Seca 220 User manual

Congratulations!
In the seca 220 measuring rod, you have
acquired an accurate and at the same time
sturdy rod for measuring the height of chil-
dren and adults.
It is manufactured from stable, easy-care
aluminium profile.The measuring slide is
made of plastic and can be folded.
The seca 220 measuring rod is for measur-
ing height and thus for assessing the state
of health of patients and for detecting and
monitoring pathological nutritional or other
physiological disorders.
It is attached to the column of seca column
scales using the assembly material sup-
plied.
In combination with a scale, therefore, the
measuring rod serves as a complete meas-
uring and weighing station.
The seca 220 measuring rod is used with a
seca column scale primarily in hospitals,
general practice and measuring and nurs-
ing facilities on wards.
Safety
Before using the new measuring rod,
please take a little time to read the following
saftey instructions:
• Follow the operating instructions.
• Attach the measuring rod only to seca
column scales.
• Use the assembly material supplied.
• When assembling,ensure that screws
are tight and that the rod has been as-
sembled correctly (see chapter entitled
“Assembly instructions ”).
• Fold down the measuring slide after
height has been measured to avoid the
risk of injury.
Assembly instructions
1. Screw the fixing block to the rear (on mod-
els 711/712:
front
) of the column using
two screws. Tighten the screws just far
enough so that the block can still be
moved.
2. Measure from the floor (on models 711/
712:
from the platform
) to the bottom
edge of the fixing block.
3. Move the fixing block until the appropri-
ate height (see diagrams) is set and then
tighten up the screws.

4. Screw the measuring rod to the fixing
block. The measuring slide and the scale
point away from the weighing platform
on seca models 709, 710, 709f and 710f
and
towards the weighing platform
on all
other models:

Fine adjustment
If you want to set your measuring rod exactly:
1. Set measuring slide to a value, e.g.
150 cm.
2. Using another meas-
uring rod, measure
the difference from
the platform (models
709, 710, 709f, 710f:
from the floor
) to the
measuring slide and
note the difference.
3. Unscrew the measur-
ing rod from the fixing
block.
4. Slightly loosen the
screws of the fixing
block, move it up or
down a little depend-
ing on the difference
and screw it tight
again.
5. Screw measuring rod
back onto fixing
block.
6. Check height again
and correct if necessary.
Operation
How to measure properly...
1. Engage measuring slide in the horizontal

by pressing on
it
• push measur-
ing slide down-
wards
• read-off mark

3. The person to be measured positions
him or herself under the measuring
slide.The back and head must be
straight.
4. The measuring slide is pushed onto the
head to that the measuring slide abuts
without bending.
5. Read off body height at the read-off
mark.
If the above-mentioned instructions are
followed, accuracy greater than ± 5 mm
can be achieved.
Cleaning
Clean the measuring rod as required using

Warranty
A two-year warranty from date of delivery
applies to defects attributable to poor ma-
terials or workmanship. All moveable parts
- batteries, cables, mains units, rechargea-
ble batteries etc. - are excluded. Defects
which come under warranty will be made
good for the customer at no charge on pro-
duction of the receipt. No further claims can
be entertained. The costs of transport in
both directions will be borne by the custom-
er should the equipment be located any-
where other than the customer’s premises.
In the event of transport damage, claims
under warranty can be honoured only if the
complete original packaging was used for
any transport and the scale secured and at-
tached in that packaging just as it was
when originally packed. All the packaging
should therefore be retained.
A claim under warranty will not be honoured
if the equipment is opened by persons not
expressly authorised by seca to do so.
We would ask our customers abroad to
contact their local sales agent in the event
of a warranty matter.
