5. Place the patient into the bed. The displayed weight is the weight of the patient.
6. If the weight of the patient should be ignored as well (e.g. for dialysis purposes), follow the instruction
under the point “Tare function”.
7. If the weight of the bed including bed-clothes is already being stored follow the instruction under the
point “Restore the preset tara value”
Weighing
Press the ON key for at least 3 seconds to turn the scales on. An automatic function test will be conducted
afterwards. The test is done when the display shows zero. The scale is now ready for the weighing procedure.
Resetting the scales back to zero: Wait until the standstill status indicator
(14) appears. By entering the
ZERO key (8), measuring inaccuracies after switching on the scale are being compensated. The zero key
restarts the scale. The status indicator (6) appears when the scale is being resetted.
Tare function
The TARE key (9) is useful for many weighing operations. Tare might be useful in case the patient is being
place on the scale/bed with items (e.g. clothing, bed clothing shoes or other items) which should be ignored by
the scale. Weigh these items first. After the weight is displayed, press the TARE key (9) to reset the display
back to zero. The display changes to net mode (NET status indicator (5) is on) and shows zero.
Note: Taring the bed with subsequent determination of the patient weight is not possible/practical, as the bed
weight is subtracted from the maximum load of the scale and thus only a small weighing range is avail-
able. To determine the patient weight, proceed according to section "Before Weighing" on page 7.
Entering manually tare - values
The user is able to insert manually the gross weight, which is for example mentioned at the identification plate
of the bed. Enter the appropriate tare value just by using the key pad under normal weighing mode. The value
will be stored after use of the ENTER key (or TARE). The ADE-display is now ready for weighing and changes
to net mode [NET status indicator (5) is on]. Enter the tare button to leave this mode.
Preset tara
Press and hold the PRESET TARE key (10) for approx. 3 seconds. PRO PT X appears on the display. Select
the memory location 1-10. Now enter the TARE VALUE which you would like to be ignored by the scale and
confirm same with ENTER. The value is displayed as a negative figure and will be deducted when a load is
being placed on the scale. Enter the on/off, zero – button (8) to leave this mode.
Restore the preset tara value
Press the PRESET TARE key (10). "Pt x" appears on the display. Enter a number from 0-9 (memory location
for the tare value). If no new number will be inserted to change the already displayed value within five sec-
onds, the unit will turn back to weighing mode and displays the last stored value as negative figure as above.
Enter the on/off, zero – button (8) to leave this mode.
Displaying the gross weight, net weight and tare value
Press the "0" key to change between the net weight (gross weight minus the tared value) and the gross
weight.
Hold function
The determined weight could be continued being displayed even when the load has already been removed.
That enables taking care of the patient first before reading the results.
To use the hold function the scale must be at standstill. The standstill status indicator
(14) is on and
Hold appears at the digital display. Deactivate the HOLD function by pressing the key again.
