SCALE
Scale “A”
There are two scale systems available for the bed. Scale System A has an operating range of 0 kg to
227 kg (0 lb to 500 lb). Scale System B (NAWI Compliant EN 45501) has an operating range of 10 kg to
250 kg (22 lb to 551 lb). The controls for the scale systems are under the Scale menu control.
Refer to the images and page numbers shown below to determine which instructions apply to your
scale system:
Scale A Scale B—NAWI Compliant EN 45501
Refer to page 51. Refer to page 57.
Through the Scale menu control you can do these:
•Zero the scale.
• Weigh the patient.
• Temporarily view the weight in pounds (lb).
• View the current patient’s weight, previous weight, and the
difference between the two.
WARNING:
These warnings apply to both zero the scale and weigh procedures. To help prevent injury and/or
equipment damage, obey these warnings:
• Warning—The scale is very sensitive. Make sure the bed is not touching anything that could
affect the patient weight (other beds or carts, headwall, miscellaneous drainage lines, etc.)
while the bed is in the zeroing or weighing process. Failure to do so could cause an
inaccurate weight reading.
• Warning—Always use the New Patient zero before a patient is admitted into the bed. Failure
to do so may keep old patient data in the bed and cause a risk to the new patient.
NOTES:
These notes apply to both zero the scale and weigh procedures:
• The scale will only work when the bed is connected to AC power.
• The equipment in the foot-end sockets will be included in the Zero and patient Weigh
processes.
• Everything on or attached to the articulating upper frame and siderails will be included in the
Zero and patient Weigh processes.
• The headboard and devices mounted to the head end of the bed will not be included in the
Zero and patient Weigh processes.
