Section 1: General Information

Scale Description

Fairbanks Scales TeleWeigh ™ Health Scale is designed for weighing people and communicating that information to a variety of devices, via wireless Bluetooth®. The scale has its own calibration parameters and a display for showing measurements and audible alerts for signaling the user. The scale has the ability to store up to 10 measurement results in memory. A settable real time clock is also included for measurement time stamping.

•

The scale is capable of working in a Stand Alone mode. In this mode the scale displays weight to the LCD display. The weight is shown in either pounds (lb) or kilograms (kg) depending on the setting of the slide switch on the bottom of the scale. See Section 2 step 5. or

•

BT mode - connected to a Remote Device which is equipped for Bluetooth® communications.

•

Battery powered.

−

lb (

Pounds

) is used for Standard English

Weighments.

−

kg (

Kilogram

) is used for Metric

Weighments.

−

BT (

Bluetooth

®

Section 3: Bluetooth Communications

Bluetooth

®

Introduction

The Fairbanks TeleWeigh™ Health Scale, shown in Figure 3.1 below, is designed to communicate with external Bluetooth

® enabled devices using compatible communications software. These devices are called Remote Devices. They can be computers, health monitoring equipment or other Bluetooth® enabled devices. They are programmed by the Remote Device manufacturer to use one of several

Bluetooth® communications methods. Please refer to the Remote Device manual for the specific steps required to use the Fairbanks TeleWeigh™ Health Scale with the

Remote Device.

NOTE: Not all Bluetooth

®

enabled devices have software to communicate with the TeleWeigh

™

Health Scale. The scale is designed to be part of a system when the Bluetooth

®

interface is used.

The system consists of the scale plus a

Remote Device.

Section 4: Operation

Modes of Operation

There are two basic modes of operation,

Stand Alone Weighing Operations

and

Weighing with BlueTooth

®

Communications

.

Stand Alone Weighing

Operations

1. On the bottom-side of the scale, move the switch to the one of these settings.

▪

lb (

Pounds

) is used for

Avoirdupois Weighments.

▪

kg (

Kilogram

) is used for

Metric Weighments.

2. Once the switch is selected, place the scale on a flat surface where it will be used.

3. Stand on the scale. This will activate the scale.

4. The scale will beep once to indicate it has started a measurement cycle and start displaying the weight.

5. Once the weight is stable, the scale will beep twice, indicating the weight has been captured and the display will show the captured weight.

6. Step off the scale. The displayed weight is held on the display for about ten

(10) seconds.

7. After the ten (10) seconds, the scale will briefly try to re-zero itself for the next weighment, provided there is less than ten (10) pounds on scale.

8. The scale will turn off and the weighing process is complete..

Weighing with Bluetooth

®

Communications

Section 4: Operation

1. On the bottom-side of the scale, move the switch to the appropriate setting.

▪ BT (

Bluetooth

®

Communications

) is used for communicating the weighment from the scale to an external wireless

Remote Bluetooth device.

2. Once the switch is selected, place the scale on a flat surface where it will be used.

3. Stand on the scale. This will activate the scale.

4. The scale will beep once to indicate it has started a measurement cycle and start displaying the weight. The scale will establish communications with the remote Bluetooth

®

device.

5. The scale will indicate a Bluetooth

® connection has been established by turning on the CONNECTED indicator on the display.

6. Once the weight is stable, the scale will beep twice, indicating the weight has been captured and the display will show the captured weight.

7. Step off the scale. The displayed weight is held on the display for at least ten

(10) seconds.

8. The captured weight is sent to the remote Bluetooth

®

device. If the Remote device does not confirm the weight has been received the scale will retry several times to resend the weight. If the weight is not accepted the scale will beep three times and display to indicate the weight was not sent. The unsent weight is stored internally to be resent during the next measurement cycle. The scale can store up to 10 measurements internally.

9. After the communication is complete, the scale will briefly try to re-zero itself for the next weighment, provided there is less than ten (10) pounds on scale.

10. The scale will turn off and the weighing process is complete.

08/07 12 51166 Revision 1

Section 4: Operation

Manual Zero Operation

The scale may need to be manually zeroed occasionally. The following procedure will perform a manual zero of the scale.

1. While the display is still active (thirty

seconds), press the

Zero Button

. using an item such as a straightened paper clip or toothpick.

•

This is the top hole on the bottom of

the scale near the Mode Switch.

2. Once the switch has been pressed, place the scale on a flat surface where it will be used.

3. The scale will set itself to zero (0.0) and be ready for use.

Scale Maintenance

Installing Batteries

1. To install the four (4) AA Batteries, lift the

battery cover.

2. Match the correct poles and insert two

batteries in one direction, then two in the other direction.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Finding the Best Location

•

Place the scale on a flat, solid, level floor.

•

When the scale is to be used with a remote Bluetooth

®

device the scale location must be within radio range of the remote device. Follow the Remote Device’s setup procedure to confirm communication between the scale and the Remote

Device.

•

Keep the scale in a location completely away from all high water, such as lowlying areas that may flood, and away from any drain pipes.

Cleaning the Scale

•

Use a moist cotton cloth to clean the scale.

−

If spray cleaner is needed for shoe sole marks, squirt it into the cloth, and not directly onto the scale.

−

Use only tap water in the cloth to wipe off the scale’s clear plastic display.
