Congratulations
In purchasing the seca 725 baby scale, you
have acquired a highly-accurate and yet
sturdy piece of equipment.
seca has been putting its experience at the
service of health for over 50 years, and as
market leader in many countries of the
world, is always setting new standards with
its innovative weighing and measuring de-
velopments.
The seca 725 mechanical baby scale is de-
signed for use in hospitals and paediatric
practices.
The scale consists of a metal housing and
tray with a white finish.
These are easy to clean and ensure that the
baby can be weighed safely on the scale.
The seca 725 also has an easy-to-read
sliding weight bar with 5 g / 1/4 oz gradua-
tions.
Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a
little time to read the following safety in-
structions.
• Follow the instructions for use.
• Never leave an infant on the scale un-
supervised.
•Ensure that the tray is cleaned and disin-
fected regularly to avoid infectious dis-
eases being passed on.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to vi-
olent shocks.
• Have repairs carried out solely by au-
thorised persons.

ing weights.
Retain this for further transport operations.
3. Secure sliding weight bar
Secure the sliding weight bar by tilting the
locking device downwards.
4. Place tray on scale

The locking levers must engage under the
housing.
5. Attach tray

6. Release lock
7. Approximate taring
For the scale to display the correct weight,
it must first be set to 0 kg/lbs.
To do so, push both sliding weights on the
sliding weight bar to 0. If the hand and
counter-hand do not line up, the 0 value
must be set using the tare weight. To do so,
undo the knurled nut (see Fig. 8) and push
the tare weight onto the rod until the hand
and counter-hand line up.

8. Fixing the tare weight in position
Fix the tare weight in position using the
knurled nut. Objects on the tray such as
pads etc. weighing up to 3000 g / 6.6 lbs
can be tared using the tare weight.
9. Fine adjustment
The hand and counter-hand can be set ex-
actly by turning the fine taring screw. To do
so, the fine taring screw is turned to the
right or left until the hand and counter-hand
line up exactly.
Operation
Once the scale has been prepared as de-
scribed in the section entitled “Set up and
align scale”, you can start weighing. Place
the infant in the tray and first slide the large
sliding weight to approximately the right
weight.
Now use the small sliding weight to deter-
mine the exact weight. To do so, slide the
small sliding weight along until hand and
counter-hand line up.
Read the weight value off the scale on the
sliding weight bar.
Cleaning
Clean the housing and the tray as required
using a domestic cleaning agent or com-
mercially-available disinfectant. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

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 custo-
mer 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.
