SPECIFICATIONS
General
The 2500KL and 2600KLscales use highly sophisticated microprocessor technology. Each
precision scale is designed to provide accurate, reliable, and repeatable weight measurements.
In addition, each scale is designed to provide the user with features that make the weighing
process simple, fast, and convenient.
These scales are set up to use motion-sensing weighing technology in order to determine the
actual weight of a moving patient.
Weight can be displayed in pounds (lb) or in kilograms (kg). These scales feature a 180° swivel
display head for privacy and for easy operator reading from either side of the scale. For easy
mobility, the 2500KL Scale has 2 built-in wheels, along with the 2600KL Scale with 4 built-in
wheels. Each scale can be powered using an AC adapter (ADPT30 included), or by 6 - AA
batteries (not included).
