1. Congratulations!
The seca 856 organ and diaper scale you
have acquired is a highly-accurate yet si-
multaneously sturdy piece of equipment.
seca has been putting its experience at
the service of health for over 150 years
now, and as market leader in many coun-
tries of the world, is always setting new
standards with its innovative develop-
ments for weighing and measuring.
In accordance with national regulations, the
seca 856 organ and diaper scale is used
primarily in hospitals, general practice and
in-patient care facilities.
Weight is determined within a few sec-
onds.
The Pre-Tare function allows you to store
the weight of a dish. This weight is deduct-
ed automatically during the weighing oper-
ation.
In addition, the scale has a HOLD function
to store the weight determined and a
TARE function so that additional weights
(for example a dish) are ignored for weigh-
ing.
The scale is not sensitive to wet and can
be disinfected by wiping.
Its low power consumption means that with
a set of batteries, the seca 856 can be
used on a mobile basis for long periods.
2. Safety
Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety
instructions.
• Follow the safety instructions in the in-
struction manual.
• Keep the operating manual and the
declaration of conformity contained
therein in a safe place.
• Do not drop the scale or subject it to
violent shocks.
• Use only the type of battery stated (see
“Power supply” on page 13).
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see “Servicing” on page 17).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
