SYSTEM DESCRIPTION and INTENDED USE
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The SR775L Scale System employs the latest in microprocessor and load cell technology to
provide precise and repeatable weight data.
The low power microprocessor circuitry derives its power from batteries that will provide up to
400 hours of weight readings before needing replacement. This eliminates the need for an external
battery charger or the danger of a plug-in power supply.
The SR775L also incorporates a keypad tare, which allows the caregiver to preset a predetermined tare value that can represent the weight of the wheelchair, walker, chair, etc., to be
used when weighing the patient. This amount will be automatically subtracted from the gross
weight of patient and equipment so only the net weight of the patient will be displayed and stored
in memory.
The scale comes equipped with dual side ramps to facilitate access when using wheelchair bound
patients. When not in use, or when moving the scale, the dual ramps are folded up and onto the
scale surface.
INTENDED USE
The SR775L is designed for use as a portable patient
weighing system for ambulatory and non-ambulatory
wheelchair bound patients, or those that need to be
supported by a chair or walker. Maximum weight
capacity must not exceed 1000 pounds or 454
kilograms gross weight.
MAINTENANCE and CLEANING
Exercise caution when cleaning the display
window of the SR775L as it is made of
clear polyester and can be scratched by
abrasive cleaners. It is recommended to use
mild soap and water for general cleaning
and disinfecting. DO NOT use vinegar to
clean the display.
DO NOT use pressurized water or steam. The
scale system contains microprocessor circuitry
and strain gauge sensors that may be adversely
affected by exposure to such an environment.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS
Figure 3: Button Displa
ZERO
The “ZERO” button activates scale display and sets the system to zero. When the system
0
is turned on, the display lights all segments on the LCD, shows the software revision level,
and the local gravitational constant. Scale will be in GROSS WEIGHT mode and display
will zero.
LB/KG MODE
The “LB/KG” button factory default setting allows user to toggle between viewing data in
pounds or kilograms. Alternative options can display “pounds only” or “kilograms only”,
deactivating the “LB/KG” button.
WEIGH
The “WEIGH” button starts the scale and displays the pa t i e n t ’ s w e i g h t . T h e display lights
all segments on LCD, shows the software revision level, and the local gravitational
constant, and starts up in the same mode (NET or GROSS) it was in prior to Automatic
Shut Off. Tare data will not be compromised.
HOLD
The “SET TARE” button stores the weight of object prior to that object and patient being
placed together on the scale.

BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
SETTING SYSTEM ZERO
Before placing anything on the scale, ensure it is level and press the “ZERO” button.
0
When the system starts up, the display will quickly test all segments, indicate the software
revision level, and the local gravitational constant. All tare values will be erased and the scale will b e
in GROSS WEIGHT mode. Display will zero. When both the ZERO and STABILITY DETECTION
display symbols are visibl e, weighing ca n proceed. Ambulatory patient can walk on the scale and
the weight will appear on the display. Non-ambulatory patients should not be placed on the scale
until tare is set for any equipment needed by the patient, i.e. wheelchair/chair/walker etc. Refer to
SETTING TARE.
WEIGH
When the system has been set to zero, the “WEIGH” button can be used after the patient is
positioned on the scale. Lock the patient’s wheelchair brake to prevent movement. The
display will indicate the patient’s weight. After Automatic Shut Off, simply press the
“WEIGH” button to re-activate the scale.
Do not leave patient unattended on the scale platform.
CAUTION
SETTING TARE
Place the empty wheelchair/chair/walker (with any blankets or
pillows that the patient may have with them) on the scale platform.
Press the “ZERO” button to tare the object’s weight. The display
will read “0.0”. Remove the wheelchair from the platform. Place
the patient in the wheelchair. Place the wheelchair on the platform. Lock the patient’s wheelchair
brake to prevent movement. Press the “WEIGH” button to display the patient’s weight.
When tare is known for an object, the amount can be pre-set via the keypad. Press the “ENTER”
button to activate the keypad and display any pre-set tare data residing in memory. Enter the numeric
value of the weight of the current tare object. For example, 12.5 kilograms will be entered as 125
(decimal remains fixed).
Press the “ENTER” button again to save the data. The PRE-SET TARE and NET W EI GH T display
symbols will light on the display. The pre-set tare value will be indicated as a negative number until the
patient is positioned on the scale.
The “CLEAR” button, or an Automatic Shut Off, will cancel the pre-set operation if the “ENTER”
button has not already saved tare to memory.
The “WEIGH” button will re-activate the scale after Automatic Shut Off without compromising the tare
data.

THEORY OF OPERATION
SR Instruments patient weighing systems are digital scales. Strain-gauge force cells convert the force
of an applied weight into an analog signal. This signal is amplified by an operational amplifier and
converted to a digital signal by an analog to digital converter. The digital signal is transferred to a
micro-controller where it is filtered, converted to appropriate units, and displayed on a liquid crystal
display.
Strain-gauge force cells each contain four strain gauges mounted in a full Wheatstone-bridge
configuration. These bridges convert the physical movement of the force cell, due to the applied mass
on the system, into minute changes in electrical resistance. These changes in resistance produce a
voltage difference across the Wheatstone-bridge. The output of the Wheatstone-bridge is digitized by
a sigma-delta analog to digital converter. The data is transferred to the micro-controller.
The micro-controller averages and filters the digital output of the analog to digital converter, subtracts
the value saved during the system zero operation, and scales the filtered output and then displays the
result on the liquid crystal display. The micro-controller performs a rolling average of data for
continuous weigh and then micro-controller averages the data before locking in on the reading. The
micro-controller can be pl aced in a calibration mode, where the system can be re-calibrated. In the
calibration mode, the calibration, local gravitational constant, and duration of “on” time can be
adjusted. The new factors are stored in non-volatile memory.

CALIBRATION
IMPORTANT
CALIBRATION CHECK – A certified technician should perform this procedure.
The load cell and integrated electronics have no user serviceable components and
should not be tampered with for any reason. Re-calibration must be performed
when the seal is broken. Recommendation for calibration check is at least once
every 12 months, or as individual maintenance policy requires.
INITIAL SYSTEM SETUP
When initially set up, calibration is factory set and re-calibration is not needed. The Local
Gravitational Acceleration may have to be re-set for the current geographical location. Automatic
Shut Off is shipped with a factory default of 60 seconds. If a longer period of time (120 or 180
seconds) is desired, then it will need to be re-set. Both of these procedures are found below.
ACCESS SYSTEM SETUP
Ensure scale is level before proceeding. To access all settings below, break the Calibration Seal and
open the right hand end cap. Seal must be replaced by a certified technician. Push the cali brati on
swi t c h right to the “CAL” position (Figure 4) using the eraser end of a pencil or similar item. Display
arrow on the top right will light up.
CAUTION
ESD: The integrated circuits and
semiconductors on the printed circuit boards
may be damaged by electrostatic discharge).
Be sure to use proper handling precautions at
all times.
SETTING GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION
STEP 1: Select number “1” on the numeric keypad. The 2ND
display arrow down on the right will light up.
STEP 2: The factory default setting will appear on the display.
Using the keypad, enter in the local gravitational acceleration value if
desired.
STEP 3: Press the “ENTER” button to save the selection or
the “CLEAR” button to exit the menu without saving. The
display arrow will return to the 2
right.
STEP 4: (Figure 5) Select another menu item, or push the
calibration switch left to the “RUN” position to exit
CALIBRATION mode.
