Measuring units

lb pound

kg kilogram: the base unit of mass in the international

System of Units.

stone: only for countries where British English is

spoken.

General Notes:

• T

he capacity of the scale is 330 lb (150 kg, 24 st).

• F

or weight measurement, the results are shown in 0.2 lb increments (100 g, 0.01 st).

•

The measuring results of the body fat, body water and muscle percentage are shown in 0.1 % increments.

• A

ges 10 to 100 and height settings from 39” to 87” (100 to 220 cm) can be preset.

• O

n delivery, the scale is set to “inch” and “lb”. To the rear of the scale, there is a button where you can

4. The measuring principle

This scale operates according to the B.I.A. principle (bioelectric impedance analysis). This enables the mea-

surement of physical relationships within seconds by means of an unnoticeable and harmless signal from

the conductors in the scale. The body fat percentage and other physical relationships in the body can be

determined by measuring the electrical resistance (impedance) and calculating constants and individual

parameters such as age, height, gender, weight and degree of physical activity.

Muscle tissue and water have good electrical conductivity, and therefore lower resistance. Fatty tissue, on

the other hand, has low conductivity as fat cells hold a lower water content than muscles.
