Detecto 337 Dual-Reading Mechanical Physician Scale
The Detecto 337 is a stationary eye-level mechanical physician scale that displays weight in both pounds and kilograms. Its dual-reading weigh beam has a capacity of 440 lbs. by 4 oz or 200 kg by 100 g, allowing a facility to use either measurement system without batteries, an electrical outlet, or electronic setup.
Pound and Kilogram Weigh Beam
Unlike pound-only and kilogram-only models in the broader Detecto family, model 337 provides both measurement units on its mechanical beam. The die-cast beam is marked on both sides so the operator can view the measurement from either side of the scale.
To determine weight, move the large and small poises until the beam pointer balances within the trig loop. Return both poises to zero and verify beam balance before beginning a weighing session.
Base Configuration Without Added Accessories
The Detecto 337 is the stationary dual-reading base model. It does not include a height rod, transport wheels, or a handpost.
Choose this configuration when weight measurement in both pounds and kilograms is required but standing-height measurement and mobility accessories are not. Facilities needing those features should compare the corresponding Detecto models rather than assuming they are included with the 337.
Eye-Level Display and Steel Construction
The upright column positions the mechanical beam at eye level for convenient operation. The scale uses mild-steel construction with a powder-coated finish and a removable platform cover for routine cleaning.
The platform measures approximately 14.75 by 10.75 inches, or 37.5 by 27.3 centimeters. The complete scale is approximately 58.25 inches high and 17.5 inches wide.

Placement and Operating Considerations
Place the scale on a hard, level, and stable surface with enough clearance for a person to step onto and off the platform. Keep the beam and poises accessible to the operator.
Before use, move both poises to zero and confirm that the beam pointer is centered. The user should stand near the center of the platform with weight distributed evenly. Follow Detecto’s current owner’s manual and the facility’s procedures for assistance, supervision, and measurement recording.
Cleaning and Routine Inspection
Clean the platform cover and painted surfaces with manufacturer-approved, nonabrasive materials. Do not submerge the scale, spray liquid into its mechanical components, or use wire brushes and abrasive pads.
Inspect the platform, column, beam, poises, pointer, and mechanical linkage for looseness, damage, misalignment, or abnormal movement. Remove the scale from service if it no longer balances or operates as documented.
