How to set up an electronic balance?

The first thing to look for in any diet is weight tracking. And what helps us the most? Correctly!"It's a scales."But it would be very embarrassing if such a "simple" modern device would show a figure that in reality can not match your result. Most often, the problem lies in the wrong calibration of the device. How to set up an electronic balance? This article will help you find the answer to this question, and not only on it.

Electronic scales

We turn to the description of the burning problem, because most owners of electronic scales begin to massively get rid of the devices when they are "incorrect" work. Is it worth throwing such a technique? Not always. First you should get acquainted with the basics.

Species

First you need to understand what we are dealing with. If we are talking about scales, then we can face different types:

• Desktop. We usually see such scales at trade outlets of markets and shops. Small dimensions are an advantage, and a limited limit for weighing is not that big a disadvantage, considering the scope of use.
• Floor storage scales. The "talking" name suggests that such devices are used on bases and wholesale points. They are designed for weighing large loads.
• Floor electronic scales. The most common. Without them, not a single full physical examination. A person who cares about his health must have such a device.

The latest instruments can be classified into several groups:

• Lever. Here works the principle of the lever, which Archimedes described long ago.
• Spring. The principle of work is in the law of Hooke.
• Hydrostatic. And here the mechanism is based on measuring the density of matter.
• Strain gauges. In such weights, the deformation is converted into electrical pulses, which after processing appear on the display in the form of numerical values.

Speech, as you can already understand, will go about the latter.

Principle of operation

The device of scales consists in banal placing of cargoes on a flat surface of a platform of the device which provokes deformation of elastic elements under the action of arising forces."Deformation value" is measured by means of special strain gauges and characterizes the mass that can be observed on the information output device. At the end of mechanical procedures, a current is applied to the unit with a certain amount of power, which the cunning electronics turns into digits on the display.

How to set up an electronic floor scales?

You have become acquainted with the main nuances of work and the sphere of application. Buying such a technique, it is worthwhile to know how to check electronic scales for accuracy.

Setting up

Do you want to know only the truth about your weight? Then remember this information:

1. Place the device on a smooth and durable surface, giving it a stable position.
2. Turn on the balance. This is done in a completely different way and depends only on the model.

No more specific actions for setting up electronic scales, no need to do. If you want to use the wide functionality of your chosen model to the full - remember the previous indicators, get information about the composition of muscle, fat mass, etc., follow the instructions from the device manufacturer.

Important! Remember that the first inclusion is the key, so you need to choose the correct location.

Check for accuracy

The body weight has a property to vary, it is always worth considering.

Important! The floor scales are designed for human use. Checking the correct operation of the balance by various items can lead to breakage.

At purchase it is necessary to specify at the seller-adviser where there are reading gauges. They are usually installed in each of the legs, which ensures maximum measurement accuracy.

And now the main "secret".Obtaining accurate indications does not require a cunning setup and the work of the team of programmers. Enough "multiple" weighing. For example, five times. The data that you get will help you to know the error of the device.

Important! It is generally accepted that the permissible error should not exceed 400 grams. If the figure exceeds the allowable values, the problem can be covered in the faulty operation of the sensors, which take readings.

Usually the whole fight with this problem ends up by pressing the reset button, but if it does not return the balance to working condition, either contact the master or look for new ones.

Rating of models

Well. If you understand how to adjust the floor electronic scales, then you can safely move on to choosing a model. Here is a small rating:

1. Medisana 40419 TargetScale. Small display size and biting price are compensated by "crazy" functionality: working with mobile devices, measuring body temperature and sugar in the blood.
2. SUPRA BSS-6600 is a simple device with a corresponding small price. Are able to measure the content of fats, water, muscle and bone mass, but do not have a backlight.
3. TANITA BC-587.Unjustified cost, but a wide range of functions. In this regard, the first model is much better.

Operating instructions:

• Install the device only on a firm, level surface.
• Do not jump on the device. Libra is not a toy.
• Do not weigh anything with the help of technology, other than the mass of the human body.
• Take care of the technology carefully, if you want a long service.

This article should help you "squeeze" the device from the device with the most accurate information and extend the service life. With each use, remember the simplest rules of operation, then you will not be disappointed with the results.
