ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Troubleshooting / FAQ’s
Headpiece only displays “Strt”.
The headpiece must travel past the reference dot after it is turned on to
display a numeric value.
The display does not change while the headpiece is being raised.
The measurement value only changes while the headpiece is moving
downwards. This is an intentional design feature that is part of the autohold function. Once the measurement is taken, the headpiece can be
raised out of way so the subject can move away from the height rod and
the measurement value is retained.
If I don’t like the measurement, can I quickly re-measure?
Sure, while the subject is still under the headpiece, simply raise the
headpiece a little ways and then lower to take a second measurement.
Before Assembly
Carefully inspect the carton for shipping damage before unpacking. If
significant damage is found, keep all packaging and contact your shipper or
Befour immediately. Claims must be filed with the shipper as soon as
possible after receipt of damaged goods.
Carefully unpack the components from the shipping container. Your

Is there a quick way to do a calibration check?
Yes, once calibrated, the value when the headpiece is all the way down
(against the lower endcap) is a constant. You can record this value and
quickly check whenever desired.

Why does the height rod display 5’ 7.3” as 5. 7.3?
This is a limitation of the bright LED digits. We have found people become
accustomed to this format very quickly.

Mounting the HTR-202 Portable Height Rod
The HTR-202 has a 51” measurement span. The actual measurement range
will vary slightly from set-up to set-up as each door’s top mounting surface is
at a different height.
Measuring Height
1. Press and release the on/off button.
“Strt” will be flashing.
1. Determine the location for the height rod. The ideal location will have
sufficient space on the right side for the health care professional to stand
as the display is on that side. It should also have a level, hard flooring
surface — carpeted flooring should be avoided, if possible. Also, the
location should be away from foot traffic to minimize the chance of a
person accidentally walking into the head-piece.
2. Using the bracket knob, attach the mounting bracket to the top of the
height rod. Check that the bracket is straight with the height rod rail and
then tighten the knob screw. Now attach rubber feet to the bottom of the
height rod rail.
3. Set mounting bracket on top of door and tighten the adjustable door
clamp if needed.
Reference

2. Move the headpiece so it passes
the reference dot. “Strt” will stop
flashing and a beep will sound.
Raise the headpiece so it will be
well above the patient’s head.

Calibration
Calibration needs to be done with door mounting. Each time the
measurement rail is moved from one door to a different door location, it will
need to be re-calibrated. The height rod retains calibration during battery
changes.
4. Lower the headpiece until its bottom silver surface just touches the top of
the calibration rod. While holding the headpiece touching the calibration
rod, press and release the on/off button. “100.0” will now be flashing on the
display.
Use care and recheck your work as calibration is the key factor in the
accuracy of the height rod.
1. Turn on by pressing and releasing the on/off button. A flashing “Strt” will
display.
2. Press and hold the on/off button for 7 seconds until flashing “r100”
displays. Release the button.
