•Insert the two hexagonal headed screws from the hardware pack
into the holes in the front of the column and tighten slightly.
•Place both the height rod clamping brackets over the two pre-
installed hexagonal headed screws and pull it down.
•Use the included wrench to tighten both the screws. Do not over
tighten the screws.
A. Latch to lock/unlock the
measuring arm
B. The measuring arm
C. The inner height rod
D. The outer height rod
E. Two height rod clamping brackets
for fixing the height rods assembly to
the column. One hexagonal headed
screw is required for each bracket.
4. MEASURING HEIGHT
Preparing the scale to measure the height-
•Before the person steps onto the scale platform, the measuring arm
should be lifted to the horizontal position, and raised well above the
person’s apparent height.
•The person may now step onto the scale platform.
•The measuring arm should be held horizontal and above the
person’s head and should not be released.
•Carefully lower the measuring arm, while keeping it horizontal, until
it rests gently upon the top of the person’s head. If the person is
shorter than 101.5 cm, push the latch to the right, while

simultaneously pushing down the measuring arm until it rests
horizontally upon the top of the person’s head.
Read the height of the person as follows:
•The rear end of the measuring arm is tapered to point at the reading
on the height rods.
•If the tapered end of the measuring arm points at the outer height
rod, then the height of the person is same as the reading at this
point on the outer height rod.
•If the tapered end of the measuring arm points at the inner height
rod, then the correct height of the person is same as the reading
shown on the inner height rod where both the height rod meets, i.e.,
read at the top of the outer height rod (Just above the “Read” arrow
marked on the outer height rod).
•While holding the measuring arm horizontally, raise the arm above
the person’s head. The person maynow step off the scale platform.
Hold the arm horizontal until the person is clear of the height rod.
•Fold the measuring arm back to the vertical position and adjust the
height rod back to the rest position (i.e. the measuring arm should
be locked in place within the inner height rod and the inner rod
should be at its lowest position).

5. WEIGHING OPERATION
To do the zero setting-
•For accurate weighing, place the scale on a levelled floor.
•Move both the balancing masses to zero when the scale platform
is empty.
•If the scale is balanced, the lever will be in the horizontal position.
This will be indicated by the arrow indicator being in line with the
horizontal mark on the right side of the column head.
•It may be necessary to turn the zero-setting screw to the right or
left until the scale balances.
