Product Description and Handling Instructions

If the equipment is inadvertently overloaded (trying

to raise a resident heavier than permitted), an
automatic ‘cut out’ operates to prevent the SARA
3000 lifting a load in excess of the safe working
load; this will stop the lift motion automatically. If
this automatic cut out occurs, the electronics will
reset when the button on the handset is released.
After this, the resident can be lowered, by pressing
the “lower” function button on the handset. Remove
the resident from the equipment.

Re-verification of approved weigh scales must be
carried out in accordance with local authority rules

theoretically. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic
site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the SARA 3000 is
used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the SARA 3000 should be observed to verify
normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed. additional measures may be necessary.
b) Over the frequency range 150kHz to 80MHz, field strength should be less than 1V/m.

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the
SARA 3000
The SARA 3000is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances
are controlled. The customer and user of the SARA 3000 can help prevent electromagnetic interference by
maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters)
and the SARA 3000 by maintaining a distance of not less than 1 metre to any part of the SARA 3000,
including cables, if the transmitter’s output power rating exceeds 1W.
