Packaged Goods Regulation (PGR/FPVO). To weighing scales specially designed for packaged goods applies § 22 of the Packaged Goods Regulation PGR. This paragraph says: (1) Commercially produced, packaged goods labelled by weight or volume of the same nominal filling quantity must be produced in such as way that the filling quantity at the point of production 1. on average does not drop below the nominal filling quantity and 2.
Packaged goods manufactured and tested according to the rules stipulated by the Packaged Goods Regulation bear the following marking on their label: Weighing scales to be used in packaged goods control must have type approval according to category III combined with a valid verification.
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.
5 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 5.1 Installation Site, Location of Use The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in common conditions of use. You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
5.6 Adjustment As the acceleration value due to gravity is not the same at every location on earth, each balance must be coordinated - in compliance with the underlying physical weighing principle - to the existing acceleration due to gravity at its place of location (only if the balance has not already been adjusted to the location in the factory). This adjustment process must be carried out during the initial start-up, after change in location and variation of surrounding temperature.
6 Operation 6.1 Start the scale and turn on the screen Start scale by touching the touch panel Start-up screen: After contact the Touches and start up the scale the following screen appears. To start the measurement it must necessarily be given the Article and the Operator. Please press the reverse button.

6.2 Select Operator/Article Select Operator: After pressing the operator key select fields will appear for authorized operators. Select the current operator. If no operator is available, they must be re-entered via MENU / Memory / Operator / Description. Now in the second information row the selected user appears (see arrow). Now press the ARTICLE button. Select Article: Select from the displayed article selection fields the right item by pressing.
Now in the first line of information the selected Item and the Item code appears (see arrows). 6.3 Start the measurement To start the measurement, please press STRT / MEAS key The different types of measurement (average Tara, Tara previous, Tara afterwards) can be selected in each article. In this example, "Tara average" The weighing mode is displayed at the top right. Well the first target must be placed.
After the first measurement object has been placed it will be confirmed with TAKE GROS. The balance jumps automatically to the second target. At any time you can stop the measurement with QUIT MEAS. OK = measured value is within the tolerance (between TU and TO) + = passed the upper limit (TO) - = below the lower limit (TU) After the last measurement object the scale displays "Ready" and the series of measurements can be printed with PRNT END. By pressing, the scale also jumps back to the start screen.
6.4 Creating products with desired specifications You can enter the specific values of each item under MENU / Memory / Item / Item*. On the first page of the article the following data can be entered: Item: memory location number Number: article number or code Machine: enter the machine number Tara: weighing type (Tara previous, Tara afterwards, Tara average) Description: product name Density: density value of the article You can use the arrow key to scroll to the second page.
The automatic limit value calculation is active if under MENU / Configuration / Setting control mode / Tolerance the "tolerance" is set to automatically and the verification switch is active. After entering a setpoint the ohter limits are automatically calculated according to the statutory FPVO regulation. On page 3 of the item you will get insight into the respective daily and weekly statistics. If desired, these can be printed.
6.5 Activate operator Under MENU / Memory / Operator/ Activated you can activate the created operator, so that they are visible on the start-up page under "OPERATOR" and can be selected. 6.6 Operating mode settings Please press on the start-up screen the "MENU CAL" button. Then select in the menu the "Configuration" button.
Now, "Setting control mode" appears. This also choose. Under Setting control mode, then you can adjust various settings: Automatic: Automatic mode can be enabled and disabled. Tolerance: When "automatic" is activated, the tolerances are automatically calculated according to the statutory FPVO regulation. The verification switch must then be activated in this case! Histogram: The histogram printout will be activated and displayed in the respective product data.

9 Instant help In case of an error in the program process, briefly turn off the balance and disconnect from power supply. The weighing process must then be restarted from the beginning. Help: Fault Possible cause The displayed weight does not glow. • The balance is not switched on. • The mains supply connection has been interrupted (mains cable not plugged in/faulty). • Power supply interrupted.
