The weight display can be switched be-
tween kilogrammes (kg), pounds (lbs) and
stones (sts). Weight is determined within a
few seconds.
You can use the pre-Tare function to
record the weights of, e.g. three types of
wheelchairs. This weight is automatically
deducted in the weighing operation.
The scale is of a very sturdy construction
and will give you long and loyal service. It
is easy to operate and the large display is
easy to read.
The seca 656 can be moved on castors.
• Be sure to use only the seca mains unit
supplied. Before plugging the mains
unit into a socket, check that the mains
voltage indicated on the mains unit
matches local mains voltage.
• When using the scale with a mains unit,
ensure that the supply cable is routed in
such a way as to exclude any type of
tripping hazard.
• The cable between the weighing plat-
form and the case must be laid so that it
does not present a tripping hazard.
• Have scale serviced on a regular basis
(see "Servicing" on page 31).
• Have repairs carried out exclusively by
authorised persons.
