Scale Mother/Child Batteries Mains Solar
Scale Mother/Child Batteries Mains Solar (Product Code: SLE/AE/13) is a portable electronic floor scale used to weigh adults and children up to 150 kg in 100 g steps in clinical and survey settings. Its default mother-child mode tares automatically, so a child held by an adult can be weighed, and it runs on mains, direct solar power or six AA batteries. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the digital weighing balance range it offers in India.

What Is the Mother/Child Scale Used For?
Place the scale on a flat, hard surface, level it with the adjustable feet and switch it on. The mother or caregiver steps onto the mat alone and her weight is displayed; she is then handed the child, the scale tares itself automatically, and the display shows only the child’s weight. For a school-age child or adult who can stand unaided, switch to mother-only mode and weigh the person directly.
In the field, leave the solar panel in sunlight during the day; at a clinic, keep the scale on the mains adapter, and carry a spare set of AA batteries as a final back-up. Engage the transport mode before packing the scale into a vehicle to protect the load cells on rough roads. Nutrition survey teams value it because a single scale serves every household member.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of scales, and whether spare sets of AA batteries are wanted.
- The mains plug standard used at your sites, so the multi-country plug set can be checked.
- Whether footprint markings on the foot mat are required (listed as optional).
- The delivery destination and any programme specification document.
