REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The SRV949 Portable Platform Scale is a low profile design, 2 in. height, which allows the animal
easy step access. The SRV949 Scale can be used in a fixed location or as a portable scale. The
Scale employs the latest in microprocessor and load cell technology to provide accurate and
repeatable weight data. Six (6) identically matched transducers are strategically placed to ensure
an accurate representation of the animal’s weight.
The animal’s weight is displayed on an LCD screen. With a push of a button, weight data may be
viewed in either pounds or kilograms.
INTENDED USE
The SRV949 Portable Platform Scale is a lightweight portable scale designed for use as a
weighing system for animals not exceeding 400 pounds or 182 kilograms, gross weight. Please
read the following warnings to avoid injury to the animal or attendant.
STORAGE and TRANSPORTATION
STORAGE
If storing this equipment for periods longer than three (3) months, remove the batteries. To
maintain proper operation of this instrument, storage and transport conditions should not vary
outside the following conditions: Relative Humidity 0% to 85%, Ambient Temperature 14F to
122F (-10C to +50C).
TRANSPORTATION
The SRV947 Portable Platform Scale has four (4) recessed handles on the underside of the scale

Wipe surface with clean soft cloth dampened with water and then dry with clean soft cloth.
Do not spray liquid directly onto interface surfaces. Use only a damp cloth.
To clean patient contact areas:
Rinse patient contact areas, keeping water away from the display / user interface. Pat dry
with a clean cloth, or allow to air dry.
DISINFECTION
Follow manufacturer’s instruction on the proper use of commercially available
disinfectants.
Disinfectant solutions with 1% sodium hypochlorite or 70% isopropyl alcohol are suitable
for display / user interface and other scale contact surfaces.
To disinfect the display / user interface:
Use a soft cloth dampened with disinfectant or a damp disposable disinfectant cloth. Cloth
cannot be dripping wet.
After disinfecting, use a soft cloth dampened with clean water and dry with a soft clean
cloth to prevent buildup of material on display.
Do not spray liquid directly onto interface surfaces. Use only a damp cloth.
To disinfect patient contact areas:
Apply disinfectant solution to patient contact areas, keeping excess moisture away from
the display / user interface.
Patient contact area should remain wet with disinfectant solution for six minutes. Pat dry
with a clean cloth, or allow to air dry.
WARNING: EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE LIQUID WILL DAMAGE USER
INTERFACE KEYPAD.
WARNING: DO NOT USE PRESSURIZED WATER OR STEAM. THE SCALE
SYSTEM CONTAINS ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS THAT MAY BE
ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY EXPOSURE TO SUCH AN
ENVIRONMENT.

BUTTON FUNCTIONS
ZERO/WEIGH
The “ZERO/WEIGH” button is used to zero the system before placing a
patient onto the scale system. Ensure that nothing is in contact with the
weighing surface during this procedure. The display will read “0.0 LB”(or
KG). The button also wakes up the display and shows the patient’s weight if it
should Auto Power Down before the weighing process is done.
HOLD/RECALL
The “HOLD/RECALL” button freezes the displayed weight and stores it away
in memory. Press “HOLD/RECALL” to store the weight into memory.
To recall last weight reading, press “HOLD/RECALL”button once scale has
shut down.
LB/KG
Weight data may be viewed in either pounds or kilograms. Pressing the
“LB/KG” button allows the operator to toggle between the two readings.
Pounds are displayed in a resolution of 0.2, kilograms are displayed in a
resolution of 0.1.

BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION
SETTING SYSTEM ZERO
Make sure the scale is free and clear of any obstructions. Press and hold the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button to zero the system. In a few seconds, the display will
read “0.0 LB”(or KG). It is recommended that the system be zeroed prior to each
new patient.
After the scale has been set to zero, position the patient on the scale. Display will indicate the
patient’s weight in either pounds or kilograms.
In this default mode, the weighing surface remains active. If scale shuts down, press the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button once to wake display and take reading.
HOLD/RECALL
The scale display is designed to automatically lock the reading on the display,
and store the reading in memory, once the weight is stable. If scale cannot lock
in reading due to patient movement, press the “HOLD/RECALL” button to
automatically lock the display and store the reading.
To return to WEIGH mode when finished, press the “ZERO/WEIGH” button once. The display
will become active.
Once the scale has shut down, the last stored weight can be recalled by pressing the
“HOLD/RECALL” button. Last stored weight will be displayed until the scale shuts down or the
“ZERO/WEIGH” button is pressed.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Portable Platform Scale contains six (6) AA alkaline 1.5-volt batteries. The low battery
indicator is displayed when the battery power is insufficient to power the scale.
Refer to Assembly Instructions (Figure 2).

CALIBRATION
NOTE: Ensure that nothing is in contact with the scale system during this procedure. Remove
hands from the system when noting the displayed calibration results.
CHECKING CALIBRATION
STEP 1: Select two (2) known calibrated weights, traceable to
NIST.
NOTE: The first weight should be at least 200 pounds (half of the
maximum scale capacity). The second weight should be less than
half of the first weight. DO NOT USE barbells or uncalibrated
weights.
STEP 2: Zero the scale by pressing and holding “ZERO /
WEIGH”button.
STEP 3: Place the first calibrated weight on the scale. Wait for scale
to stabilize; note scale reading. Remove weight.
STEP 4: Place second calibrated weight on scale. Wait for scale to stabilize; note scale reading.
Remove weight.
STEP 5: The scale readings for both weights should be within the Calibration Tolerance Table
plus or minus one digit of displayed resolution (Figure 4).

IMPORTANT
CALIBRATION CHECK Qualified service personnel only should perform this
procedure. Load cells have no user serviceable components and should not be tampered
with for any reason. Re-calibration is generally not required, but should be verified
periodically to ensure accuracy. The recommendation for calibration check is at least
once every 12 months, or as individual maintenance policy requires.
