4.0 Indicator Installation and Configuration
4.1 Indicator Installation
The Summit SB-1000 Bariatric Wheelchair Scale has several connections on the back of the indicator. 
Connection points include: 
• AC power connection 
• RS-232 port connection
• Scale connection port
• Adaptor storage connection
AC Power Connection 
The Summit SB-1000 Scale has a 120 VAC adaptor or 230 VAC adaptor to use when power is readily available. 
The AC power adaptor plugs into the back of the indicator as shown in 
Figure 4-1. The AC adaptor, when not in 
use, plugs into the back housing of the indicator. Figure 4-1 illustrates that location.

The Summit SB-1000 Scale is capable of running its internal sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery if no 
additional power source is available. Battery life is approximately 75 hours. If the 
LO Bat indicator is showing on 
the display, recharge the battery or connect the scale to an AC power source as soon as possible for accurate 
weighing. 
Battery Charging
When the AC adaptor is connected to a power source, the rechargeable battery goes into recharge mode. The 
LED indicator light on the back of the scale housing will illuminate red during the charging period, and change 
over to green when the battery becomes fully charged.
