1. Introduction
About your scale:
The Oxford Digital Scale is a technologically advanced, microprocessor controlled, digital
weighing device. It features two large, easy to read, Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) that show the

The controls are simple and straightforward to use. The Oxford Digital Scale is powered by an
inexpensive, common 9 volt battery.
The Oxford Digital Scale can be used in conjunction with the Oxford Presence and Stature. The
model numbers for the scale are:
OXF-UNISCALE100 4-point cradle with scale (calibrated for UK)
OXF-UNISCALE100EU 4-point cradle with scale (calibrated for non UK)
OXF-UNISCALE101 6-point spreader bar with scale (calibrated for UK)
OXF-UNISCALE101EU 6-point spreader bar with scale (calibrated for non UK)
OXF-UNISCALE102 4-point Adaptive power cradle with scale (calibrated for UK)
OXF-UNISCALE102EU 4-point Adaptive power cradle with scale (calibrated for non UK)

complies with the following EC Directives:
• Medical Device Directive (MDR) 2017/745
• EMC Directive (2014/30/EU)
• NAWI Directive (2014/31/EU)
• RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU)

3. Assembly
Your weigh scale comes fully integrated with the 6 point (loop) spreader bar, 4-point (non-
powered) cradle or a 4-point adaptive power cradle (powered) cradle.
Attaching the scale/cradle assembly to the lift is quick and easy and will require a small blade
screwdriver.
You need to rst remove your existing spreader bar or cradle from the lift.
Removal of the spreader bar/cradle:
To attach your new Oxford digital scale you may rst need to remove the spreader bar/cradle from
the lift by removing the quick release pin that retains the 4-point cradle or 6-point spreader bar
(Fig. 2). A small at blade screw driver is the only tool required.
Caution: Prior to removing the quick release pin, the cradle needs to be supported by a stationary
object such as a work bench or table. This will prevent the cradle from dropping suddenly
preventing an injury or damage to the cradle.

Connection of the Spreader Bar/Cradle:
To connect, raise the spreader bar/cradle up towards the boom slot. Once aligned in the boom
slot reinsert the quick release pin fully into the fulcrum bush until it locks into position. YOU
MUST CHECK THAT THE PIN IS SECURELY FITTED; a noticeable “click” will sound when the
connection has been made secure.
To do this, press your nger into the barbed end. If the pin remains stationary the lift is safe to use
(Fig. 3).
WARNING
The pin and fulcrum bush must engage through the boom slot. If the fulcrum bush
becomes misaligned this may result in serious injury/death.

4. Operation
The Oxford scale has been designed and certied to weigh up to 400kg in 0.2 increments. It has
been certied to weigh in temperatures between 5˚C/35˚C.
To weigh a patient follow the instructions below:
1. To power up the scale press and release the ON/ZERO button. The display will show either 0.0
or a random measurement.
2. Attach the sling to the spreader bar/cradle that will be used to weigh the patient (this is
necessary so the weight of the sling is not included with the patient’s weight).
3. Press and hold the ON/ZERO button for approximately 2 seconds until “ZERO” is displayed.
The scale will zero and is now ready to weigh a patient.
NOTE: The upper left corner of the display will have the “>0<” symbol. This indicates that the
scale has been properly zeroed. No more than 40kg can be tared to zero.
4. Remove the sling from the spreader bar/cradle and place the sling around/under the patient for
proper lifting.
5. Reattach the sling to the spreader bar/cradle; raise the patient so that they are suspended
from the lift.
NOTE: The patient must not be touching anything such as a chair or bed since this will cause
an error in weighing.
6. Once the digital display has stabilized, record the weight and then lower the patient onto the
appropriate surface (i.e. bed, chair).
NOTE: The upper left corner of the display will have the “>p<” symbol. This indicates that the
weight being measured is stable.
7. The scale has been programmed to turn o after 1 minute to conserve battery life. The zero
(TARE) will be maintained. To restart the scale prior to lowering the patient, push the ON/
ZERO pad momentarily (do not hold for >2 seconds or the scale will be zero under the weight
of the patient). The display will show the start up screen and then show the patient’s weight
NOTE: To restart the scale, be sure to push the ON/ZERO. If the scale is “turned on” and the
pad is pushed again or pressed for more than 2 seconds, the scale may go to zero (0.0) and
the patient’s weight will be lost.
8. The RECALL feature is designed to retain in the memory the last stable weight for a patient
NOTE: Pressing the RECALL button will display the last viewed stable weight, indicated by
the MEM symbol in the upper left corner of the display.

5. Operation Features
• All functions are accessible to the user without opening the case.
• Starting or zeroing the scale is done through a single touchpad located on the front of the case.
• Stable readings are achieved through digital averaging. Once the digital display has stabilised,
the stable weight will be held. To make the scale active again, push the ON/ZERO pad
momentarily. The held weight is stored in a non-volatile memory for later recall if required.
• Display turns o after 60 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery life.
• Recall of the last held weight is available by pressing the RECALL pad. This allows a reading of
the last patient’s weight, after the patient has been removed from the scale.
• Battery change is made easy with external access to the battery holder.
