Product Description

Scale Overview

The Detecto® Model 8430* is a high accuracy 400 pound/180 Kg capacity digital electronic column scale from the Detecto® family of scales.

The Model 8430 is an accurate and reliable scale with features ideal for use in clinics, hospitals, schools or health clubs. The scale has a large low-profile base, column mounted LCD keyboard display module, height measurement rod and an RS-232C serial port for EMR system interface. If you want an identically performing Detecto® scale with a waist high column mounted display but no height rod consider the Model 8437, a column scale with the display only. If you want a similarly performing Detecto® scale with a cable connected display consider the GP-400-758C, a platform scale with the display attached using a flexible cable.

The Model 8430 scale's features include:

• Easy to read - the scale features the Detecto® 758 keypad/display module with LCD display, On/Off and Lb/Kg controls. The scale also has a Weigh/Hold, function, flexible tare weighing and BMI calculation. The keypad/display module is attached at the top of a 37.5" column for easy waist high viewing.

• Large weighing platform - the 10-1/2" x 14-1/2" weighing platform is covered with a non-slip coating and its low 3-1/2" profile makes it easy to step on and off. Platform cover is easily removed for cleaning.

• Integral height rod - the scale includes a height rod for easy measurements of height from 30" to 78" (760 mm to 1.98 M).

• Dual mode - the scale switches between pound and kilogram mode at the push of a button on the control module..
