Digital BMI Physician Scale
w/ Height Rod
USER MANUAL

• This is a Digital Physician Weighing Scale with Body Mass Index (BMI) readout.
• It is an accurate electronic device with advanced design and stable performance.
• It is designed to measure the weight of a person and compute the BMI index once the
known height of a person is entered via the Indicator
• Do not dismantle the weighing machine without following the necessary instructions.
• Do not jump while standing on the platform. This may damage the sensor inside.
• Do not move the weighing machine violently and abruptly. It is recommended to move
and put down the weighing machine gently.
• It is suggested to wipe the stains with soft cloth soaked with detergent and to wipe
later with soft cloth too. Do not use organic solutions and boiled water to wipe the
stains. Do not use water for cleaning.
• Keep the weighing machine in a dry and clean environment. Do not expose it outdoor
or use it in locations near fire, under direct sunshine or with high temperature.
• When lifting the height meter, it is suggested to pull it straight along the pipe without
using excessive force.

1. Position the Physician Scale on an even floor and press the ON/OFF key.
2. The instrument performs a self-test after which it is ready for operation.
3. Press the ON/OFF key and the machine switches off.
4. The person to be weighed can sit on to the chair once the scale shows 0.0 on the display.
The weight will be display in Kg. or lb. depending on the units chosen by the user.
5. If the weighing value is to be tared press the tare key to remove the weight value from the display.
6. Press the UNIT key for changing the weighing unit to kg or lb. The LED will indicate the
chosen weighing unit.
7. Overload display: When “FULL” appears on the display, it shows that the load on the chair
is over the maximum capacity. Under these circumstances, it is necessary to reduce the load
otherwise the sensor or the chair will be damaged.
8. Hold Function: To lock the weighing result, press the PRINT/HOLD key. The LED will flash
until a stable reading has been obtained and then it will light up constantly. The weight will
be displayed until the hold time has expired (see Sec 6.0) or to manually release the function,
press the PRINT/HOLD key again.
9. Print Function: To send the weighing result to a printer or computer press the
PRINT/HOLD key when the PRINT/HOLD key has been set up in the parameter section to
work as print function.
1. While measuring the height, it is necessary to pull up the measuring board at a right angle
with the inside tube.
2. When the tube is pulled out straight, it is sufficient to measure the height from
24"-45.5" / 60-115cm. The number can be obtained upon the conjoint place where the upper
part of middle tube screw meets with the inside tube scale.
3. Further, if the middle tube is pulled out straight, it is possible to measure the height from
45.5"- 83" / 115-212cm. The reading can be obtained at the conjoint place where the upper
part of outside tube screw meets with the middle tube scale.
1. Once the height has been determined it is possible to enter the height reading into the display
ready for the scale to compute the BMI.
2. Press and hold the UNIT/BMI key to enter the BMI mode. The display will show the last height
value used, or depending on which weighing unit you are currently using.
3. The height entry unit (in. or cm) will be flashing to show you which unit you are currently in, use
the Up arrow key to change the height entry unit between in. to cm as required
4. Enter your height using the arrow keys, the PRINT/HOLD will increment the flashing digit, the
right arrow, the UNIT/BMI key, will move the flashing digit to the adjacent digit.
5. Press the TARE key to confirm the value.
6. The display will now show the BMI based on the current weight on the scale and the height entered.
7. Press the UNIT/BMI key to exit the BMI mode and return to normal weighing.
8. The Hold function will work as described above whilst in the BMI mode.

MEASURING HEIGHT
MEASURING BMI (BODY MASS INDEX)

Before calibrating the scale, you should ensure that you have a suitable known weight for calibration.
CALIBRATION
8.
1. When in normal weighing mode with the scale at zero press and hold down TARE and ON/OFF
keys to enter the calibration mode.
2. If the calibration switch is in the off position on the main PCB inside the scale, the indicator will
show and then exit this mode. If the indicator shows , the scale is ready
for calibration.
3. When the indicator shows , press the TARE key to confirm and go to next step, or
press the ON/OFF key to exit the calibration mode.
4. When is displayed the scale will begin to calibrate the scale’s zero-point. Ensure that
there is no load or weight on the scale’s chair. Press the TARE key to confirm, or press the ON/
OFF key to exit this mode.
5. A few seconds after the TARE key has been pressed in step 4 the scale will show and
the kg LED, or and the lb LED depending on which unit you chosen, this is the
default calibration weight from the factory. Press the UNIT key to select the calibration weight
unit that you want to calibrate in. Press the ON/OFF key to exit the calibration mode at this
point or press the PRINT/HOLD key to choose a different calibration weight value (50kg,
100kg, 150kg, 200kg, 250kg, 300kg or 100lb, 200lb, 300lb, 400lb, 500lb, 600lb); Then put on
the weight that you selected and press the TARE key to confirm the chosen standard weight
that was selected earlier. The displayed data will flash on the display and if the scale accepts
the calibration data it will calculate and store the information into the EEPROM. If an error has
occurred, the scale will display and return back to step 4 for re-calibration. If the
loaded weight is not within the range of 95% to 105% of the weight value you selected, the
scale will not calibrate but display and return back to step 4 for re-calibration.)
6. Check the calibration by putting the weight that you calibrated at back on the scale, if it is off
repeat the calibration process again.

7.
1. When the scale is in normal weighing mode, press and hold down the ON/OFF key and the
UNIT key for 3 seconds until ‘Setup’ is shown on the display.
2. When in the SETUP mode, press the PRINT/HOLD key to change the flashing digits, and TARE
key to confirm the flashing digits and move to the next parameter setting. Press the ON/OFF
key to exit the set up mode.

DB9 Female
RXD Pin 3
TXD Pin 2
GND Pin 5
NOTE: Pins 1,4,6,7,8 & 9 are not connected.
NOTE: The RS232 function will not operate if PH has been set to 0 or 2.
(See User Parameters on Page 7.)
2. RS232 Function Parameter Settings (See User Parameters on Page 7)
0 No RS232 function. It will not transmit or receive any data although the scale is equipped with
RS232. The RS232 function can be only activated when scale is in normal weighing mode.
1 Continuous output of the current displayed reading and unit, and it does not receive any data.
The output format is one of the below:
<LF>< reading, minus, decimal point, weight unit>GR<CR><EXT>
<LF>< reading, minus, decimal point, weight unit>NT<CR><EXT>
2 Manually outputs display data when PRINT is pressed. The output format is one of the below:
<LF>< reading, minus, decimal point, weight unit>GR<CR><EXT>
<LF>< reading, minus, decimal point, weight unit>NT<CR><EXT>
3 The baud rate and data format are fixed with responses to serial commands being within 300
milliseconds. One second should be adequate for use as a time-out value by remote device.
3. Weight Field
The length of the weight field will be 7 digit weight data, one for minus sign, one for decimal
point, two for measure unit (e.g. “lb”, “kg”). Units of measure abbreviations are always lower case.
If the weight is overcapacity, the scale will return nine ‘^’ characters (the field of minus sign,
decimal point, weight data is filled by ‘^’).
If the weight is under capacity, it will return nine ‘-’ characters (the field of minus sign, decimal
point, and weight data is filled by ‘_’).
If the zero point has an error, it will return nine ‘-’ characters.
The character will be ‘-’ for negative weight or a space character for positive weight. Minus sign
follows after the first digit.
Useless leading zeroes before digits are suppressed.
