BATTERY CHARGING
The rechargeable battery in this scale is similar to the no-maintenance lead-acid batteries used in automobiles. Since the battery is sealed, no checking of water level or adding of water to the battery is necessary. However, recharging at proper intervals and proper storage procedures are necessary, similar to an automobile battery. A fully charged battery will provide approximately 250 normal weighings before requiring recharging. When the display flashes “Lo-b,” the battery needs to be recharged.
Charging the Battery
A. Plug the battery charger power cord into the 3-prong
jack on control panel box. Secure by turning the knurled ring.
B. Plug the battery charger into a 120 VAC outlet.
C. The battery will fully charge in 8 hours. THE SCALE
MAY BE USED WHILE THE BATTERY IS CHARGING.
NOTE: The specially designed charger built into this scale prevents the battery from being overcharged. Use of a charger or adapter other than the one designed for this scale can result in SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SCALE OR BATTERY.
Optimum battery life will be obtained if the scale is operated and stored connected to 120 VAC. Always check the plug to see if the scale is charging before moving.
STORAGE: When storing the scale for an extended period of time (and the unit is not connected to a 120 VAC), the battery should be fully charged. The battery should then be charged every three months. A discharged battery should be recharged as soon as possible to prevent its useful life from decreasing significantly. A discharged battery left in the scale can leak and cause permanent damage to the battery and scale. Store the unit in a cool, dry place.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Control Panel Box
The 4521 control panel keypad has four membrane switches. The POUNDS, KILOS, and ZERO switches have both primary and secondary functions listed below. Only the primary functions are listed on the switch.
Special Features
Tanita Corporation’s electronic scales come standard with these special features:
1. Autozero: The scale will automatically display “0” when turned on. If a foreign object is placed on the platform before turning the scale on, it will automatically zero out that object’s weight.
2. English-Metric Readout: You may switch between metric (kilos) and English (pounds) readouts before or after a reading, and the scale will convert one reading to the other.
3. Recalculate Weight: If the first reading of a patient’s weight is suspect, a second reading can be taken without removing the patient from the scale. To reweigh the patient, simply depress the Zero switch.
4. Average Weight: In most cases, the 4521 Scale displays an actual weight based on a series of consistent stable measurements. However, if the wheelchair/patient keeps moving, the scale may not get the readings required to give a “stable weight.” In these instances an average weight can be determined by activating the Average Locking feature. Depress the Pounds (or Kilos) switch (dependent upon measurement preference). The indicator light should start flashing. A weight should appear in place of the moving dashes. Depress the Pounds or Kilos switch again to deactivate the feature.
5. Zero Ability: The operator can “zero out” the weight of a blanket, etc., upon which a patient is to be weighed.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
As a Wheelchair Scale
When using the 4521 Wheelchair Scale, the weight of the wheelchair must be taken into account. Weigh the wheelchair by itself to determine its weight and then subtract this weight from the combined weight of patient and wheelchair.
IMPORTANT: Adjust platform height so it does not touch the floor or carpet. An incorrect patient weight reading will result if the ramp touches the floor or carpet. (See Section “Leveling the Platform” on page 2.)
Weighing the Wheelchair
1. Place the control panel box away from the scale so that the cables do not cross the platform rails.
2. Adjust the scale width by sliding the adjustable rail until the wheelchair wheels line up with the platform rails. (Fig. 4)
3. Turn scale on by depressing the On/Off switch. Wait for the display to show “0.”
4. Roll the empty wheelchair onto the scale. Wait for the moving dashes to lock in and display the weight of the wheelchair.
5. Record the wheelchair weight.
6. Remove the wheelchair from the scale platform and turn scale off.
Taking a Weight Measurement
1. Before wheeling patient onto scale platform, make certain wheels line up with the platform rails. If they need to be adjusted, repeat steps 1 and 2 under “Weighing the Wheelchair” above.
2. Wheel the patient onto the scale platform. Then lock the wheels to prevent rolling during weighing.
3. The moving dashes will lock in and display the weight measurement.
• Measurement automatically defaults to pounds. If kilograms are required, depress the Kilos switch.
• If a reweigh is required, depress the Zero switch.
4. Deduct the wheelchair weight from the displayed weight to obtain the patient’s weight.
5. Excessive movement may prevent a repeatable reading. In this case, a series of moving dashes continues to appear on the console rather than a weight reading. If moving dashes persist, activate the “Average Lock” by depressing the appropriate Pounds or Kilos switch to obtain an average reading of the patient’s weight.
NOTE: This reading is an instantaneous average of weights that the computer calculates.
6. After the weight measurement is obtained and recorded, remove the patient from the scale.
7. Depress the On/Off switch to turn the scale off.
As a Chair Scale
When using the Wheelchair Scale as a Chair Scale, the weight of the chair used to seat the patient on must be taken into account. This is accomplished by weighing the chair by itself to zero-out its weight.
Failure to correctly zero out the weight of the chair will result in incorrect patient weight readings.
Weighing the Chair
1. Place the control panel box away from the scale so that the cables do not cross the platform rails.
2. Adjust the scale width by sliding the adjustable rail so the legs of the chair can rest on the platform rails.
3. Place the chair on the scale rails so the seat is directly over the center beam.
4. Turn the scale on. The scale will zero out the weight of the chair leaving a “0” on the display.

Calibration
Note: Your scale has been accurately calibrated at the factory. However, there is always a possibility that the calibration changed due to jarring during shipping. The following procedure should be followed to check and/or correct any error in calibration.
1. Depress On/Off switch on scale and wait for a display of “0.”
2. Place an accurately known weight on the platform.
3. If display is other than known weight, then the scale is out of calibration.
4. Remove the upper 2 screws from each side of the control panel. Slightly loosen the bottom 2 screws on each side, but do not remove.Lift off the top portion of the head. Be careful, since it is attached to the bottom portion with a ribbon cable. You will see 2 small adjustment screws toward the front of the control board. The left metal screw is for coarse adjustments; it adjusts for large errors. The right plastic screw is for fine adjustments; it adjusts small errors.
5. Turn the metal coarse calibration screw in small increments, CLOCKWISE to increase weight or COUNTERCLOCKWISE to decrease weight. In most cases, this is the only adjustment needed.
6. If necessary, make adjustments with the plastic fine adjustment screw (right). CLOCKWISE to decrease
weight; COUNTERCLOCKWISE to increase weight.
7. Remove weight and depress Zero switch. Wait for a display reading of “0.” Again add known weight to platform. If reading is correct, no further adjustments are necessary. If reading is incorrect, repeat steps 5 and 6 until correct reading is obtained.
NOTE: The Top Knob is for fine adjustment and the Bottom Knob is for coarse adjustment. The fine
adjustment knob works opposite of the coarse adjustment knob—CLOCKWISE if too heavy and COUNTERCLOCKWISE if too light.
Taking a Weight Measurement
1. Once the chair weight has been zeroed out and the display reads “0,” have the patient sit on the chair.
2. The moving dashes will lock in and display the patient’s actual weight.
3. Weight measurement should automatically be displayed on the control panel box console.
• Measurement automatically defaults to pounds. If kilograms are required, push the Kilos switch.
• If a reweigh is required, depress the Zero switch.
4. Excessive movement may prevent a repeatable reading. In this case, a series of moving dashes continues to appear on the console rather than a weight reading. If moving dashes persist, activate the “Average Lock” by depressing the appropriate Pounds or Kilos switch to obtain an average reading of the patient’s weight.
Note: This reading is now an average of weights that the computer calculates.
5. After weight measurement is obtained and recorded, have the patient stand up off the chair and step away from the scale.
6. Depress the On/Off switch to turn the scale off.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and cleaning of all Tanita Corporation scales and accessories is essential to ensure a long life of accurate and effective operation. In addition to routine cleaning, include a regular check of all structural apparatus to ensure stability.
Cleaning
Disconnect scale from 120 VAC before cleaning.
1. All external surfaces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Mild soap and water solution may be used. Wipe unit dry with a clean, soft cloth.
2. DO NOT immerse control panel box into cleaning or other liquid solutions.
3. DO NOT use isopropyl alcohol or other solutions to clean surface of control panel box.
4. Check the overall appearance of the whole scale for any obvious damage, wear and tear. Inspect the AC cord and adapter for cord cracking or fraying or for broken or bent prongs.
