2 Basic Information (General) It is absolutely necessary that you read and understand the operating instructions prior to installation and commissioning and follow the instructions during the process! 2.1 Proper use The balance you purchased is intended to determine the weighing value of material to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ balance, i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing plate.
3 Basic Safety Precautions 3.1 Pay attention to the instructions in the Operation Manual Carefully read this operation manual before setup and commissioning, even if you are already familiar with KERN balances. Versions in other languages are non-binding translations. The only binding version is the original document in German. 3.2 Personnel training The appliance may only be operated and maintained by trained personnel. 4 Transportation & Storage 4.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site: Place the balance on a firm, level surface; Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight; Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors; Avoid jarring during weighing; Protect the balance against high humidity, vapors and dust; Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.
5.5 Connection of peripheral devices Before connecting or disconnecting of additional devices (printer, PC) to the data interface, always disconnect the balance from the power supply. With your balance, only use accessories and peripheral devices by KERN, as they are ideally tuned to your balance. 5.6 Initial Commissioning A warming up time of 2 hours after switching on stabilizes the measuring values. The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of gravity.
6 Operation 6.1 Starting the scales and switching on the screen Starting balance by touch screen Welcome display: The welcome display appears after touching the touch display and the start up of the scales. The location and operator must be specified in order to start the stocktaking. Please press the inverted buttons.
