5.2  Installation 
Use the foot screws to level the balance until the air bubble in the bubble level is in 
the prescribed circle. 
Notice : With non-verifiable models the air bubble is below the weighing plate. 
5.2.1  List of items supplied 
Standard accessories: 
-  Balance 
-  Weighing pan 
-  Mains adapter (15V/500mA, inside negative, outside positive pol) 
-  Operating instructions 
5.3  Mains supply 
Electric power supply is by means of the external mains supply circuit. The printed 
voltage level must comply with the local voltage. 
Only use original KERN mains supply circuits. The use of other makes is subject to 
approval by Kern. 
5.4  Rechargeable battery operation (optional) 
The balance may only be operated via an optional rechargeable battery. 
If in the display „lobat“ appears, the rechargeable battery capacity is exhausted. 
Battery will be re-loaded via mains adapter. To use the full performance of the re-
chargeable battery, the battery should be loaded at least 14 hrs. before its first use. 
To save rechargeable battery life, the balance is equipped with an Auto OFF 
function. 
This switches off the balance after a time of approximately 120 seconds after the last 
weighing or key operation. 
5.5  Initial start-up 
A warm-up time of 5 minutes stabilises the measured values after switching on. 
The accuracy of the balance depends on the local acceleration of the fall. 
Please be sure to observe the information in the chapter on adjusting.
