Frequently Asked Questions - M318800 ADE

How to assemble the M318800 scale?

Follow the steps in order: attach the adjustable feet under the platform, assemble the column, attach the beam to the long lever, install the stadiometer, then mount the moving castors. Use the provided key to tighten the screws without over-tightening.

How to adjust the tare (zero) before first use?

Place both sliding weights on zero, step on and off the scale several times to free the mechanisms, then slowly turn the tare adjustment screw until the beam is exactly level.

How to perform an accurate weighing?

Step onto the scale, slide the large counterweight to the estimated mass, then adjust with the small counterweight until the beam is level. Add the two values to get the total mass.

How to measure height with the stadiometer?

Place the cursor horizontally, raise the stadiometer, then have the person sit or stand. Lower the cursor to the top of the head. Read the measurement on the red line or between the two white triangles.

What to do if the person measures less than 114.7 cm?

Press the red button above the measurement, then lower the cursor until it reaches the top of the head. The reading is done in the same way.

How to clean the scale?

Use a damp cloth with mild detergents. Never use corrosive or aggressive products, and do not immerse the device in water or other liquids.

How to move the scale?

Tilt it onto the castors after checking they are properly attached. Make sure the platform no longer touches the ground before moving it.

What is the maximum weighing capacity?

The maximum capacity is 200 kg (or 440 lb for model M318800-02). The graduation is 100 g.

What does the 2-year warranty cover?

ADE repairs or replaces the product in case of material or workmanship defects. Excluded are: spare parts, natural wear, damage due to mishandling or transport without original packaging.

Where to find the declaration of conformity?

Assembling

Fig.1-ADE M318800

The assembling of the scale is easily done as all parts and components are pre-assembled during manufacturing:

Fixing of levelling feet

The levelling feet are to be screwed into the holes underneath the weighing platform.

Assembling of the pillar

Fig. 3 - Pillar assembling

1. Insert the pillar upright into the bracket
2. Use the screws and washers to fix the pillar in a vertical position

Connection of the steelyard rod to the long lever

Fig. 4 - Connection of the steelyard
Fig.4-1 Fig.4-2 Fig.4-3

1. Place the pillar on a table (Fig. 4).
2. Disassemble the transport wires of the levers.
3. Insert the wrench to the small hole in front of the steelyard rod and pull the steelyard rod hock out.
4. Push the long lever up and hook the bearing of the steelyard rod over the pivot of the long lever (Fig. 4-2).
5. Take the wrench off (Fig. 4-3).
6. Place the scale gently on the ground.

The connecting rod must move freely.

Height rod Installation

Fig 5-2

Fig 5-3

1. Place the height measure with the holes at the back side onto the bolts at the front side of the pillar, adjust the height rod downwards to the right position (Fig. 5-1).
2. Use the wrench to tighten the two hex-head screws. Do not over tighten the screws (Fig. 5-2).
3. Take the wrench away after tightening of the screws (Fig. 5-3).

Installation of castors - moving wheels

Fig 6-1

Moving wheel installation

1. Place the wheel-set with the two holes towards the frame (platform) of the scale. The holes must be in an upside position.
2. Use the screws and washers to fix the wheel-set to the frame (platform) and adjust the wheel-set at a level position, then tighten the screws.
3. When moving the scale first tilt the scale on the wheels and make sure, that the platform is well off the ground.

Correct weighing and measuring

Zero adjustment:

Before the first use of the scale, please adjust the zero point carefully to insure correct weighing results.

• First step on and off the scale for several times to make sure that all parts come back into the right position after transport.
• For zero setting keep the platform empty.
• Set both sliding weights on the beam (head part) into zero position.
• The beam has to move freely equilibrating very close to level.
• Turn the zero adjustment screw (Fig. 3) slowly to the right respectively to the left to bring the beam into the exact level position.
• The scale is now ready to be used.

A periodically zero setting according to the previous instructions should be done. This applies especially if the scale is used in a different place and on a different surface.

Weighing

• Step on the scale.
• Slide the larger counterweight to the estimated weight.
• Now use the small sliding weight to reach the correct result.
• Wait until the beam comes close to a standstill in even position.
• Even if the head is still moving you can read the correct result + - 100g
• Total weight is the addition of both results (smaller and larger counterweight).

Length Measuring

• Place measuring tongue into a horizontal position and pull the height rod up.
• Place the person on the scale and place the measuring tongue on top of the head.
• For the person shorter than 114.7cm push the red button on top of the measure and lower the measuring tongue until it reaches the person's head.
• The reading is done either at the red line or between the two white triangles.
• If the measure is not in use, place the measuring tongue in a vertical position and push the height measure down.

Cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning

For cleaning just use a damp cloth or common disinfection fluids. Do not use any aggressive cleaning fluids.
