Congratulations
In purchasing the seca 745 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 150 years,
and as market leader in many countries of
the world, is always setting new standards
with its innovative weighing and measuring
developments.
The seca 745 mechanical baby scale is
designed 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 745 also has an easy-to-read
sliding weight bar with 10 g graduations.

1. Remove packaging
Open the cardboard box and remove the
tray and scale.
Safety
Before using the new scale, please take
a little time to read the following safety
instructions.
• Follow the instructions for use.
• Never leave an infant on the scale
unsupervised.
• Ensure that the tray is cleaned and
disinfected regularly to avoid infectious
diseases being passed on.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to
violent shocks.
• Have repairs carried out solely by
authorised persons.
• Have servicing and re-calibration carried
out at regular intervals.

2. Remove transport securing device
Remove the O-ring which secures the sliding
weights.
Retain this for further transport operations.
4. Place tray on scale
Place the tray centrally on the scale.
The locking levers must engage under the
housing.
6. Release lock
3. Secure sliding weight bar
Secure the sliding weight bar by tilting the
locking device downwards.
5. Attach tray
Attach the tray to the scale by pressing down
the locking levers.
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.

9. Fine adjustment
The hand and counter-hand can be set
exactly 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.
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 can be
tared using the tare weight.
Operation
Once the scale has been prepared as
described 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
determine 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
commercially-available disinfectant. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions.

What do I do if…
… no weight is displayed when a load is
placed on the scale?
• transport locking lever (see Fig. 6)
has not been released
• transport securing device, i.e. the
O-ring, has not been removed.
Servicing
Have the scale serviced and re-calibrated at
4-year intervals. Servicing and re-calibration
may be carried out solely by authorised
persons. Contact your Service Partner or
seca Customer Service.
Disposal
If the scale can no longer be used, the
responsible waste disposal association
will be glad to provide information about
the measures necessary to dispose of it
properly.
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.
