Congratulations!
In the seca 222 measuring rod, you have
acquired an accurate and at the same time
sturdy rod for measuring the height of
children and adults.
It is manufactured from stable, easy-care
aluminium profile. The measuring slide is
made of plastic and can be folded.
The scope of supply also includes a heel
plate and a measuring slide extender to
facilitate accurate measuring.
The seca 222 measuring rod is for measuring
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 wall using the assembly
material supplied.
The seca 222 measuring rod is used with a
seca column scale primarily in hospitals,
general practice and measuring and nursing
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 safe,
solid walls
• Use the assembly material supplied
• When assembling, ensure that screws are
tight and that the rod has been assembled
correctly (see chapter entitled “Assembly
instructions”)
• Fold down the measuring slide after height
has been measured to avoid the risk of
injury.
Assembly instructions

The scale stands on the ground after
fastening
• Expand the measuring rod until you can
insert the two fastening screws
• You select the distance of the measuring
rod to the wall with the number of spacers
on the screws. You must use at least one
washer for each of the two fixing points.
Attaching the heel stop
• The heel stop enclosed helps the person
carrying out the measurement to assume
the correct position. It is mounted with the
measuring rod.
• Before attaching the measuring rod to the
wall, insert the scale in the notch of the
heel stop.

• There is provision for enlarging the head
support surface.
Please note: to avoid damaging the scale
when in use, the heel stop must be supported
against the wall. Therefore you must attach
sufficient spacers behind the heel stop so
that the last one contacts the wall.

How to measure correctly…
1. Engage measuring slide in the horizontal
position for measuring.
3. The person to be measured stands with
his or her back to the measuring rod.
The back and head must be straight.

head to that the measuring slide abuts
without bending.

mark.
If the above-mentioned instructions are
followed, accuracy greater than +/- 5
mm can be achieved.

Warranty
A two-year warranty from date of delivery applies to
defects attributable to poor materials or workmanship.
All moveable parts – batteries, cables, mains units,
rechargeable batteries etc. – are excluded. Defects
which come under warranty will be made good for the
customer at no charge on production of the receipt. No
further claims can be entertained. The costs of
transport in both directions will be borne by the
customer should the equipment be located anywhere
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
attached 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.
