For Accurate Measurements
Always…
Ensure the weighing latform is laced on a level and stable surface.
Avoid measuring in multi le locations with greatly differing tem eratures.
This may cause inaccurate measurements. Allow the equipment to stand for at least
2 hours before using if it is moved to a new location with a temperature difference
of 20°C or more.
Avoid subjecting the equi ment to excessive shocks or vibrations.
Use in a stable location.
Errors in measurements may occur if the device is used in an unstable location.
Scheduled Maintenance
Always…
U date settings, re lace items, or call for service as necessary according to the results of the
visual ins ections. Do not use the unit if you see any signs of damage. Equi ment that has been
damaged must be checked for ro er o eration by qualified ersonnel before using again.
TANITA recommends that each facility conduct eriodic checks of each unit.
1. Check the following at least daily:
• The unit is on a stable and level surface ie on a firm flooring, not on a thick carpet
2. Visually inspect the following at least weekly:
• The display for any damage or contamination
• All cables, cords, and connector ends for damage or contamination
• All safety-related labeling for legibility
• All accessories (sensors, electrodes, etc.) for wear or damage
3. Visually inspect the following at least monthly:
• Screws on equipment

10. Measuring height procedure
The user should step on the platform without wearing shoes for accurate
measurement.
Always have someone assist the user for accurate measurement.
1) Adjust the Height Rod Arm position before the user steps on the platform. Place
hand on the Height Rod Arm.
f the subject is taller than 120 cm, pull the Height Rod Sliding Block and
Height Rod Arm at the same time upward so that the arm is positioned higher
than the subject’s head.
f the subject is shorter than 120 cm, move the Height Rod Arm down.
Incorrect way to hold
the Height Rod Arm
Correct way to hold
the Height Rod Arm
To avoid danger of breaking or coming loose, you
must hold the height rod arm securely.
2) Gently lower the Height Rod Arm until the Height Rod Arm touches the very top of the
user’s head.
3) Read the measurement.
f the subject is taller than 120 cm,
read the number just above the top of
the Upper Pillar Column (see example
#1).
f the subject is shorter than 120cm,
read the number below the Height
Rod Arm (see example #2).

11. Output data format
This section covers the exporting of data from the scale to an external device (e.g. PC) using a RS-232C and USB compliant signal.
•RS-232C and USB interface are for data OUTPUT ONLY!
•This scale is not capable of receiving instructions from an external device.
Note:
•An RS-232C connector (D sub 9-pin female) and USB connector (B-type 4-pin female) are located on the back of the display unit.
•Please provide your own cables as necessary as none are included.
RS-232C :Straight D sub 9-pin (male) – D sub 9-pin (female)
USB :A-type 4-pin (male) – B-type 4-pin (male)
•Select Switch : Please select which interface you would like to use
f you want to use the USB output, you must install the necessary driver on to your PC, available to download
from http://www.tanita.eu.

Note:
•The data are divided with commas (,) for each data.
•The terminator (end of the data) is CR (ASC code 0DH), LF (ASC code 0AH).
•The control data for the items 1 – 4 are for expansion. They are not used presently so the receiving side can ignore them.
•Because of its specifications, the scale will output an irrelevant signal approximately 0.1 second after data output. Make sure you ignore this
signal and do not import it.

•Check the connection of the AC adapter jack to the DC jack, and the connection of the AC
adapter plug to the power outlet.
•The batteries may be weak. Try an AC adapter or new LR6 (AA) batteries.
•Check the terminals of the batteries for contamination
•Batteries Unplug the DC connecter on the back of the indicator.
The batteries are running out. Please replace them immediately or use the AC adapter.
•Check that all feet of scale are stable and on a hard flat surface, carpeting depth should be
kept to a minimum.
•After having stepped down from the scale and pressed the key, perform the
measurement again.
•Accurate measurement may be impossible if the product is used where there is excessive
vibration.

•Are you moving during measurement?
• s the measured weight within the range of weight measurement?
•Are you touching the height rod arm, switch, or another part during measurement?
•The range of weight (300kg) is exceeded.
•Was anything placed on the scale before measurement?
•Check whether the cable between the platform and display is disconnected, cut, or pinched.
