SALTER 9150 BK3R - User Manual
A user manual for a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) body fat analyzer like the Salter scale explains how the device measures weight, body composition, and health metrics using BIA technology. The guide covers essential topics such as setup, calibration, personal data input, interpreting results–including athlete mode–and safety considerations, including electromagnetic interference risks. It also references scientific standards for body fat percentages by age and sex to help users assess their health status.

HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?
This Salter scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance
Analysis) technology which passes a tiny electrical impulse through the body to
determine fat from lean tissue, the electrical impulse cannot be felt and is perfectly
safe. Contact with the body is made via stainless steel pads on the platform of the
scale.
This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight, body fat, total body
water and BMI giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and fitness.
This scale stores the personal data of up to 8 users. As well as being an analyser
scale, this scale can be used as a conventional scale.
NEW FEATURE!
This scale features our convenient step-on operation. Once
initialised the scale can be operated by simply stepping straight on the platform – no

water percentage and BMI.
BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The human body is made up of, amongst other
things, a percentage of fat. This is vital for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions
joints and protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins
and helps the body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat
or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to your health. It is difficult to gauge
how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the
mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage.
Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than weight alone – the
composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing muscle mass rather
than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a scale indicates
‘normal weight’.
