General Information
Scale Description
The Maxi Move scale makes it possible to
weigh patients during a transfer. The load cell is
attached to the jib. The scale is comprised in
part of a digital load cell, meaning all the analog
to digital conversion is performed internally
within the load cell. The load cell then sends the
information to the main board over a RS-485
bus, in ASCII format. Finally, the information is
displayed on the handset.
Verified scale
Each Maxi Move KMCQAQis equipped with a
scale that has been verified, and whose
gravitational code has been set for the specific
location where it will be used. The lift has a
scale marking label (see Fig.1) on the control
tower, above the handset door. This is the
official mark for the scale verification.
Fig.1
The verified scale also has its tilt sensor
enabled, which means that the display will go
blank if the angle of the load cell is greater than
3 degrees (in the horizontal plane). In addition,
the verified scale can only be used with the units
of measurement set to “kg”.
The scale is sealed by an electronic seal. Within
the load cell, there are two electronic counters: a
calibration counter and a gravity counter. Each
time an operation changes the value of the
calibration or of the gravity code, the
corresponding counter is automatically
incremented, without any possibility of being
reset. On the scale marking label, there are
actually two labels: a calibration label and a
gravity label. These labels are applied at the
factory and/or at the distribution centers and
have the same value of the calibration and
gravity counters. If the values of the counter and
label don’t match, this means that an
unauthorized change has been performed to the
scale configuration. In that case, the verification
becomes void.
If, after the initial distribution to the customer,
the following actions need to be performed, the
scale must be subsequently verified by an
authorized notified body:
• changing the load cell
• removing and replacing the same load cell
on the jib
• calibrating the load cell
• changing the gravity code
An up-to-date list of available notified bodies in
Europe can be found at the following address:
List of European Notified Bodies.
(http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/newapproach/
nando/index.cfm?fuseaction=na.main)
Under “Directive”, click on 90/384/EEC, Non-
Automatic Weighing instruments.
Note: When performing these operations,
carefully note them in the metrological
logbook.
Note: When changing the main circuit
board or the handset, there’s no need to
have the scale verified.

5
General Information
Non-Verified scale
Each Maxi Move KMC*U* is equipped with a
non-verified scale. Although the load cell is
identical to a verified scale, the verification
process is less complex. These scales don’t need
to be certified by an authorized notified body
and don’t use the software seal system as do
verified scales. Also, the verification and
calibration can be carried out by an ARJO
technician. The scale marking labels for these
units are located on the mast, behind the battery
pack (see Fig.2).
Fig.2
The tilt sensor is disabled for non-verified scales
and the units of measurement can be set either to
“kg” or “lb”.
Note: For scale operation instructions,
see the scale section in the Operating and
Product Care Instruction manual for the
Maxi Move floor lift.

Service Procedures
SP1-Counter Verification
(Verified Scale Only)
Using the handset, enter the “Gravity Code” menu and look for the calibration counter value and the
gravity counter value.
STEP 1
To display the
Hoist Status
Screen, press
both operating
buttons at the
same time.

STEP 2
Once in the Hoist
Status screen,
press on the
enter button.

STEP 3
Press the down
button three
times to find the
Gravity Codes
settings.
Fig.5
STEP 4
To return to
normal scale
function, press
the exit button.
Fig.6
Compare both values to the ones on the scale
marking label. If there is a difference, this means
an unauthorized change has been performed on
the calibration and/or the gravitational code. The
scale is not longer valid and must be verified by
a notified body.
A new label must also be applied to match the
values stored in the counter within the load cell.
Label sheets for the scale may be ordered as
spare parts (#001-25061).

Changing the Gravity Code
If the scale’s gravity code needs to be changed (for examplae, the lift needs to be moved to a
different region or country), follow these instructions:
1) Access to the “Gravity Configuration Mode”:
• With the handset, push down simultaneously on both buttons just below the display, as
well as the DPS “recline” button (see figure below). While keeping the buttons pressed,
turn the unit on by pressing on the main switch and hold the buttons down until a beep is
heard.
2) Adjust the gravity code:
• After 10 seconds, the display will indicate the gravity code with
which the unit was initially verified, or the code the unit is presently
configured with (e.g. 00).
• Use the list of codes by country found in the gravity adjustment table
(page 17) to identify which code to configure the instrument with.
• To modify the displayed code, use the following buttons:
Note: Changing the gravity code will void the certification and the scale will need to
be verifying by an authorized notified body before being put back in service.

Service Procedures SP2-Gravity Code Change
• Confirm the selected code with the following button:
• For codes 00-98, the configuration is complete. WAIT 5 SECONDS, and then shut off the
instrument.
• Code 99 permits the gravity configuration for a location specified by a known elevation and
latitude. When the code list indicates that a code 99 should be used, or a location is
undetermined in the gravity adjustment table, use the Google Earth application to determine the
latitude and altitude.
• Get on the internet at the following address:
http://www.google.com/intl/en/earth/download/ge/
• Locate and click the “Download Google Earth 6” button (or newer version if available).
• After the download is completed, install the application on your computer following
instructions on the screen.
• Run the application and get into the “Tool” menu then, select “Option” from the drop-down
list.

Service Procedures SP3-Scale verification
SP3-Scale verification
For Verified Scales
1) Attach a spreader and a sling that is
suitable to hold the calibration weight to
the Maxi Move.
2) Press the power button on the Maxi Move
to zero the scale.
3) Add weight to the sling. It is
recommended that at least five readings
from 0 to 225 kg for standard jibs and
0 kg to 130 kg for extended jibs are
performed. The five reading must be
spread evenly throughout the entire
range.
4) For each weight, note the value on the
display.
5) Gradually remove the weight and check
the zero value at the end.
Values must be between the following limits:
If the scale is beyond the tolerance range, it
must be recalibrated and re-verified by a
notified body (see “Calibration” section).
For Non-Verified Scales
The same procedure can by applied for a
non-verified scale. However, if the scale is
beyond the tolerance range, it can be
recalibrated by an Arjo technician without
the involvement of a notified body.
Note: ARJO technicians can perform a
verification to check if the scale meets
all the needed requirements, but this
has no legal value in Europe. Only an
authorized notified body can make the
verification and provide a mark of
approval. However, it is recommended
that ARJO technicians perform a
verification after the calibration, to be
sure the calibration is correct before the
notified body performs the final check.
Note: Scale tolerances in service
depend on each country. Usually, twice
(2x) the permissible error of the initial
verification is allowed (Refer to TAN C-
32-2008-BE for more information about
local regulations).
Note: It is recommended to use certified
weights for the scale verification (Class
M1 or F).
Note: The notified body inspection
might involve more verifications than
those listed in this section. The test in
this section is intended to give a good
indication if the scale will pass a re-
verification.
