QUICK START / OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT)
Tare Function
When using these scales, the weight of an object, such as a wheelchair, can be subtracted from
the total weight in order to determine the weight of the patient alone. The Tare Function
automatically performs this subtraction. The 2500KL and 2600KL scales allow tare weight to be
entered manually by using the keypad, or automatically, as outlined in this section.
TARE
1. With all weight off the scale, press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
2. Wait until the "0.0LB" or "0.0KG" appears on the display.
3. Place the wheelchair on the scale. The display will show a value for the wheelchair's weight.
4. Press the TARE button. The scale will zero out, and the word "TARE" will appear at the
bottom center of the display, indicating that there is a tare value for this patient's wheelchair.
5. Remove the wheelchair from the scale. Once it is removed from the scale, the display will
show a negative weight, equal to the weight of the wheelchair.
6. Place the patient and wheelchair on the scale. The scale will automatically deduct the tare
weight of the wheelchair from the gross weight of the patient and wheelchair together.
7. The weight of the patient will appear on the scale.
8. With no weight on the scale, the tare value will remain on the display until changed, cleared,
or until the scale is turned off.
9. To remove the Tare, press the TARE button again. The word "TARE" will disappear from the
bottom of the display, and the tare value will be cleared from the display. The scale will resume
normal operation.
PRETARE (Limit 200.0 lb)
1. Make sure that there is no object on the weighing platform.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the scale.
3. Wait until the "0.0LB" or "0.0KG" and "ZERO" appear on the display.
4. Hold down the TARE button for 3 to 5 seconds. The word "TARE" will appear at the bottom
center of the display, and the user will be prompted to enter the tare value.
5. Use the keypad ► and ▲ buttons to enter the weight of the wheelchair or other object. Press
the ENTER button.
6. The value entered will show as a negative value on the display.
