Displaying the gross weight, net weight and tare value:

Press the "0" key to change between displays for tare, gross weight (NET status indicator (5) off) and

net weight (NET status indicator (5) on). If a tare value is saved, the net weight shown corresponds to

the gross weight minus the tare value. If there is no tare value saved, the display remains in gross

mode.

The tare value flashes briefly, then after a second the display changes to gross mode.

Hold function

Use the HOLD key to hold the display if there are weight fluctuations which e.g. are caused by patient

movements on the scales. To do this, the scales must be at standstill, e.g. the standstill status indica-

tor

(14) is on (depending on the setting it is not always necessary for the scales to be at stand-

still). The Hold status indicator (15) is on.

The fixed weight can still be read after the scales have been vacated.

Deactivate the HOLD function by pressing the key again.

Determining the Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI is calculated by the relationship of body weight to height.

You need the height of the test subject to determine the body mass index. This is most easily calculat-

ed with an ADE measuring rod model MZ10023 or 10032.

Start the scales and weigh the subject. Then press the BMI key (11) to start BMI mode. The last value

entered appears on the display. Now you can use the numerical key pad to enter a new value for the

height (in cm) or to retain the value displayed. Confirm the value entered with the ENTER key or de-

lete it using the CLEAR key. After the entry has been confirmed by the ENTER key, the BMI value will

be calculated using the weight on the scales. The display changes between weight value and BMI

value "b xx.x" (every two seconds) for a period of 3 minutes. Press the BMI key (11) to cancel before

this time has expired.
