of common furniture wax will ease
cleaning and maintain the finished luster of the table’s painted surfaces.

Stainless Steel Surfaces:

For best results, stainless steel should be cleaned weekly or whenever films or deposits
become apparent. Use a mild cleaning agent and whenever possible rinse thoroughly and
towel dry. More stubborn deposits or tightly adhering debris may require vigorous rubbing,
or brushing. If a commercial cleaner needs to be used, make sure it is approved for
use on stainless steel surfaces.

Equipment Alert

Always use nylon or plastic bristle scrubbers. The use of steel wool or steel
brushes may cause steel particles to become embedded in the surfaces

and will cause rust.

Avoid prolonged surface exposure to chlorides, bromides, iodides and thiocyanates.
Salty solutions allowed to evaporate on stainless steel surfaces may cause pitting,
corrosion or metal discoloration.

Preventive Maintenance

Periodically inspect the following areas:

• Power cord should be free of cuts or other visible damage.

• All fasteners should be present and tightened securely.

• All mechanical functions should operate properly.

Have an authorized service technician inspect your table on a regular basis.
