1. Congratulations!

By purchasing the seca 954 electronic
chair scale, you have acquired a highly-ac­curate and sturdy piece of equipment.

seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun­tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop­ments for weighing and measuring.

In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 954 wheelchair scale with standing
aid is used primarily in hospitals, doctors’
surgeries and in-patient nursing facilities.

The weight display can be switched be­tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.

The seca 954 can be moved on castors
and its low power consumption combined
with its rechargeable batteries mean it will
provide long, mobile service.

The seca 954 chair scale is made for peo­ple who are not especially steady on their
feet. To give you a safe feeling while
weighing, the chair scale has a solid tubu­lar frame and a firmly bolted seat. The free­running casters make the scale very easy
to move. The wheel-locking lever, together
with the swiveling armrests and foot sup­ports, makes it easier to sit in safety.

The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.

2. Safety

Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instruc­tions.

• Follow the safety instructions in the in­struction manual.

• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.

• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see “Servicing” on page 22).

• Be sure to use only the seca mains unit
supplied. Before plugging the mains
unit into a socket, check that the mains
voltage indicated on the mains unit
matches local mains voltage.

• Ensure that the cables are not crushed
and do not come into contact with hot
objects.

• Use only the type of battery stated (see
“Spare parts and accessories” on
page 23).

• Prevent the scale from rolling away ac­cidentally. Use the wheel brake when
the patient is sitting down or getting up
and assist people who are unsteady on
their feet.

• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.

Assembling

This chair scale is available either fully or partly assembled. To assemble the partly-assem­bled model, please proceed as follows:

vided and bolt in place using the two
M6 x 16 bolts, following the diagrams.

– Thread the mounting bolts for the dis-

play unit through the bores provided in

– Fit the seat to the frame using the four

self-tapping plastic screws. Check that
the seat is screwed tightly to the frame
with no play at all.

– Push the hinge bolts for the armrests

through the hinge bushes on the seat
frame. Put on the washer and cap nut
(M10) and screw them tight.

Power supply

The scale is powered by a mains unit and by rechargeable batteries.
Connecting the rechargeable battery pack
– Open the battery compartment in the

base of the display housing.

– Connect the plug contacts to the re-

chargeable battery pack located in the
battery compartment.

– Close the lid of the battery compart-

ment again.

The LC display and the evaluation electronics have a low power consumption – 1,000
weighing operations can be performed with a fully charged battery.

Once battery voltage is no longer adequate, the battery symbol first appears in
the display to indicate that battery power is dropping.

If the batteries are not charged, battery voltage will ultimately not be adequate for error­free measuring. In this case,

bAtt appears in the display and weighing is no longer pos-

sible.
