6 Basic Information (General)
6.1 Proper use
These scales are used to determine the body weight in upright position.
The weighed person should be positioned in the middle of the scale pan and stand
still.
As soon as a stable weighing value is reached the weighing value can be read.
The scales are designed for long-term usage.
Determination of the body weight.
Use as „non-standalone weighing scale“, that is, the person carefully stands in the
middle of the scale pan.. Once a steady display value is shown, you can read the
weight value.
The weighing platform may only be stepped on by persons
capable of standing on both feet on the weighing platform.
The weighing platforms are fitted with an anti-slip surface that must not be covered
during weighing a person.
The balance should be checked for correct condition prior to each utilisation by a
person familiar with proper operation of the balance.
