SPECIFICATIONS FOR THIS SCALE
General
The Model 3001KL-AM/3001KL-AMC digital scale uses highly sophisticated
microprocessor technology. Each precision scale is designed to provide accurate,
reliable and repeatable weight measurements. This scale uses motion-sensing
weighing technology in order to determine the actual weight of a moving patient.
Although the patient’s weight can be displayed in either pounds (LB) or in kilograms
(KG), the scale can be “locked” such that the user cannot change the displayed Unit of
Measurement (UOM).
Note: The 3001KL-AM/3001KL-AMC scale is shipped from the factory locked in “KG”
mode. Refer to Page 13 to learn more about configuring the scale.
Antimicrobial Powder Coating
Unique to the 3001KL-AM/3001KL-AMC scale, the handrails and transport handle have
been fabricated with a permanent, antimicrobial powder coating. The antimicrobial
coating utilizes silver ionic technology to inhibit the growth of microbes.
This scale can be powered using 6 AA batteries (included). An optional 120V Adapter
is available in USA only, ADPT30. Note: Use of AC adapter not available on 3001KL-AMC model.

Weighing a Patient
1. Make sure there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to power the scale on.
3. Wait until the “0.0” LB or “0.0” KG appears on the display.
4. Ask the patient to step on the scale. The scale will begin to display weight information
and will lock on the patient’s weight when the stable weight of the patient is determined.
Depending on the movement of the patient on the scale, it may take several seconds for
the scale to lock onto the weight.
5. The weight may be held on the display by pressing the HOLD/RELEASE button. To
release, press the HOLD/RELEASE button again.
6. After the weight measurement has been taken and is recorded, have the patient step
off the scale. Press the ON/OFF button to power the scale off.
Weight Recall
1. The last weight reading on the scale can be recalled by pressing the RECALL button.
To clear the display of the recalled weight, press the ENTER button.
Note: Clearing the recalled weight from the display will not clear the recalled weight
from memory. The recalled weight will remain in memory until another weight is
obtained.
