SafetyThe weight display can be switched betweenkilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) andstones (sts). Weight is determined within afew seconds.In addition to the conventional determinationof weight, the seca 767 also has afunction for determining body mass index.For this purpose, height is entered on thekeypad and the body mass index associatedwith the weight value is output.Its low power consumption means that witha set of batteries, the seca 767 can beused on a mobile basis for long periods.Before using the new scale, please take a little time to read the following safety instructions.• Follow the safety instructions in the instructionmanual.• Have repairs carried out exclusively byauthorised persons.• Keep the operating instructions and thedeclaration of conformity in a safe• Use only the type of battery stated (see“Changing the batteries” on page 22).place.• When using the scale with a mains unit,• Do not drop the scale or subject it to violentshocks.ensure that the supply cable is routed insuch a way as to exclude any type of• Have scale serviced on a regular basis(see “Servicing” on page 22).tripping hazard.14

3. Before you start…UnpackingThe scope of supply includes:• Weighing platform• Column with display head• 1 WAF 5 Allen key• 2 Screws• Battery holder containing4 mignon-type AA 1.5 V batteries• 1 set of operating instructionsFitting the columnThe column with the LCD display can be fitted in two positions, allowing you to determinein which direction the display is legible - facing either towards or away from the platform.– Place the column in the recess, facing itin the desired direction.– Screw the column to the weighing platformfrom underneath.If necessary, lay the scale carefully onits side to tighten up the screws.– Connect the plug of the connectingcable to the rear of the scale.– Then place the scale upright again.Power supplyThe scale is powered exclusively by batteries.The LC display has a low power consumption – 120.000 weighing operations can be performedwith one set of batteries.– Carefully turn over the scale so that thebase of the scale is accessible.– Push the battery compartment closuretowards “Battery” and open the cover.– Connect the cable to the holder andbatteries.– Place the holder in the battery compartment.– Close the cover and then turn the scaleback up the right way.Note: the scale is prepared for use with a seca mains unit which is available asan accessory.Model 767 GB 15

Correct weighing– Press the Start key.se(a, 8.8.8.8.8. and 0.0 appear consecutivelyin the display. The scale isthen automatically set to zero and readyto use.– If necessary, switch the weight display(see page 17).– Stand on the scale and keep still.– Read the weighing result off the digitaldisplay.– If a load greater than 200 kg or 450 lbsis placed on the scale, St0P appears inthe display.Switching the weight displayThe weight display can be switched between kilogrammes (kg) and pounds (lbs) or betweenkilogrammes (kg) and stones (sts).– Switch on the scale using the greenStart key. Weight is initially displayed inthe last setting selected.– To switch the weight display betweenkilogrammes and pounds, press the kg/lbs/sts key.– The kg or lbs display lights up.– To switch weight display betweenpounds and stones, hold down thekg/lbs/sts key for approx. 2 seconds.The lbs or sts display lights up.Automatic switch-off/economy modeThe scale automatically detects whether it is being operated on rechargeable batteriesalone or whether it is connected to the mains.– With rechargeable battery operation: automatic shut-down after 30 seconds.– With mains operation: shut-down only via keypad.Model 767 GB 17

Taring weight display (TARE)The tare function is very useful, for example for determining the weight of a child, animalor other object placed on the scale in addition to yourself.Proceed as follows:– Press the green Start key.– First stand on the scales yourself withoutthe additional weight and activatethe Tare function by depressing andholding the HOLD/TARE key.The display is reset to zero, 0.0 flashesin the display until weight is detected tobe stable. Only then is the Tare functionfully activated. The note “NET” appears.– Now take the additional load onto thescale. You can leave the scale to do so,in which case ---- appears.The scale determines the weight of theadditional load. You can now performas many weighing operations as youlike.– Hold the key down again to deactivatethe Tare function; the scale is then backin normal weighing mode and the tarevalue has been erased.– The tare value is likewise erased by thescale being switched off.18

Store weight value (HOLD)You can also continue displaying the weight determined once the load has been removed.This makes it possible to look after a patient first, before having to note the weight:– Press the HOLD/TARE key whilst theload is on the scale.“HOLD” appears in the digital display. Thevalue is stored until the scale switches offautomatically.– The HOLD function can be switched offby pressing the HOLD key again.0.0 appears in the display if the scale hasno load on it, otherwise the current weight.The “HOLD” display vanishes.Note:The HOLD and TARE functions can also be used simultaneously.Body Mass Index (BMI)Body Mass Index puts height and weight in relationship to one another, providing moreaccurate information than ideal Broca weight, for example. A tolerance range is givenwhich is considered ideal for health. The Body Mass Index applies only to adults: thesevalues are not relevant to children and young people.– Press the Start key.se(a, 8.8.8.8.8. and 0.0 appear consecutivelyin the display. The scale isthen automatically set to zero and readyfor operation.– Press the FUNC key.On the display, you will see the lastheight entered.– You can use the arrow keys to adjustthe value in increments according to thegraduations displayed.– Once the correct value is set, press theFUNC key again. The BMI function isnow activated.– Step on the scale and keep still.– Read off the BMI on the digital displayand compare it with the categories onpage 20.– Press an arrow key if you would like tosee the weight briefly.– To return to normal weighing mode,press the FUNC key.Model 767 GB 19

– To switch off the scale, press the Startkey again.Evaluating Body Mass Index:Compare the value determined with the categories shown below.• BMI below 18:Warning, this patient weighs too little. There could be a tendency to anorexia. An increasein weight is recommended to improve well-being and performance. If in doubt,consult a specialist.• BMI between 18 and 20:Patient is at lower weight limit. If he feels well and is completely healthy, his weight canstay as it is.• BMI between 20 and 25:The patient is of a normal weight. He can stay as he his.• BMI between 25 and 30:The patient is slightly to moderately overweight. He should cut his weight if he is alreadyill (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, gout, fat metabolism disorders).• BMI over 30:Weight reduction is essential. Metabolism, cardiovascular system and bones are all understrain. A consistent diet, plenty of movement and behavioural training are all recommended.If in doubt, consult a specialist.5. CleaningClean the rubber surface and the housing as required using a domestic cleaning agent orcommercially-available disinfectant. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.Under no circumstances use abrasive or acid cleaners, white spirit, benzene or the like forcleaning. Such substances can damage the high-quality surfaces.20

6. What do I do if…… no weight display comes on?– Is the scale switched on?– Check the batteries.– Is the plug contact for connecting the display to the scale correctly connected?… 0.0 does not appear before weighing?– Switch off the scale with the Start key and start the scale again – there must not beany load on the scale – and only its feet should be in contact with the floor.… one segment is illuminated constantly or not at all?– The relevant segment has a fault. Inform Servicing.… the display shows ?– Battery voltage is running low. Change the batteries in the next few days.… batt appears in the display?– Batteries are empty. Put in new batteries.… St0p appears in the display?– Maximum load has been exceeded.… the display flashes?– If you have just activated the Hold or Tare function, please wait until the scale has detecteda steady weight value. The display will then stop flashing.– If there has been no activation of a function beforehand, remove the load from the scaleand wait until 0.0 is displayed, then weigh again.… the display appears?– The ambient temperature of the scale is too high or too low. Place the scale in anambient temperature between +10 °C and +40 °C. Wait about 15 minutes for thescale to adapt to the ambient temperature and then weigh again.… the display E and a number appear?– Switch off the scale with the Start key and start the scale again. The scale will thenwork normally again.If this is not the case, disconnect the power supply by briefly removing the batteries. Ifthis measure is equally unsuccessful, inform the Service department.Model 767 GB 21
