The Marsden DP-3810 Adaptor is the manufacturer-approved mains power supply for Marsden scales fitted with the DP-3810 indicator, the premium indicator model used across Marsden's high-specification clinical scale range and the indicator that supports connectivity with the TP-2100 thermal printer for printed patient weight records. Fixed-location mains operation via the DP-3810 Adaptor is the recommended power configuration for scales used as permanent ward or clinic weighing points where the TP-2100 printer generates printed weight slips for NHS drug dosing documentation and CQC clinical record requirements.
Matched to the DP-3810's electrical specification, this adaptor maintains the Class III weighing accuracy and MHRA compliance of all scales in the DP-3810-fitted range throughout continuous mains-powered clinical operation.

DP-3810-fitted scales are Class III Approved clinical devices under the NAWI Directive, and the DP-3810 Adaptor is the manufacturer-specified component required to maintain this certification in mains-powered operation. In clinical settings where the DP-3810-fitted scale is used with the TP-2100 printer to generate printed weight records for drug dosing documentation, the combination of mains power and printer connectivity creates a fully integrated clinical weighing and documentation station. CQC Regulation 17 (Good Governance) requires that clinical equipment supporting patient records and medication management is maintained in proper working order, making the correct adaptor specification a compliance-relevant component in these settings.
Is the DP-3810 Adaptor required for the TP-2100 printer to function correctly alongside the scale?
The TP-2100 printer has its own power connection separate from the scale adaptor. The DP-3810 Adaptor powers the scale indicator, while the printer has its own power supply. Both must be correctly powered for the combined scale-and-printer clinical station to function as an integrated unit. The DP-3810 Adaptor ensures the scale indicator remains continuously powered to accept and display the weight reading that the TP-2100 then prints, without the interruption that would occur if the indicator battery depleted during a clinical session where multiple consecutive patients are being weighed and printed records generated.
Which Marsden scales use the DP-3810 indicator and are therefore compatible with this adaptor?
The DP-3810 indicator is fitted across a range of Marsden's premium clinical scales including high-specification chair scales, floor scales and bed weighers. The full list of scales using the DP-3810 indicator varies by configuration ordered: Marsden's clinical sales team can confirm which indicator is fitted to any specific scale model or configuration at the point of order. If you already own a Marsden scale and need to confirm the indicator model, the indicator type is labelled on the indicator housing and can also be confirmed by Marsden using the scale serial number.
