Assembly
Dismantle packaging and foil carefully. Weighing platforms are equipped with castors and a handle for easy
transport.
(1) Move the scale to the place of use.
(2) Connect both platforms to each other with the connecting cable.
(3) Connect the indicator with the corresponding cable to the jack connector at one of the weighing platforms.
(4) Connect the attached mains adapter to the indicator.
(5) Afterwards connect the mains adapter to the socket. The rechargeable batteries need 24 hours power
supply to achieve full battery load.
(6) Start the scale by pressing the ON key.
(7) The scale is ready to use
(8) Follow the steps under the chapter “Operations”.
Po er supply
Power is supplied either by the rechargeable battery in the display unit or by the mains power via the supplied
power unit. The imprinted voltage value at the mains adapter must match the mains voltage at the place of
use. Connect the mains cable to the indicator and to a socket.
The wall socket must be located near to the unit and be easily accessible. Please use only the mains adapter
supplied by ADE. The mains adapter is charging the battery pack during normal operation.

4 M601020-210322-Rev00 -UM-e
When the battery is being charged for the first time a sufficient charging period of approx. 24 hours is neces-
sary to achieve a full battery load.
If the unit is in battery mode and the display indicates – Lo, the battery needed to be recharged with the mains
adapter. For a full battery load a charging period of 12-16 hours is required with the scale being switched off.
If–Lo still appears at the display inform your service partner.
Replacing the rechargeable battery
The battery compartment is located on the front of the unit.
1) Open the battery compartment.
2) Remove the battery cables carefully from the housing, connect the wires (red to red, black to black) and
insert the battery into the housing.
3) Close the battery compartment again.
Only use original rechargeable batteries and charger units from ADE. The warranty does not cover any dam-
age caused by using other types of batteries or charger units.
Tips for handling the batteries
The life of a battery depends essentially on the load, frequency of use, temperatures, settings and the acces-
sories used.
– New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods require a longer charging period.
– Charge the batteries at room temperature.
– Never expose the batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
– Rechargeable batteries lose their charging capacity over the time and require a longer charging period
the older they are. If the battery performance drops considerably, then it is time to replace the battery.
– New batteries are supplied in partial charged condition. Batteries achieve their full capacity after several
complete charge and discharge cycles.
– Do not throw old rechargeable batteries into the domestic waste. Ensure that the valid legal and munici-
pal regulations of your country are being followed.
– Never dispose of batteries in fire as they can leak or explode!

Operation
Modes of operation
 Weighing mode
The "weighing mode" is of course the standard mode of your scale. After initial configuration and sealing (by
attaching a calibration sticker to the back of the unit), the ADE-scale can only be operated in this mode.
 Setting mode
Date, time and consecutive numbers for print commands are being set in this mode. To start setting mode,
hold the GROSS/NET key pressed until TIME appears on the display.
 Configuration mode (set-up mode)
The values for different parameters including the calibration could be set in the configuration mode. This func-
tion is for authorized service personnel only.
 Test mode
There are different diagnostic functions for the ADE-MAK in test mode. This is for service personnel only.
Manipulations to test and configuration modes can revoke the calibration status and ill result
in loss of arranty!
Before eighing
1. Move the wheels of the bed onto the weighing platforms.
2. The constructions do not allow to pass over the weighing platform. In any case ensure that the wheels of
the bed are secured and the brakes are engaged.
3. Switch on the scale.
4. An automatic function test will lead to zero indication (0.0). The weight of the bed is being ignored auto-
matically.
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 un-
der 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”

8 M601020-210322-Rev00 -UM-e
8. The indicator is now giving the weight of the bed.
. To evaluate the weight of the patient please follow the instructions on page 7 chapter Use of the scale
section to take patient’s eight.
10. Place each of the platforms in front of the wheels of the bed.
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 ( ) 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 ( ) 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 PRESET TARA value:
Press the PRESET TARE key (10). "Pt x" appears on the display. Enter a number from 0- (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 eight, net eight 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.

M601020-210322-Rev00 -UM-e
Determining the Body Mass Index (BMI)
The BMI figure is an index showing the ratio between height and weight.
To determine this value you need the height of the person.
Start the scale and weigh the person following the steps under weighing. Then
press the BMI key (11) to start BMI mode. The last value entered appears on the
display. Use the numerical key pad to enter a new value for the height (in cm) or retain the value, which is
already been displayed. Confirm the value entered with the ENTER key or delete same by using the CLEAR
key. After the entry has been confirmed by the ENTER key, the BMI value will be calculated using the weight
on the scales. The display changes between weight value and BMI value "b xx.x" (every two seconds) for a
period of 3 minutes. Press the BMI key (11) to cancel before this time has expired.
Evaluating Body Mass Index
Print out a record
The scales must be at standstill, e.g. standstill status display  (14) appears at the screen.
Press the ENTER key (13) to send the data to the serial interface.
Note: Printing is not possible if the net weight is 0. The print function only produces one print-out. A reset is
required to print out another copy.
Care, servicing and recalibration
Cleaning
Remove the mains plug before cleaning the unit. Do not use any aggressive cleaning materials for cleaning;
only use a damp cloth or conventional disinfectant. Ensure that no liquids or any fluid gets into the scale.
