Frequently asked questions
What is the height measurement range?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer offers a wide measurement range, accommodating both small children and tall adults.
The specific range is:
- 0 to 9 feet
- 0 to 275 cm
What power sources does the stadiometer use?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer is designed for versatile use, offering two main power options:
- AC Power: It comes with an AC power adapter (UL/CSA listed) for fixed or continuous operation.
- Battery Power: For portable use, the stadiometer can be powered by six “AA” cell batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH). Please note that the batteries are not included.
Can the stadiometer run on batteries for mobility?
Yes, the Detecto SONARIS Stadiometer is designed for versatile power options to ensure true mobility.
It can operate using:
- The included AC power adapter (100–240 VAC).
- Six “AA” cell batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH types). Please note that batteries are sold separately.
This dual power capability, combined with the auto-calibration feature, allows it to be used stand-alone on a tabletop or mounted in various locations without continuous reliance on an AC outlet.
Is the measurement process hygienic?
Yes, the Detecto SONARIS stadiometer is designed to be highly hygienic. It utilizes sonar technology for completely touchless height measurement, eliminating the need for physical contact. This makes it ideal for medical facilities, clinics, and school health environments where strict hygiene standards must be maintained.
What is the measurement accuracy?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer provides accurate digital readouts. The graduation levels depend on the unit of measure selected:
- For feet/inches (ft/in) and inches (in), the accuracy is 0.2” graduations.
- For centimeters (cm), the accuracy is 0.5 cm graduations.
- For millimeters (mm), the accuracy is 5 mm graduations.
What power supply is included?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer includes an AC power adapter (part #6800-1045) for immediate use.
For portable operation, the stadiometer can also be powered by six “AA” cell batteries (Alkaline, Ni-Cad, or NiMH), but these are not included.
Where is the Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer manufactured?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer is made in the USA.
Does the stadiometer allow tabletop or wall mounting?
Yes, the Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer is designed for maximum flexibility and portability, supporting two main usage configurations:
- Stand-alone on a tabletop: Ideal for portable use and temporary setups.
- Fixed mounting: Capability to be permanently affixed against a wall.
Crucially, the stadiometer features an auto-calibration function. This allows the device to automatically calibrate itself to its current position, ensuring immediate and accurate measurements whether it is used freestanding or mounted.
How does the stadiometer offer hygienic measurements?
The Detecto SONARIS Sonar Stadiometer provides hygienic height measurement through its touchless sonar technology. This advanced method instantly triangulates the top of the patient’s head, eliminating the need for any physical contact and thereby reducing the risk of cross-contamination compared to traditional slide stadiometers.
Is the display easy to read?
Yes, the stadiometer features a 0.75” (19 mm) high, seven-segment LCD readout with a bright blue backlight, ensuring that measurements are clear and easy to read in various lighting conditions.
