CHAPTER 6
SCALE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. INTRODUCTION
LIFTEM can be supplied with an optional integral SCALE to measure the weight of patients, while
performing a lift and transfer. The SCALE is shown in Figure 7 and is easily installed and operated.
The SCALE will display the weight of the patient in kilograms or pounds, as desired. It is powered
from a 9 volt Lithium battery and measures weight to an accuracy of 0.1 % of the reading.
The maximum range is 700 pounds (317.3 kilograms)
Three buttons, located under the front panel, must be pressed to setup the SCALE and to take a weight
measurement.
While viewing the SCALE from the front, left to right, the following applies to these buttons:
•
LEFT Button - kg/lbs Select the weight measurement display in kilograms (kg), or pounds (lbs).
•
CENTER Button - Operate Take the weight measurement
•
RIGHT Button - Zero Used to zero out the sling/ hanger weight, not to be included with the
patient's weight
The readout is digital and provides weight in increments of 0.1 kilograms and 0.1 pounds.
The patient's weight will be displayed for a period of approximately 60 seconds.
The SCALE will provide up to 3000 weight readings from a single 9-Volt battery.
2. INSTALLATION OF THE SCALE
LIFTEM is setup to lift patients weighing up to 700 pounds. To accomplish this, two LIFTING
POINTS are provided on the BOOM of LIFTEM to which the LIFTING BAR can be attached. The
outer most LIFT POINT capacity is 600 pounds. The capacity of the LIFT POINT positioned inward
on the BOOM underside, is 700 pounds.
When using the scale, it is assembled to the appropriate LIFT POINT of the BOOM, between that
LIFT POINT and the LIFTING BAR. See figure # 2, which shows the scale positioned at the 600
pound LIFT POINT. Installation of the SCALE follows:
a)
Remove the LIFTING BAR or STRETCHER SLING SYSTEM from the LIFT POINT by
unbolting the shoulder bolt/self locking nut assembly or removing the PUSH TO RELEASE PIN.
b) Install the SCALE to the LIFT POINT so that the readout is facing outward, away from the MAST
of LIFTEM.
•
An ANCHOR SHACKLE/SCREW PIN or a PUSH TO RELEASE PIN is used to mount/connect
the SCALE to the BOOM.
