Detecto 339 Dual-Reading Mechanical Physician Scale with Height Rod
The Detecto 339 is a stationary eye-level mechanical physician scale that measures weight in both pounds and kilograms. Its dual-reading beam has a capacity of 440 lbs. by 4 oz or 200 kg by 100 g, and the included height rod allows standing height to be recorded at the same measurement station. The scale operates without batteries, an electrical outlet, or electronic setup.
Pound and Kilogram Weigh Beam
Model 339 displays both pounds and kilograms on its mechanical weigh beam. This distinguishes it from Detecto models configured for only one measurement system.
The die-cast beam can be read from either side. To obtain a weight reading, the operator moves the large and small poises until the beam pointer balances within the trig loop. Both poises should be returned to zero and the beam balance checked before use.
Integrated Dual-Reading Height Rod
The included height rod measures standing height from 24 to 84 inches, or 60 to 212 centimeters. It is marked in 0.125-inch and 0.1-centimeter graduations.
The combined weight-and-height configuration allows facilities to record both measurements without installing a separate wall-mounted height device.
Stationary Configuration Without Wheels or Handpost
The Detecto 339 is a stationary dual-reading model. It includes the height rod but does not include transport wheels or a handpost.
Choose this configuration when both pound and kilogram readings and standing-height measurement are required, but the scale will remain in a designated location. Buyers who need controlled relocation or an additional handhold should compare the corresponding Detecto model equipped with those features.
Steel Platform and Eye-Level Column
The scale uses mild-steel construction with a powder-coated finish. Its platform measures approximately 14.75 by 10.75 inches, or 37.5 by 27.3 centimeters, and includes a removable platform cover for routine cleaning.
The upright column places the mechanical beam at eye level. The complete scale measures 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 room for the user to step onto and off the platform. Keep the beam, poises, and height rod accessible to the operator.
Before beginning a weighing session, return 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 operating instructions and the facility’s procedures for supervision and measurement recording.
Cleaning and Routine Inspection
Use manufacturer-approved, nonabrasive cleaning methods on the platform cover, painted steel, beam, and height rod. Do not submerge the scale or spray liquid directly into the mechanical components.
Inspect the platform, column, beam, poises, pointer, height rod, and mechanical linkage for looseness, damage, misalignment, or abnormal movement. Remove the scale from service if it no longer balances or operates as documented.
