1. Congratulations!
Your purchase of this integrated measure-
ment station seca 763 means you have a
high-precision and sturdy electronic body
height and body weight measuring instru-
ment. seca has been putting its experi-
ence at the service of health for over 150
years now, and as market leader in many
countries of the world, is always setting
new standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
The integrated seca 763 measurment
station is primarily used in accordance
with national regulations in hospitals, doc-
tor's practices and health care centers.
The integration of electronic scales and
electronic height measurement in one
deivce means the seca 763 is particularly
suitable where weighing and measuring
must be carried out where little space is
available. The data measured can be con-
verted at the push of a button into a Body
Mass Index. The telescoping design used
for the height measurement unit as well as
the retractable head slide allows the de-
vice to be easily moved on the built-in cas-
tors.
The sturdy design and intelligent power
management system ensure a long period
of maintenance-free service so that the
device can be used for years to come. Op-
eration is easy with two large displays al-
lowing weight and height to be read out
simultaneously.
2. Safety

Body Mass Index (BMI)
The Body Mass Index compares body size with body weight while also allowing more pre-
cise information to be determined for ideal body weight according to Broca. A tolerance
range is given which is considered ideal for health.
By using the integrated measurement station seca 763 you can have the Body Mass In-
dex calculated directly from the size measured and the measured weight. Please follow
these steps.

After you have determined that the pa-
tient is standing up straight and the
head slide is correctly positioned, then
please push the DATA VALID button.
This marks the height measurement as
a valid value for the Body Mass Index
calculation.
– Push the head slide back up.
–Now read the weight value in the
weight display.
–Press the FUNC key. The measured
height which is marked as valid now
appears in the display. Push the kg/
lbs/sts buttons (raise the value) or
HOLD/TARE (lower the value) if you

Evaluating Body Mass Index for adults:
Compare the value determined with the categories quoted below which correspond to
those used by WHO, 2000.
• BMI below 18.5:
Warning, this patient weighs too little. There could be a tendency to anorexia. An in-
crease in weight is recommended to improve well-being and performance. If in doubt,
consult a specialist.
• BMI between 18.5 and 24.9:
The patient is of a normal weight. He can stay as he his.
• BMI between 25 and 30 (pre-obese):
The patient is slightly to moderately overweight. The patient should lose weight if a pre-
vious illness exists (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, lipid disorders).
• BMI over 30:
Weight reduction is essential. Metabolism, cardiovascular system and bones are all un-
der strain. A consistent diet, plenty of exercise and behavioural training are all recom-
mended. If in doubt, consult a specialist.
6. Care and cleaning
When needed, clean the device with a household cleaning agent or other common disin-
fectant. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

feet should be in contact with the floor.
… one segment is illuminated constantly or not at all?
– The relevant segment has a fault. Inform Servicing.
… St0P appears in the weight display?
– Maximum load has been exceeded.
… the weight display is blinking?
–If you have just activated the Hold or Tare function, please wait until the scales have
detected a steady weight value. The display will then stop flashing.
–If there has been no activation of a function beforehand, remove the load from the
scales and wait until 0.0 is displayed, then weigh again.
… the display appears?
–The ambient temperature of the device is too high or too low. Place the device where
the ambient temperature is between +10 ˚C and +40 ˚C. Wait about 15 minutes until
the device has adjusted to the ambient temperature and weigh again.
… the display and a number appear?
–Use the Start button to switch off the device and start again. After this the device will
function normally.
–If this is not the case, disconnect the power supply by briefly unplugging the AC adap-
tor. If this measure is equally unsuccessful, inform the Service department.

Insert the Allen key supplied in the rec-
tangular hole on the end of the measu-
ring rod as shown in the illustration and
tighten up the screw for the measuring
rod guide clockwise.
The measuring rod with the head stop
should remain freely mobile, but not be
able to slide down on its own.
Then stand the scale upright again.

12. Warranty
A two-year warranty from date of delivery
applies to defects attributable to poor ma-
terials or workmanship. All moveable parts
- batteries, cables, AC adaptors, re-
chargeable 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 equip-
ment be located anywhere other than the
customer’s premises. Warranty claims for
damage during transport can only be en-
forced if the complete original packaging
was used in transit and the goods con-
tained are secured and fixed into position
in their original condition. All the packaging
should therefore be retained.
A claim under warranty will not be hon-
oured if the equipment is opened by per-
sons 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.
