3. Slide one of the two stabilisers onto the upright, then the measuring head rest and then
slide the second stabiliser above it. Position the stabilisers so that they are clear of the
joins on the upright sections.
4. Place the base plate on a firm, level surface. Both stabilisers should rest against a wall
to ensure rigidity. An accurate measurement can only be guaranteed, if installed in the
described way.
1. Stand the subject to be measured on the footprints, preferably barefoot, with the heels
together and touching the backstop.
2. Check that the legs are straight and position the buttocks and shoulder blades
touching the uprights. The shoulders should be relaxed and arms placed to the side.
3. Position the head in the Frankfurt Plane with both hands having lowered the
measuring arm firmly onto the head. The Frankfurt Plane is an imaginary horizontal
line running between the ear hole and the lower border of the eye.
