SYSTEM DESCRIPTION and INTENDED USE

Page 9 of 23

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The SR255 Daily-Weigh

Scale employs the latest in microprocessor and load cell technology to provide accurate and repeatable weight data. Two (2) identically matched transducers are strategically placed to ensure an accurate representation of the patient’s weight.

The low power microprocessor circuitry allows the SR255 to derive its power from six (6) common “D” cell batteries that will provide up to 10,000 weight readings before needing replacement. This eliminates the need for an external battery charger or the danger of an AC power supply cord on a portable scale.

The patient’s weight is displayed on a 16-character dot-matrix LCD. With a push of a button, weight data may be viewed, in either pounds or kilograms, with a displayed resolution of 0.1 lb. or

0.1 kg.

INTENDED USE

The SR255 Daily-Weigh

Scale is designed for use as a patient weighing system for non-ambulatory patients only. Please read the following warnings to avoid injury to the patient or attendant. The SR255 Daily-

Weigh

Scale is a preferred means of gathering patient weight data of nonambulatory patients weighing up to 400 pounds. The transducer bar, using load cell technology, ensures accurate and repeatable weight readings.

WARNING

DO NOT USE FOR PATIENT TRANSPORT.

MAXIMUM 400 LB / 181 KG CAPACITY.

SPREAD THE LEGS OF THE LIFTER BASE

PRIOR TO LIFTING AND WEIGHING

PATIENT.

DO NOT USE THE PUMP HANDLE TO

MANEUVER THE SCALE

Failure to spread the legs prior to suspending patient could cause lifter to tip over and injure patient and/or attendant.

MAINTENANCE and CLEANING

Exercise caution when cleaning the display window as it is made of clear polyester and can be scratched by abrasive cleaners. Mild soap and water is recommended for general cleaning and disinfecting.

Press box under each icon to activate command

ZERO

The “ZERO” button is used to zero the system before placing a patient onto the scale system. When pressed, the display message will indicate “PLEASE WAIT

WEIGHING” “HANDS OFF”. Ensure that nothing is in contact with the weighing surface during this procedure. The display will read “WEIGHT 0.0 LB (or KG).

WEIGH

The “WEIGH” button wakes up the display and shows the patient’s weight if it should

Auto Power Down before the weighing process is done.

HOLD

The “HOLD” button freezes the displayed weight and temporarily stores it away in memory. Press “HOLD” to store the weight into memory. To recall last weight reading, press “HOLD”.

LB/KG MODE

Weight data may be viewed in either pounds or kilograms. Pressing the “LB/KG

MODE” button allows the operator to toggle between the two readings. Both pounds and kilograms are displayed in a resolution of 0.1.

BASIC SYSTEM OPERATION

ZERO

With the stretcher in place (without the patient), make sure scale is free and clear of any obstructions and press the “ZERO” button. The displayed message will indicate

PLEASE WAIT” “WEIGHING” “HANDS OFF”. Make sure that nothing is in contact with the scale while zeroing the system. In a few seconds the display will read “WEIGHT

= 0.0 LB (or KG)”. Note: If a pillow or blanket is to be added for patient comfort, place them on the scale before performing the ZERO function so they will not be included in the patients’ weight.

THEORY OF OPERATION

Page 16 of 23

SR Instruments patient weighing systems are digital scales. Strain-gauge force cells convert the force of an applied weight into an analog signal. This signal is amplified by an operational amplifier and converted to a digital signal by an analog to digital converter. The digital signal is transferred to a micro-controller where it is filtered, converted to appropriate units and displayed on a liquid crystal display.

Strain-gauge force cells each contain four strain gauges mounted in a full Wheatstone-bridge configuration. These bridges convert the physical movement of the force cell, due to the applied mass on the system, into minute changes in electrical resistance. These changes in resistance produce a voltage difference across the Wheatstone-bridge, which is amplified by the operational amplifier. The amplifier is configured to current sum the output of each cell, with potentiometers serving to adjust the sensitivity (voltage out per unit of weight applied) of each bridge. The offset potentiometer produces a small current, which nulls the output of the amplifier for an unloaded system.

The output of the operational amplifier is digitized by the analog to digital converter. The converter integrates the analog signal onto the integrating capacitor over a short interval. The integrating capacitor is then discharged at a rate proportional to the reference voltage applied to the converter.

The residual voltage on the integrating capacitor is then multiplied by a factor and again discharged at a rate proportional to the reference voltage. The residual voltage from this discharge is again multiplied by a factor and again discharged. The time taken to discharge the capacitor is proportional to the voltage from the operational amplifier, which is proportional to the applied load on the force cells. The time is stored as a binary number in the analog to digital converter and is transferred to the micro-controller when the conversion is complete.

The micro-controller averages and filters the digital output of the analog to digital converter, subtracts the value saved during the system zero operation and scales the filtered output, then displays the result on the liquid crystal display. The micro-controller performs a rolling average of data for continuous weigh and, for AutoHold, the micro-controller averages the data before locking in on the reading. If the data variance is greater than 0.1% in the AutoHold mode, the micro-controller will reset the filter and start a new averaging period.

The micro-controller can be placed in a calibration mode, where the system can be re-calibrated. In the calibration mode, the result of the weigh operation is scaled to match the value by adjusting the

“up” and “down” calibration buttons. This new calibration factor is then stored in the non-volatile memory.

CALIBRATION

IMPORTANT

CALIBRATION CHECK Qualified service personnel only should perform this procedure. Load cells have no user serviceable components and should not be tampered with for any reason. Re-calibration is generally not required, but should be verified periodically to ensure accuracy. The recommendation for calibration check is at least once every 12 months, or as individual maintenance policy requires.

NOTE: Ensure that nothing is in contact with the scale system during this procedure. Remove hands from the system when noting the displayed calibration results.

STEP 1: (Figure 15) Remove the four (4) screws on the back of the display housing.

STEP 2: (Figure 16) The Calibration buttons are located internally on the PC Board as indicated. Press the internal calibration buttons (SW5 and SW6) simultaneously to put system into calibration mode.

STEP 3: The display will read, “HOLD TO CAL” as the digit in the right hand corner counts down from 9 to 0. The display will then read “CALIBRATION” and periodically flash this on the display. In the far left corner of the display the letters

STEP 4: System offset is displayed on the right side of the screen and should read between +35 and +40 pounds. Use a fine blade screwdriver to adjust Offset Potentiometer (R13).

STEP 5: When in CAL mode, press the “ZERO” button to zero the display.

STEP 6: Center a known calibrated weight, traceable to NIST, on the stretcher and compare to display reading.

STEP 7: Adjust the reading, using the “+” or “-” buttons to match the weight. Display should be within 0.1% of the calibrated weight. See Calibration Tolerance Table.

STEP 8: Remove the weight and re-zero. Repeat steps 5, 6, and 7 until correct.

STEP 9: When settings are completed: Press the “HOLD” button to SAVE the settings or press the “WEIGH” button to CANCEL. Both choices will EXIT the CAL mode.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM

Page 20 of 23

REASON/CORRECTIVE ACTION

The characters only appear on half of the display.

The display lights appear to work but does not respond to button activation.

Press the “WEIGH” button or remove one battery.

Wait five seconds, then re-install the battery and try the “WEIGH” button again.

Button may not have “bounced” back up after being pressed. Remove the label facing and inspect buttons. Make sure the rubber “boot” is not sitting too high. Re-attach label.

The display shows no reading at all.

Check to ensure batteries are installed correctly (see directions for BATTERY REPLACEMENT).

Check transducer and readout cables to make sure they are connected securely.

The display reads “WEIGHT

OVERLOAD”.

Check to ensure the transducer wire is intact. A broken transducer wire or a bad T-Boom cable can cause this reading.

The display shows a double weight reading.

This happens when the IC5 fails. For repair information see INITIALIZATION PROCE-

DURE.

The pump could stay in the upright position until a downward force is applied.

This is acceptable behavior and is not considered a warranty issue. It could take up to 30 lbs. of downward force to lower the boom arm.

If, when boom is moved downward, there are “sticking” points where the force to lower is much greater and downward motion is erratic and not smooth.

This type of scenario implies that there could be air bubbles trapped in the system that could have been created by (a) Closing the Lock/Release Lever Arm and forcing the pump handle upward without using the pump handle and/or (b) during the shipping process. Possible Remedy: Please try the following:

(1) Close the Lock/Release Lever Arm and use the pump handle to raise the boom until it stops, (2) open the Lock/Release Lever Arm and slowly lower the boom arm with the required force until the boom stops, (3) repeat steps (1) and (2) two more times.

A small amount of hydraulic oil (about) a drop will accumulate around the piston from time to time and is normal.

This is not a warranty issue and the oil may be removed with a facial tissue.
