cables.
2. Safety
Before using the new measuring rod, please take a little time to read the following safety
instructions.
• Follow the instructions in the instruction
manual.
• You must not drop the measuring rod or
display housing nor subject them to vio-
lent shocks.
• After measuring height, push the slide
unit back up – risk of injury!
Model 242/245
The seca 242 measuring rod is fixed di-
rectly to the wall – you can define the
height at which it is fixed, and thus the
measuring range, yourself.
The seca 245 measuring rod is supplied
with a statometer. This can be moved on
castors, allowing it to be used on a mobile
basis.
The height displayed can be switched be-
tween centimetres (cm) and inches (ins).
On both models, the current value can be
specified as a temporary zero point, allow-
ing relative measurements of extremities,
for example, to be made.
The measuring rod is of a very sturdy con-
struction, and will give you long and relia-
ble service.
• seca 245 only: ensure that the patient
does not lean against the measuring rod
risk of falling!
• Have repairs performed solely by au-
thorised persons.
